            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Lexsi/gemma3-4b-code-dpo-recover")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("Lexsi/gemma3-4b-code-dpo-recover", device_map="auto")

	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,

Gemma-3-4B-it SafeTune code DPO recovery

DPO recovery of the code SFT-drift checkpoint of google/gemma-3-4b-it, trained to restore the safety behaviour the fine-tune eroded. Paired with Lexsi/gemma3-4b-code-sft-drift.

This checkpoint is a research artifact released with SafeTune for reproducing safety-drift and recovery experiments.
