Cygnis Alpha 2

Overview

Cygnis-Alpha-2 is a bilingual (French/English) instruction-tuned language model built on Llama 3.1 8B. It was developed by Simonc-44 as part of the CygnisAI sovereign AI initiative, with a design philosophy centered on transparent, structured, and reproducible reasoning.

The model is fine-tuned as a LoRA adapter applied on top of unsloth/meta-llama-3.1-8b-bnb-4bit. It introduces a custom Chain-of-Thought mechanism using structured reasoning tokens and a three-phase response architecture: reflection, demonstration, and conclusion.

Model Architecture

Property	Value
Base model	`unsloth/meta-llama-3.1-8b-bnb-4bit`
Architecture	LlamaForCausalLM
Parameters	8.03B (base) + LoRA adapter
LoRA rank	32
LoRA alpha	64 (typical)
Quantization	4-bit NormalFloat (NF4)
Double quantization	Enabled
Compute dtype	bfloat16
Training framework	Unsloth + TRL SFT
Context length	8,192 tokens

The LoRA adapter targets the attention projection matrices (q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj) and optionally the feed-forward layers, allowing efficient task-specific adaptation without modifying the frozen base model weights.

Response Format

Cygnis-Alpha-2 uses a three-part structured response format to make reasoning explicit and verifiable.

[RÉFLEXION]
Analysis of the problem and identification of the key constraints.

[DÉMONSTRATION]
Step-by-step logical or mathematical development.

[CONCLUSION]
Concise final answer derived from the demonstration.

This format is activated through the system prompt and is consistent across both French and English queries.

Inference Parameters

Parameter	Default	Recommended range	Notes
`temperature`	0.3	0.1 – 0.7	Lower values reinforce structured output compliance
`top_p`	0.9	0.8 – 1.0	Nucleus sampling
`max_new_tokens`	1024	256 – 2048	Chain-of-thought responses are typically longer
`repetition_penalty`	1.15	1.05 – 1.3	Prevents reasoning loop repetition
`do_sample`	True	—	Set to `False` for fully deterministic output

For mathematical proofs and structured arguments, temperature=0.1 with do_sample=False produces the most consistent output.

Hardware Requirements

Setup	Minimum	Recommended
GPU VRAM	8 GB	16 GB
System RAM	12 GB	24 GB
GPU architecture	Ampere (RTX 30xx)	Ampere+

The model loads in 4-bit NF4 quantization, bringing VRAM usage to approximately 6–7 GB for the base model plus adapter. A Tesla T4 (16 GB, Google Colab Free Tier) is the minimum practical GPU for comfortable interactive inference.

Limitations

No built-in moderation. Cygnis-Alpha-2 does not include a content moderation layer. Outputs may reflect biases present in the Llama 3.1 base model or the fine-tuning data. Downstream applications should implement their own safety filters as appropriate.

Structured format is prompt-dependent. The [RÉFLEXION] / [DÉMONSTRATION] / [CONCLUSION] format is activated by the system prompt. Without the correct system prompt, the model behaves as a standard instruction-tuned assistant without explicit reasoning traces.

Knowledge cutoff. Knowledge is bounded by the Llama 3.1 pretraining cutoff. The model has no awareness of events after that date.

Troubleshooting

Reasoning tags do not appear in the output. Verify that your system prompt explicitly names the model as Cygnis-Alpha-2 and instructs it to use the [RÉFLEXION], [DÉMONSTRATION], [CONCLUSION] tags. The format is not automatic — it is elicited by the system prompt.

AttributeError or KeyError: 'shape' during generation. This occurs when token_type_ids is passed to a Llama model. Add inputs.pop("token_type_ids", None) before calling model.generate().

Out-of-memory error on GPU. Ensure gc.collect() and torch.cuda.empty_cache() are called before loading. If the error persists, reduce max_new_tokens or use a GPU with more VRAM. Do not attempt to load both the base model and adapter without 4-bit quantization on a T4.

Performance on English is weaker than French. The fine-tuning dataset is weighted toward French. For English-heavy use cases, consider adjusting the system prompt language or using a later checkpoint.
