🧠 DeepGemma-2B-Reasoning

DeepGemma-2B-Reasoning is a deeply fine-tuned version of google/gemma-4-E2B-it, optimized for step-by-step reasoning (Chain-of-Thought). Trained via knowledge distillation on datasets generated by Claude Opus, Qwen3.5, and KIMI.

The model generates internal reasoning inside <thought> / <think> tags before answering, significantly improving logical and mathematical response quality.

🛠 Training Details

Training was conducted using Unsloth (QLoRA) on an RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM).

• Method: QLoRA (4-bit quantization, BF16 adapters)
• LoRA Parameters: Rank = 48, Alpha = 48
• Epochs: 2 | Global Steps: 4672 | Learning Rate: 2e-4
• Final Loss: 1.24

🗜️ GGUF Version (llama.cpp)

A quantized Q4_K_M GGUF version is available directly in this repo.

File: gemma4_e2b-q4_k_m.gguf (~4.7 GB) Quantization: llama.cpp Q4_K_M Merge: Full LoRA merge before quantization (Unsloth)

⚡ Performance (RTX 4090, llama.cpp, ngl=999)

Metric	Speed
Prompt processing	~400 tok/s
Generation	~239–262 tok/s
Context	4096 tokens

Usage (llama.cpp)

./llama-cli -m gemma4_e2b-q4_k_m.gguf \
  -p "<start_of_turn>user\nYour question here<end_of_turn>\n<start_of_turn>model\n" \
  -n 512 -ngl 999 -c 4096

💻 Usage (Transformers / Unsloth)

from unsloth import FastVisionModel

model, tokenizer = FastVisionModel.from_pretrained(
    model_name="Zhantas/DeepGemma-2B-Reasoning",
    max_seq_length=2048,
    load_in_4bit=True,
)
FastVisionModel.for_inference(model)

question = "I had 3 apples. I ate one, and then bought as many as I had left. How many apples do I have now? Reason step by step."
prompt = f"<start_of_turn>user\n{question}<end_of_turn>\n<start_of_turn>model\n"

inputs = tokenizer(text=prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024, temperature=0.3, repetition_penalty=1.1)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

⚠️ Limitations

Prone to "overthinking" on simple tasks. Best suited for logic puzzles, coding, and mathematics.
