Google Ads Developer BlogHow the community trained Gemma to "Think" with Tunix and TPUsgoogleblog.comThe Google Tunix Hackathon on Kaggle challenged developers to transform small, non-reasoning base models into general reasoning engines using Kaggle TPUs and a limited compute budget. The winning teams achieved this by implementing multi-stage post-training pipelines that combined Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with advanced alignment techniques like GRPO and SimPO. Ultimately, the competition democratized AI development by proving that highly capable, structured reasoning models can be successfully trained by the community using accessible, open-source resources.
