Granite-4.1-8B-Function-Calling-xLAM-Unsloth-GGUF

GGUF quantizations of a LoRA fine-tune of ibm-granite/granite-4.1-8b, supervised fine-tuned on Salesforce/xlam-function-calling-60k.

Quantized from ermiaazarkhalili/Granite-4.1-8B-Function-Calling-xLAM-Unsloth. See that repository for the full-precision weights.

Observed training loss

Measured from our SLURM logs for this configuration. These are training-loss

observations only — no downstream benchmark evaluation has been run on this

model, so they should not be read as a quality claim.

| SLURM job | Steps | First loss | Final loss |

| 38330899 | 7,500 | 0.6916 | 0.1309 |

Limitations

• No benchmark evaluation has been run on this checkpoint. The only reported

numbers are training-loss observations.

• Inherits the biases, knowledge cutoff and failure modes of the base model.
• Fine-tuned on a single instruction-following dataset; behaviour outside that

distribution is untested.

• LoRA adapters were merged into the base weights, so the merged model cannot

be detached from this fine-tune.

Reproducing

Trained by notebooks/xlam_function_calling_granite4.1-8b_unsloth.ipynb, executed non-interactively with

papermill on a SLURM H100 partition (Unsloth + TRL, LoRA).
