Supported models
Which base models the Arkor backend accepts today, why the list is short, and where it's headed.
Today Studio's Playground (base-model mode) and Arkor's hosted inference serve exactly one base model: gemma-4-E4B-it. The model field of createTrainer itself accepts any model identifier the training backend can load; the starter templates target Gemma 4, which is also the base model hosted inference serves today. Below: what that value gets you and what's next.
What you can pick today
gemma-4-E4B-it is the Gemma 4 instruction-tuned build, packaged by Unsloth for fast LoRA / QLoRA fine-tuning. Every starter template (triage, translate, redaction) targets it by default.
import { createTrainer } from "arkor";
export const trainer = createTrainer({
name: "support-bot-v1",
model: "unsloth/gemma-4-E4B-it",
dataset: { type: "huggingface", name: "arkorlab/triage-demo" },
});What's coming
Open the model field to the full Gemma 4 family so you can pick the variant that matches your use case (size, capability, latency, quality).
Expanding to additional open-weight families is on the Roadmap backlog.
