Performing "Model Surgery" on Gemma
Desperate-Sir-5088 · reddit · 2026-07-17
Using exaggerated metaphors like "excavating corpses," "filling bellies," and "neurosurgery," this post describes the modification of a Gemma model. The goal is to assemble a new 22B-A17B variant, sizing it between 26B and 31B.
The author's tone is highly playful: "praying" for the model to successfully "differentiate" while joking that adjusting layer connections in FABLE feels like performing brain surgery. Overall, it's a highly dark-humored post about model hacking.
