Gemma 2 Baku 2B Instruct

Baku 2B Instruct adds Google's Gemma instruction chat vector to rinna's Japanese-adapted base, then applies odds-ratio preference optimization.

Merging excludes the embedding layer

The documented formula uses a chat-vector multiplier of 1.0 and omits the embedding layer. The release retains the Gemma 2 instruction tokenizer and conversation format.Gemma 2 Baku 2B Instruct official model card

Distinguish a small assistant from the base checkpoint

Practical guidance. Use the instruction release when evaluating task-following behavior without additional tuning. Compare short outputs and unsupported requests; compact size alone says little about the reliability of an answer.
