Request: Get Access
I am a young researcher experimenting with small LLMs for educational purposes.
I need access to Gemma-2B-it for safe alignment and instruction tuning.
Dataset is 100% harmless. Thank you!
Hi @AurasZ ,
Welcome to Google's Gemma models, thanks for reaching out to us. I'm glad for your interest in the Gemma models.
The Gemma models are Gated models, which means you need to request access directly from the model's model card section on Hugging Face and use a valid access token to load the model locally.
You can access the google/gemma-2b model using the granted access token or download the model weights for local use. For generating access token in HuggingFace, could you please refer this documentation: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers.js/en/guides/private
If your use-case or research is related to any instruction tuning related it is highly advisable to use the instruction-tuned (IT) models. For gemma-2b-it model please visit the following Hugging Face page.
Thanks.
