Model Card: Max

Model Name: Max

Base Model: Gemma 3 1B IT (Instruction-Tuned, 1 billion parameters from the Gemma 3 family)

Developed By: IDX

Completion Date: May 12, 2025

Model Description: Max is a language model fine-tuned from the Gemma 3 1B IT base model, specializing in code generation and comprehension, with a particular focus on the Python programming language. The model has been trained to handle code-related tasks and address technical queries, leveraging the capabilities of the state-of-the-art base model enhanced with specific knowledge acquired during the fine-tuning process on code-centric data.

Architecture: The model is based on the architecture of the Gemma 3 1B model, developed by Google.

Fine-tuning Data: The model was fine-tuned using curated datasets comprising:

1. Data consisting of technical questions and answers, including interactions where users describe technical challenges and others provide assistance or solutions (analogous to technical forums or Q&A platforms).
2. Examples of Python code, structured as input/output pairs. The fine-tuning process was specifically focused on data relevant to Python code generation and technical question answering.

Fine-tuning Process: The fine-tuning procedure was conducted in a Google Colab environment utilizing a single NVIDIA A100 GPU. This process adapted the Gemma 3 1B IT base model to enhance its performance on programming-related tasks and its ability to respond to code-specific inquiries.

Intended Use Cases:

• Generation of Python code snippets or functions based on textual descriptions.
• Answering questions regarding Python syntax, concepts, or common programming issues.
• Assisting in the explanation of Python code blocks.
• Providing support for fundamental Python programming tasks.

Limitations:

• Model performance is contingent upon the quality, diversity, and scope of the fine-tuning datasets.
• Primarily optimized for the Python language; performance on other programming languages may be suboptimal.
• Inherently, as a generative model, it may produce code that is incorrect, inefficient, or contains security vulnerabilities.
• Potential to inherit biases or limitations present in the base Gemma 3 model or the training data.
• The 1B version of Gemma 3 is text-only and not designed for multimodal input.
• Not suitable for deployment in critical applications without rigorous testing and human validation of generated outputs.

Ethical Considerations:

• Potential for generating code containing security flaws if not reviewed and validated by a human expert.
• Risk of propagating biases present in the training data (e.g., in coding styles, problem-solving approaches, etc.).
• The use of data sourced from Q&A forums implies the inclusion of user-generated content, which may contain informal language or unverified information.
• Responsible deployment and continuous human oversight of generated code and responses are strongly advised.

Evaluation: Formal evaluation metrics regarding the performance of the fine-tuned model are not currently available.
