Retail-TW-Qwen3.5-0.8B-Base
Retail-TW-Qwen3.5-0.8B-Base is a continually pre-trained (CPT) checkpoint of Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Base, adapted to Taiwan (Traditional Chinese) retail and e-commerce knowledge.
Note: This is a base checkpoint. It is neither instruction-tuned nor safety-aligned, and it is intended as a foundation for downstream supervised fine-tuning (SFT).
