BashGemma

BashGemma translates natural language queries into structured JSON tool calls representing bash commands. It achieves 57.4% NLC2CMD accuracy on NL2Bash test data—a 52.9 percentage point improvement over the base FunctionGemma model.

Transit Inequality in the Denver Metro Area

We measured how many jobs Denver residents can reach by bus and rail — and whether the people who depend most on transit actually get the best service. Across 657 census tracts, the answer is largely yes, but the overall picture is still deeply unequal.

BashGemma: Fine-tuning a 270M Parameter Model for Natural Language to Bash Translation

Can a 540MB model — small enough to run on a laptop without internet — reliably translate plain English into bash commands? We fine-tuned Google's smallest open model on 9,000 examples and got from 4.5% to 57.4% accuracy. The trick was in how we trained it, not just what we trained it on.

Attention Alignment Outperforms Logit Distillation for LLM Compression

When compressing a large language model into a smaller one, should you just teach the small model to match the large model's outputs — or also show it what the large model is paying attention to? We ran the comparison systematically and found that attention maps transfer surprisingly well, cutting error rates by 26%. But combining attention with other internal signals adds nothing.
