🎯 Overview

Bro is a LLM fine-tuned variant of the gemma-3-1b-it transformer model, optimized for enhanced contextual comprehension, instruction following, and domain-specific reasoning. The fine-tuning process used supervised instruction tuning across multiple NLP domains, with a focus on factual recall, multi-step reasoning, and document comprehension.

• Built on the lightweight yet powerful Gemma 3 1B architecture, Bro provides a balance between inference speed and linguistic depth — making it suitable for both production deployment and academic research.

⚙️ Vectorized Datasets

Vectorization is the process of converting textual data into numerical vectors and is a process that is usually applied once the text is cleaned. It can help improve the execution speed and reduce the training time of your code. BudgetPy provides the following vector stores on the OpenAI platform to support environmental data analysis with machine-learning

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("your-org/Bro")

prompt = "Explain the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning:"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=150)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

🖥️ LM Studio (GGUF workflow)

If you export Bro to GGUF, you can run it in LM Studio. One typical workflow is:

1) Convert HF → GGUF with llama.cpp’s conversion script (example; confirm flags for Gemma 3):
   • git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
   • cd llama.cpp
   • python3 convert-hf-to-gguf.py /path/to/your/Bro-hf-dir --outfile Bro-f32.gguf
2) Quantize to Q4_K_M (or similar) for local inference:
   • ./quantize Bro-f32.gguf Bro.Q4_K_M.gguf Q4_K_M
3) Open LM Studio → Local Models → Import → select Bro.Q4_K_M.gguf
4) In the chat pane, set conservative parameters:
   • Temperature: 0.5–0.7
   • Max new tokens: 128–384
   • (If available) repeat penalty ~1.05–1.15
5) Prompt example:
   "Summarize the attached clinical guidance in 6 bullets. Include contraindications and monitoring."

Notes

• Exact conversion flags can differ by model family; verify Gemma-3 options in your llama.cpp version.
• If you distribute only HF weights, consider LM Studio’s server/backends that accept HF models.

🧠 Prompt Patterns (Contextual + Domain)

Context-grounded Q&A

System: You answer strictly using the provided context. If missing, say "I don't know."
User: Use the context to answer. Keep to 5 bullets.
Context:
• <chunk 1 [source/citation]>
• <chunk 2 [source/citation]>
Question: <domain question here>

Constrained JSON

System: Output only valid JSON. No explanation.
User: Return {"summary":"", "risks":[""], "actions":[""], "open_questions":[""]} for the content.

Evaluation rubric (short)

In 6 bullets, define a rubric to judge contextual comprehension on domain X.
Use criteria: correctness, citation use, scope, clarity, uncertainty handling, follow-up.

📝 Prompting Engineering

No special chat template is strictly required. Use clear instructions and keep prompts concise. For multi-turn workflows, persist conversation state externally or via your app’s memory/RAG layer.

Example system style

You are a concise, accurate assistant. Prefer step-by-step reasoning only when needed.
Cite assumptions and ask for missing constraints.

• Guro is a prompt library designed to supercharge AI agents and assistants with task-specific personas -ie, total randos.
• From academic writing to financial analysis, technical support, SEO, and beyond
• Guro provides precision-crafted prompt templates ready to drop into your LLM workflows.

📚 Basic RAG

# Retrieve k chunks
chunks = retriever.search("billing code coverage for outpatient procedures", k=5)

# Build prompt
context = "\n".join([f"• {c.text} [{c.source}]" for c in chunks])
prompt = f"""
You are a helpful domain assistant. Answer only from the context.
Context:
{context}

Question:
What are the coverage criteria and documentation requirements?
"""

# Generate (Transformers / vLLM / TGI)
inputs = tok(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=220, temperature=0.5, top_p=0.9)
print(tok.decode(out[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

📁 1. Document Ingestion

from langchain.document_loaders import TextLoader
from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter

loader = TextLoader("reference_material.txt")
documents = loader.load()

splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=500, chunk_overlap=100)
docs = splitter.split_documents(documents)

---

🔍 2. Embedding & Vector Indexing

from langchain.embeddings import HuggingFaceEmbeddings
from langchain.vectorstores import FAISS

embedding = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name="all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(docs, embedding)

---

🔄 3. Retrieval + Prompt Formatting

retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k": 4})
retrieved_docs = retriever.get_relevant_documents("How does RAG improve factual accuracy?")

context = "\n\n".join([doc.page_content for doc in retrieved_docs])

prompt = f"""
You are Bro, a domain-aware assistant. Use the retrieved context below to answer accurately:

<context>
{context}
</context>

<question>
How does RAG improve factual accuracy?
</question>
"""

---

🧠 4. LLM Inference with Bro

./main -m Bro.Q4_K_M.gguf -p "$prompt" -n 512 -t 8 -c 2048 --color

The output will be Bro's grounded and concise answer, using the embedded context to avoid hallucinations.

---

📝 Notes

• Bro (gemma-3-1b-it variant) runs efficiently on CPU or with GPU offload via llama.cpp.
• All context is explicitly retrieved; no external APIs are involved.
• You can improve results by tuning chunk size, overlap, or using a domain-specific embedding model.

---

⚙️ Parameter Tips

• Temperature: 0.5–0.8 (lower for deterministic policy/summary tasks)
• Top-p: 0.8–0.95 (tune one knob at a time)
• Max new tokens: 128–384 for chat; longer for drafts
• Repeat penalty: 1.05–1.2 if repetition occurs
• Context length: set to your Bro build; compress with selective retrieval

---

🛟 Troubleshooting

• CUDA OOM:
  Lower max_new_tokens; use 4-bit; reduce context; shard across GPUs.
• Messy JSON:
  Use a JSON-only system prompt; set temperature ≤0.6; include a minimal schema.
• Weak domain grounding:
  Improve retrieval quality; add citations; constrain scope in the prompt.
• Inconsistent style:
  Provide one/two-shot examples; pin a style guide in the system message.
