qwen3-vl-8b-hebrew-v20a-merged

by Isaac Godfried isaacmg/qwen3-vl-8b-hebrew-v20a-merged

qwen3-vl-8b-hebrew-v20a-merged is an open-weight model for image and text to text from Isaac Godfried, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 8.8B parameters and a 262,144-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 21 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 29 downloads a month.

Merged bf16 weights of the v2.0a checkpoint (v20a-ckpt, step 1800, commit af9df6a0): the LoRA adapters (language layers r16, vision tower) folded into Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct. Ready for transformers, vLLM, or conversion.

Qwen3-VL-8B Hebrew v2.0a — merged weights (step 1800)

Cairo Genizah AI Transcription — formal analysis and write-up of the project The full account of the methods, training data, benchmarks and error analysis behind the Cairo Genizah AI transcription models. Search the transcribed corpus at Cairo Genizah AI.

Merged bf16 weights of the v2.0a checkpoint (v20a-ckpt, step 1800, commit af9df6a0): the LoRA adapters (language layers r16, vision tower) folded into Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct. Ready for transformers, vLLM, or conversion. The image processor ships the model's resolution contract (min_pixels=6_500_000, max_pixels=7_000_000): send the largest image you have and let the processor resize it.

Status: current best of the series on both transcription benchmarks (Sep 2026) and the first checkpoint with text grounding. Serving demo: the Genizah Reader Space.

This is a historical merged export, NOT the current flagship. The flagship is v1.9a — adapter + merge instructions at qwen3-vl-8b-hebrew-v19a-ckpt. Full 16-bit merge of v1.5, the Rashi-script generation: pure Rashi glyph perception proven (CER 0.018 on unmemorizable synthetic text), crop-level Vilna gemara solved (CER 0.019), Talmud page-level gemara CER 0.059. Trained at a 3.2 MP resolution floor — use that policy at inference. Vision tower unadapted. Superseded by v1.6+ on print and v1.9a on manuscripts. One line per generation — which checkpoint to use and which are historical: \\ CER over substantive attempts only, alignment-based scorer. Benchmarks differ across generations (Talmud…
