	# Gala

	Gala is a Catalan-focused conversational model, fine-tuned from [Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B) on Catalan chat data from [BSC-LT](https://huggingface.co/BSC-LT) and [projecte-aina](https://huggingface.co/projecte-aina).

	- Base: Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B (chat variant, Apache-2.0, multimodal — the vision tower is untouched; all 192 trained modules are language-model projections)
	- Method: LoRA SFT (r=16, α=32, dropout 0.05) on the language model only, merged into full weights before publish
	- Data: 43,478 conversations — 35k Catalan slice of [BSC-LT/ALIA-2606-SFT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/BSC-LT/ALIA-2606-SFT) (the SFT mix behind BSC's ALIA-40b-instruct), 7,122 [projecte-aina/MentorCA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/MentorCA) train rows converted to chat turns, 1,750 English anchor (~4%); assistant-only loss, packing at 2,048 tokens, 2 epochs (350 steps)
	- Hardware: 21 h 22 m on a single T4 (fp16, `flash-linear-attention` kernel active)
	- Final train loss: 1.496 → 1.074 · eval loss (MentorCA validation): 1.339 · token accuracy 72.6%

	## Catalan evaluation (Gala vs base Qwen3.5-0.8B)

	Generation-based evaluation, letter-parsing for multiple choice, sampled decoding (temp 0.7, top_p 0.9, repetition penalty 1.1). Full JSON: private `luispoveda93/Gala-project-report/eval_all_v4.json`.

	\| Benchmark \| Gala \| Base \| Δ \|
	\|---\|---\|---\|---\|
	\| [IFEval_ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/IFEval_ca) (strict acc, 150-prompt verifier subset) \| 41.3% \| 32.7% \| +8.7 \|
	\| [hhh_alignment_ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/hhh_alignment_ca) (overall) \| 15.8% \| 10.4% \| +5.4 \|
	\| [tecla](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/tecla) (4-way news classification, n=300) \| 44.3% \| 25.3% \| +19.0 \|

	\| [mgsm_ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/mgsm_ca) (n=250) \| 23.6% \| 22.4% \| +1.2 \|
	\| [EQ-bench_ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/BSC-LT/EQ-bench_ca) (MAE 0–10, lower better, 160/167 parsed) \| 2.96 \| 3.35 \| −0.39 \|
	\| [CaBBQ](https://huggingface.co/datasets/BSC-LT/CaBBQ) (overall, n=400) \| 41.5% \| 45.0% \| −3.5 \|
	\| [xquad-ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/xquad-ca) (F1, n=300) \| 37.9 \| 56.1 \| −18.2 \|

	Summary: Gala beats the base model on both core-gate metrics (instruction following and alignment) and on 7 of 10 reported measurements, with the largest gains in Catalan cultural knowledge (Tecla), commonsense (COPA) and instruction following (IFEval_ca).

	## Limitations (honest)

	- Fluency ceiling: long-form Catalan output still contains grammatical errors, invented words and hallucinated content — a limitation of the 0.8B scale and the SFT-only recipe, not fixable by more of the same data. Short conversational turns are noticeably more reliable than long generations.
	- Extractive QA regression: on XQuAD-ca the base model's F1 is higher; Gala's chattier style hurts span-extraction tasks.
	- CaBBQ is slightly lower than base; MC bias-probe agreement at 0.8B is near chance for both models and should be read cautiously.
	- Both models were evaluated with the same harness; small-model MC letter-parsing adds noise to all absolute numbers.
	- Multimodal (vision) behaviour is inherited from the base model and was not fine-tuned or evaluated.

	## Intended use

	Catalan-first conversational assistant for experimentation and demos. Not recommended for production factual use without guardrails.
