# Gemma2 9B for Telugu: No vocabulary adaptation

This model is built on top of Gemma2 9B adapted for Telugu using 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100.

## Model Details

* **Vocabulary**: This model has no additional target vocabulary. It retains the original vocabulary of Gemma2 9B.


## Model Description

- **Language:** Telugu
- **License:** Gemma Terms of Use
- **Fine-tuned from model:** google/gemma-2-9b

## How to Get Started with the Model
Use the code below to get started with the model.
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from peft import PeftModelForCausalLM

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-2-9b"
)
model = PeftModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model,
    "atsuki-yamaguchi/gemma-2-9b-te-30K-lapt"
)
model = model.merge_and_unload()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-2-9b"
)
```
