+When using sequence parallelism, your effective global batch size is **divided** by the `context_parallel_size`. This happens because:

+- Each group of `context_parallel_size` GPUs works on the same batch (just different parts of each sequence)

-# Arctic Long Sequence Training (ALST)
-
-Artic Long Sequence Training (ALST) is a technique for training long context models using a variety of optimization
-techniques. It is a combination of:
-- TiledMLP: Leverage tiling over the sequence dimension on MLP layers to reduce memory usage
-- Tiled Loss: Using optimized loss functions like Liger-Kernel or Cut Cross Entropy to reduce memory usage
-- Activation Offloading: Offload activations to CPU RAM to reduce memory usage
-
-For more information, you can check out the ALST paper [here](https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2506.13996).

-# Finetune Gemma-3n with Axolotl
+# Gemma-3n
 
-Gemma-3n is a family of multimodal models from Google found on [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/gemma-3n-685065323f5984ef315c93f4). This guide shows how to fine-tune it with Axolotl.
+## Requirements
 
-## Getting started
+In addition to Axolotl's requirements, Gemma-3n requires
 
-1. Install Axolotl following the [installation guide](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/installation.html). You need to install from main as Gemma3n is only on nightly or use our latest [Docker images](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/docker.html).
-
-    Here is an example of how to install from main for pip:
-
-```bash
-# Ensure you have Pytorch installed (Pytorch 2.6.0 min recommended)
-git clone https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl.git
-cd axolotl
-
-pip3 install packaging==23.2 setuptools==75.8.0 wheel ninja
-pip3 install --no-build-isolation -e '.[flash-attn]'
+```
+pip3 install timm
 ```
 
-2. In addition to Axolotl's requirements, Gemma-3n requires:
+If you will load audio datasets, please also install
 
-```bash
-pip3 install timm==1.0.17
-
-# for loading audio data
-pip3 install librosa==0.11.0
+```
+pip3 install librosa
 ```
 
-3. Run the finetuning example:
+## Usage
 
-```bash
-# text only
-axolotl train examples/gemma3n/gemma-3n-e2b-qlora.yml
-
-# text + vision
-axolotl train examples/gemma3n/gemma-3n-e2b-vision-qlora.yml
-
-# text + vision + audio
-axolotl train examples/gemma3n/gemma-3n-e2b-vision-audio-qlora.yml
-```
-
-Let us know how it goes. Happy finetuning! 🚀
-
-WARNING: The loss and grad norm will be much higher than normal. We suspect this to be inherent to the model as of the moment. If anyone would like to submit a fix for this, we are happy to take a look.
-
-### TIPS
-
-- You can run a full finetuning by removing the `adapter: qlora` and `load_in_4bit: true` from the config.
-- Read more on how to load your own dataset at [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset_loading.html).
-- The text dataset format follows the OpenAI Messages format as seen [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset-formats/conversation.html#chat_template).
-- The multimodal dataset format follows the OpenAI multi-content Messages format as seen [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/multimodal.html#dataset-format).

 Let us know how it goes. Happy finetuning! 🚀
 
-### Thinking
-
-MistralAI has released their [2507](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Magistral-Small-2507) model with thinking capabilities. The model requires the multi-content dataset format with support for an extra `role: thinking` within system and assistant messages.
-
-Example format:
-
-```json
-{
-    "messages": [
-        {"role": "system", "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "{SYSTEM_PROMPT}"}]},
-        {"role": "user", "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "..."}]},
-        {"role": "assistant", "content": [{ "type": "thinking", "thinking": "..."}, { "type": "text", "text": "..." }]},
-    ],
-}
-```
-
-Example config: `./magistral-small-think-qlora.yaml`.
-
-The `thinking` section also supports an optional arg `closed: bool` (`True` default) which controls adding the closing `[/THINK]` tag.
-
-Limitations:
-- You cannot mix `content: str` with `content: list[dict]` as the `dataset.load_dataset` may complain about different types for `content` key.
-- This mode does not work with custom `train_detail` and `training` at the moment.
-
 ### TIPS
 
-- We recommend adding the same/similar SystemPrompt that the model is tuned for. You can find this within the repo's files titled `SYSTEM_PROMPT.txt`.
 - For inference, the official MistralAI team recommends `top_p: 0.95` and `temperature: 0.7` with `max_tokens: 40960`.
 - You can run a full finetuning by removing the `adapter: qlora` and `load_in_4bit: true` from the config.
 - Read more on how to load your own dataset at [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset_loading.html).
-- The text dataset format follows the OpenAI Messages format as seen [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset-formats/conversation.html#chat_template).
