Development Pipeline

Continued Pretraining (CPT)

The base checkpoint google/gemma-3-12b-pt was further pretrained on domain-relevant corpora to strengthen native Traditional Chinese understanding and regional linguistic alignment.
This stage improved semantic fluency, contextual robustness, and vocabulary calibration for Taiwan-centric and enterprise communication scenarios.

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)

Following CPT, the model underwent supervised fine-tuning on curated instruction datasets to enhance:

• Instruction adherence and response relevance
• Task generalization across enterprise workflows
• Output consistency and structural reliability
• Safety alignment for production deployment
