What hardware is required to run shukatsu-gemma4?

It can run locally on PCs or servers equipped with GPUs using tools like Ollama or LM Studio. Most workstations designed for generative AI are suitable for testing.

Is it true that it can be used without sending university personal data?

Yes. Since it is designed for on-premises use, it works entirely within your internal environment without sending any data to external servers over the internet.

Is there a fee to use this model?

It is available on Hugging Face and can be accessed for free upon agreeing to the terms. However, custom development and full-scale deployment support are provided as paid consulting services.

Careerbot Co., Ltd. has developed and released 'shukatsu-gemma4,' an LLM specialized for job-hunting support based on Google's Gemma 4. Designed for on-premises operation, it protects sensitive student data while providing high-quality resume editing and dialogue based on 10,000 consultation records.

Background: Challenges Unique to Educational Settings

While various generative AI models are being developed, university career centers face two major challenges:

1. **Security Risks:** Concerns over sending sensitive student personal information to external clouds. 2. **Communication Quality Barrier:** General-purpose AI often fails to reproduce the complex context of new graduate recruitment and the empathetic tone required of advisors.

Technical Features and Evaluation: Balancing Local Operation with Practical Quality

This model was trained exclusively on high-quality dialogues selected from over 10,000 job consultation records. It achieves structured Entry Sheet (ES) editing and 'empathetic dialogue' that aligns with actual practice. In comparative evaluations with major LLMs, while it may defer to large-scale cloud AI in terms of total knowledge, it has been confirmed to perform at an equivalent level in terms of 'ES editing quality' and 'dialogue tone.' It is a practical model ready for immediate use in local environments that protect confidential information.

Release on Hugging Face to Aim for Co-creation among Academia, Industry, and Government

To raise the standard of Japan's job-hunting support infrastructure and accelerate 'co-creation' among academia, industry, and government, we are releasing this model on Hugging Face.

* **Repository Name:** careerbot/shukatsu-gemma4 * **Ease of Implementation:** We adopted 'Gated Access,' which allows immediate access simply by agreeing to the terms of use. By utilizing tools such as Ollama and LM Studio, it is possible to verify and implement high-precision job-hunting support AI in a local environment.

*Note: This model is a fine-tuned version of Google's Gemma 4 and is not an official Google product.*

Exhibition at 'GENIAC' Hosted by METI and NEDO

This model will be demonstrated at the 'GENIAC' achievement announcement caravan, a generative AI project led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and NEDO. You can experience the actual operating speed and quality of answers.

* **Fukuoka Venue:** April 8, 2026 (Wed) 13:00-16:00 @ RESOLA Hall (Directly connected to Tenjin Station) * **Tokyo Venue:** April 14, 2026 (Tue) 13:00-17:00 @ Shibuya Stream Hall (Directly connected to Shibuya Station) * **Details:** https://geniac-prize.nedo.go.jp/#outreachEvent

Future Outlook: Social Implementation of Secure AI and Innovation

We have been working on PoCs and practical AI support at universities. Moving forward, we aim for a society where universities and governments can 'use AI with peace of mind.' We will promote innovation through the social implementation of this model. We will provide new value to the domestic and international career support field by helping build personalized AI incorporating data from each university and developing next-generation services combined with XR fields such as smart glasses.
