Urdu LLM Fine-Tuning

A Qwen 2.5 7B Instruct model fine-tuned with QLoRA to speak natural Urdu: Urdu script, Roman Urdu, and Urdu/English code-mixing. The current version reaches a 79.5% pairwise win rate over the base model across two independent LLM judges on a 100-prompt evaluation set, recovers every regression its predecessor introduced, and adds RAG-aware training that makes retrieval safe on factual queries. Validated with a multi-judge harness (including a free Claude-Code-CLI judge) and shipped as a live Gradio + Modal demo. A first end-to-end fine-tune, built in public for about $60.

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tayyab Manan available for AI/ML work?

Yes. I’m open to full-time AI/ML engineering roles and some freelance work, and I reply to messages within 24 hours. I work remotely from Islamabad, Pakistan (UTC+5).

What does Tayyab Manan specialize in?

Production machine learning, computer vision, multi-agent AI systems, and geospatial AI. I build models end to end, from training in PyTorch and TensorFlow to deploying them behind Flask or FastAPI APIs.

What tech stack does he use?

PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Scikit-learn for ML. LangChain, AutoGen, and CrewAI for multi-agent systems. React, Next.js, and Flask or FastAPI to ship the app around them.

Are the portfolio projects actually deployed?

Yes. Every project has a live demo (on Hugging Face Spaces, Vercel, or Netlify) and a public GitHub repo. WaterTrace predicts groundwater at R²=0.89, and my Urdu LLM fine-tune wins 79.5% of blind comparisons against the base model.

How can I get in touch?

Use the contact page or email me directly. I usually reply within 24 hours, and I’m happy to talk about roles, collaborations, or project ideas.

Interested in collaborating?

I build production ML systems and I'm looking for the right team to do it with. Happy to talk about roles, projects, or just trade notes on AI.
