Practical overview
When it fits
Use Ellora when you want notebook-based examples of LoRA adaptation methods and a starting point for comparing recipes across model tasks.
Who it is for
- LLM practitioners exploring reproducible LoRA fine-tuning methods.
- Developers comparing model-adaptation recipes for reasoning, coding or longer-context tasks.
Documented uses
- Find a recipe for adapting an LLM to a specific capability or task.
- Study methods that generate training or preference data without external datasets.
- Load example LoRA adapters alongside base models using Transformers and PEFT.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies its license as Apache-2.0.
- The repository provides recipes and notebooks, not a standalone training or serving framework.
- Recipes target different goals and use different methods, including self-distillation, GRPO and execution feedback.
- README examples use Transformers and PEFT to load base models and adapters; the stated results are project-reported outcomes for particular examples.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Load Ellora’s reasoning LoRA adapter for generation
Load the Gemma-3-1B base model and Ellora reasoning adapter, then generate a response using a structured-thinking prompt.
Before you start
- Python environment with Transformers and PEFT available.
- Access to the
google/gemma-3-1b-itbase model andcodelion/gemma-3-1b-it-reasoning-grpo-loraadapter.
Steps
Load
google/gemma-3-1b-itwithAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrainedand load its tokenizer withAutoTokenizer.from_pretrained.Attach the reasoning adapter using
PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "codelion/gemma-3-1b-it-reasoning-grpo-lora").Tokenize a prompt asking the model to think step by step and use `` tags.
Generate a response with
model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512, temperature=0.2)and decode it withtokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True).
Expected outcome
A generated response from the base model with the reasoning adapter attached; the README describes the adapter as teaching structured thinking with `` tags.
Guide limitations
- The README’s reported results are repository claims, not independently verified here.
- The example demonstrates generation for one prompt and does not document additional setup or troubleshooting.
