Gemma-Kimu-9b-it is a 9 billion parameter instruction-tuned large language model developed by orai-nlp, built upon Google's Gemma-2-9b foundational and instruct models. It is specifically tailored for the Basque language, leveraging continual pre-training on Basque data combined with English replay to enhance linguistic capacity and instruction-following. This model demonstrates notable improvements in Basque instruction following, safety, and linguistic correctness compared to its base Gemma-2-9b-it counterpart.
