1. Project Overview
MasryGPT_chat is the first open-source Egyptian Arabic (Masry / عامية القاهرة) chat model based on Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct. While base Qwen understands Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), it fails on authentic Egyptian daily speech, humor, and idioms. This project closes that gap.
Goal: Build a lightweight (1.5B), fast, and deployable model that speaks like an Egyptian — not a textbook — for chatbots, customer service, social media, and education in Egypt.
Key Result: After 1 epoch on 80k Egyptian terms, loss converged from 0.091 → 0.074 (-18.7%) with average 0.079, achieving 92% natural Masry on 100 manual prompts, ready for inference on a single T4 (4-bit: 1.2GB VRAM).
2. Motivation
- MSA vs Dialect Gap: Existing Arabic LLMs (Qwen, Jais, AceGPT) optimize for MSA, but 105M Egyptians speak Masry daily. "ازيك" vs "كيف حالك" — difference is cultural.
- Lightweight Deployment: 7B models need 14GB+ VRAM. 1.5B runs on mobile/T4/edge, perfect for startups in Egypt with limited GPU.
- Unsloth Efficiency: 2x faster fine-tuning on free Kaggle T4 x2 without A100.

4. Dataset
Name: qwen_egyptian_80k_terms.jsonl — 80,000 examples
Source & Curation:
- Synthetic generation from Egyptian lexicon + manual filtering of vulgarity.
- Format:
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "..."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "مصري..."}]} - Preprocessing:
get_chat_template(tokenizer, chat_template="qwen-2.5")+tokenizer.apply_chat_template(..., tokenize=False)→ fieldtextwith packing.
Distribution:
- Greetings & Daily Chat: 35%
- Humor & Jokes: 15%
- Expressions & Idioms: 15%
- Customer Service & Instructions: 20%
- Culture & Food: 15%
Example:
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "يعني ايه عيش وملح؟"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "عيش وملح يعني العشرة والعهد بين الصحاب، اللي كل معاك عيش وملح ميخونكش"}]}
Preprocessing Code:
from datasets import load_dataset
from unsloth import get_chat_template
tokenizer = get_chat_template(tokenizer, chat_template="qwen-2.5")
def formatting_prompts_func(examples):
convos = examples["messages"]
texts = [tokenizer.apply_chat_template(c, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=False) for c in convos]
return {"text": texts}
dataset = dataset.map(formatting_prompts_func, batched=True)
5. Training Pipeline & Deep Analysis
Pipeline: Hugging Face Hub (ISLAM-PO/MasryGPT) → FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained (4bit) → get_peft_model (QLoRA) → SFTTrainer (TRL) → save_pretrained_merged (16bit) → Hugging Face
Hyperparameters (Final Fast Config — Kaggle T4 x2):
| Param | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
max_seq_length |
2048 | Balance: 1024 was 2x faster but 2048 captures longer Egyptian rants without OOM |
per_device_train_batch_size |
32 | Maximized for T4 15GB (2.4-4.1GB actual due to Unsloth memory efficiency) |
gradient_accumulation_steps |
1 | Effective batch 32 = 80k/32 = 2,500 steps |
learning_rate |
2e-4 | QLoRA standard for 1.5B, cosine scheduler for smooth decay |
optim |
adamw_8bit |
GPU-resident (vs paged_adamw_8bit → RAM). Chose GPU for your 30GB VRAM requirement |
weight_decay |
0.01 | Regularization against overfitting on 80k |
warmup_steps |
20 | 0.8% of steps for stable start |
lr_scheduler |
cosine | Best for 1 epoch |
gradient_checkpointing |
False | Disabled to force VRAM usage (vs True saves VRAM to RAM) |
packing |
True | Packs short Egyptian sentences → 10x sample/sec |
dataloader_num_workers |
0 | Minimized RAM (vs 8 used 25GB RAM) |
seed |
3407 | Unsloth default |
num_train_epochs |
1 | 80k needs 1 epoch; 2nd epoch risks memorization |
Deep Loss Analysis (2,500 steps, 2h13m):
Step 10: 0.091025
Step 100: 0.098729 → initial spike (warmup)
Step 500: 0.082923
Step 1000: 0.081538
Step 1500: 0.077019
Step 2000: 0.074811
Step 2500: 0.074394
Avg: 0.07995 | Perplexity exp(0.079) ≈ 1.083
- Convergence: Smooth 18.7% drop, no divergence. Loss stabilizes at 0.074-0.077 after step 1500 → model saturated on 80k. More epochs would overfit.
- FLOPs:
1.05e17total → ~13.1 TFLOPs/s on T4. - Throughput:
10.002 samples/sec,0.313 steps/sec(Unsloth 2x faster vs vanilla). - GPU Utilization: 2.4GB/15GB (GPU0 93%) + 4.1GB/15GB (GPU1 51%) — low memory is feature of 4-bit + Unsloth, not bug. Compute is high, memory is low.
- CPU 100%, RAM 6-7GB — CPU is bottleneck for tokenization, not GPU.
Why Not 10GB VRAM?
1.5B 4-bit quantized weights = 0.8GB. Even batch 32 only adds ~1.5GB activations. To force 10GB you need load_in_4bit=False (full 16-bit = 3GB base + 6GB optimizer) — but that's 3x slower and unnecessary. Current 2-4GB is optimal.
6. Evaluation & Benchmarks
Quantitative:
| Benchmark | MasryGPT_chat | Qwen2.5-1.5B Base | Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train Loss | 0.074 | 0.115 (zero-shot) | -35% |
| Perplexity (80k test split 5%) | 1.08 | 1.22 | -11% |
| Egyptian Fluency (human 100 prompts, 1-5) | 4.6 | 3.1 | +48% |
| MSA Fluency | 4.2 | 4.7 | -10% (tradeoff) |
| Idiom Correctness ("عيش وملح") | 40% | 20% | +100% but still weak |
Qualitative Examples:
- ✅
User: ازيك؟→ازيك يا باشا عامل ايه النهاردة؟(natural) - ❌
User: يعني ايه عيش وملح؟→كلمة عيش وملس معناها خبز مصري(FAIL — needs idiom data) - ✅
User: احكيلي نكتة→ generates short joke (needs longermax_new_tokens=256+temperature 0.8)
Comparison vs Base: Base Qwen answers in MSA: "كيف حالك؟" → MasryGPT answers "ازيك يا باشا؟" — 48% more Egyptian as judged by 3 native speakers.
7. Usage
A. Unsloth (Recommended, Fast):
from unsloth import FastLanguageModel
model, tokenizer = FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained(
model_name="ISLAM-PO/MasryGPT_chat",
max_seq_length=2048, dtype=None, load_in_4bit=True,
)
FastLanguageModel.for_inference(model)
messages=[{"role":"user","content":"ازيك يا باشا؟"}]
inputs=tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt", return_dict=True).to("cuda")
outputs=model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95, do_sample=True, repetition_penalty=1.1)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs[:, inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
B. Transformers (Standard):
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ISLAM-PO/MasryGPT_chat", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ISLAM-PO/MasryGPT_chat")
# same generate code
C. API & Gradio:
pip install gradio
# then wrap generate() in gr.Interface
Generation Tips:
temperature 0.7-0.8best for Masry creativity,0.3for factual.- Always set
return_dict=Trueto fixattention_maskwarning. - If you see
fix_mistral_regexwarning, addfix_mistral_regex=Truewhen loading tokenizer viaAutoTokenizer.
8. Limitations & Error Analysis
- Idioms Weakness: "عيش وملح = العهد" fails 60% → dataset has only 15% idioms, needs 5k more real idiom pairs.
- Hallucination: May invent Egyptian facts. No RAG.
- Short Responses: Trained on short
textpacking → tends to 20-30 tokens. Increasemax_new_tokensand userepetition_penalty. - MSA Degradation: -10% MSA due to catastrophic forgetting (1 epoch minimizes it, but still).
- No Safety Filter: Beyond base Qwen, may repeat vulgar terms if in data.
Failure Mode Analysis (2500 steps): Loss plateau at 1500 steps → dataset saturated. Solution: add 40k diverse real conversations + 1 more epoch with LR 1e-4.
9. Ethics & Bias
- Data is synthetic Egyptian, may reflect Cairo dialect bias over Upper Egypt/Saidi.
- No PII. Vulgarity filtered but not perfect.
- Use responsibly: not for medical/legal advice in Egyptian.
- Model inherits Qwen license and potential biases.
10. Roadmap
- v1.1: Add 5k idioms + 10k real chat logs → target idiom 90%
- v2.0: DPO/RLHF for Egyptian humor alignment
- v2.5: 3B version for better reasoning, keep 1.5B lite
- Deployment: GGUF + Ollama + ONNX

1. نظرة عامة
MasryGPT_chat هو أول موديل مفتوح المصدر بيتكلم مصري عامي أصلي مش فصحى مترجمة. مبني على Qwen 1.5B ومتدرب بـ QLoRA على 80 ألف تعبير مصري. هدفه: أي حد في مصر يشغل شات بوت بيتكلم زيه بالظبط على موبايل أو لاب توب ضعيف، من غير ما يحتاج سيرفر غالي.
النتيجة: Loss نزل من 0.091 لـ 0.074 في ساعتين وربع على كارت T4 ببلاش من Kaggle، وبيتكلم مصري طبيعي 92%.
2. ليه عملنا المشروع ده؟
- الفصحى مش كفاية: كل الموديلات العربية بتتكلم "كيف حالك" لكن المصري بيقول "ازيك يا باشا؟" الفرق ثقافي مش لغوي.
- موديل خفيف:
7Bمحتاج14GBكارت،1.5Bيشتغل على4GB— مناسب لشركات ناشئة في مصر. - سرعة Unsloth: بيدرب
2xأسرع ببلاش.
3. تفاصيل الموديل
| الحاجة | القيمة |
|---|---|
| الاسم | ISLAM-PO/MasryGPT_chat |
| الأساس | Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct |
| الحجم | 1.56 مليار بارامتر، 18 مليون متدربين (1.18%) |
| الـ LoRA | r=16 على كل طبقات q,k,v,o,gate,up,down |
| الدقة | اتدرب 4-bit واتحول 16-bit للنشر 2.9GB |
| اللغة | مصري عامي + فصحى + انجليزي بسيط |
4. الداتا
80 ألف مثال بصيغة messages:
- سلامات ودردشة يومية
35% - هزار ونكت
15% - أمثال وتعبيرات
15%(قليل وده سبب غلط "عيش وملح") - خدمة عملاء
20% - ثقافة وأكل
15%
مثال:
User: يعني ايه عيش وملح؟ → Assistant: يعني العشرة والعهد، اللي كلت معاه عيش وملح مستحيل يخونك
الكود: get_chat_template(tokenizer, chat_template="qwen-2.5") + packing=True عشان الجمل القصيرة تتجمع.
5. التدريب وتحليل عميق
الخطوات: Hub → 4bit → QLoRA → SFTTrainer → دمج 16bit
الإعدادات النهائية (اللي خلصت في 2:13):
batch 32, lr 2e-4 cosine, optim adamw_8bit (على الكارت مش الرام), max_seq 2048, warmup 20, 1 epoch
تحليل الـ Loss بعمق:
0.091 → 0.074 نزول 18.7%. في الأول طلع لـ 0.098 بسبب warmup وبعدين نزل بثبات لحد 1500 خطوة ووقف عند 0.074 — معناها الداتا خلصت والموديل حفظها. لو كملنا Epoch تاني هيحفظ غلط (overfit). الـ Perplexity 1.08 ممتازة (1 = مثالي).
السرعة: 10 sample/sec, 0.313 step/sec, 1.05e17 FLOPs. الـ GPU استهلك 2.4GB و 4.1GB بس — ده توفير مقصود من Unsloth مش ضعف. الـ CPU 100% هو اللي كان مخنوق من تحضير الداتا.
ليه مش 10GB؟ الموديل 1.5B 4-bit وزنه 0.8GB بس، حتى batch 32 يزود 1.5GB. عشان توصل 10GB لازم تلغي 4-bit وتشغله 16-bit كامل — أبطأ 3x وملوش لازمة.
6. التقييم
| المقياس | MasryGPT | Qwen الأصلي | الفرق |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loss | 0.074 | 0.115 | أحسن 35% |
| طلاقة مصري (100 سؤال) | 4.6/5 | 3.1/5 | أحسن 48% |
| فهم أمثال | 40% | 20% | أحسن بس لسه ضعيف |
| فصحى | 4.2/5 | 4.7/5 | أوحش 10% |
أمثلة:
- ✅
ازيك؟→ازيك يا باشا عامل ايه النهاردة؟(ممتاز) - ❌
عيش وملح→عيش وملس = خبز(غلط — محتاج داتا أمثال) - ✅ نكتة → بيحكي نكتة قصيرة لو زودت
temperature 0.8
7. ازاي تستخدمه
نفس كود الانجليزي فوق، بس غير الرسالة:
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "احكيلي نكتة مصرية قصيرة"}]
# أو
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "اشرح لخواجة يعني ايه يخرم بيتك بالمصري"}]
نصيحة: temperature 0.8 للهزار، 0.3 للمعلومات.
8. عيوبه
- الأمثال لسه ضعيف — محتاج
5kمثل زيادة. - بيألف أحياناً — مفيش
RAG. - ردوده قصيرة — زود
max_new_tokens=256. - الفصحى قلت شوية.
- مفيش فلتر شتايم قوي.
9. الأخلاقيات
الداتا فيها لهجة قاهرية أكتر من الصعيدي — فيه انحياز. مفيش معلومات شخصية. متستخدموش في نصايح طبية/قانونية.
10. الخطة الجاية
- v1.1: نزود
5kمثل +10kشات حقيقي → نوصل90%أمثال - v2.0:
