-# This file is both an integration test that runs once a day on a v4-8 and documentation for how to get started with Gemma3-4b.
+# Validates the Gemma3-4B pre-training pipeline using a pre-converted MaxText checkpoint.
 
-# The flow of this file is as follows:
-# 1. Convert the checkpoint downloaded from Kaggle to make it compatible with MaxText
-# 2. Run decoding, finetuning of Gemma3-4b with the converted checkpoint. Also, run pretraining of Gemma3-4b
-# 3. Convert the scanned checkpoint from step 1 into unscanned checkpoint format and run more efficient decoding.
+# The flow of this script is as follows:
+# 1. Run inference on the pre-converted checkpoint.
+# 2. Run pre-training starting from the pre-converted checkpoint.
+# 3. Run inference on the checkpoint produced by the pre-training run.
+# 4. Convert the checkpoint produced by the pre-training run back to HuggingFace format.
+
+# Usage:
+# export HF_TOKEN=<your Hugging Face access token>
+# export RUN_ID=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M)
+# bash test_gemma3_to_mt.sh $RUN_ID
+# bash test_gemma3.sh $RUN_ID
