FAQPage Schema
How do I fine-tune LLMs using YAML configurations?

Load the Axolotl YAML config to begin a guided fine-tuning workflow for LLMs. This approach structures end-to-end training across 100+ models using LoRA and QLoRA techniques.

Can I use DPO or KTO for RLHF-style training with this setup?

DPO, KTO, ORPO, and GRPO are fully supported for RLHF-style training. The skill provides debugging, optimization, and best practices specifically for these preference alignment methods.

Does this fine-tuning approach support multimodal models?

Multimodal fine-tuning is supported across 100+ models. The skill includes example patterns and reference materials to help configure and debug multimodal training setups.

What is the best way to start a LoRA fine-tuning workflow?

Start LoRA fine-tuning by loading the Axolotl YAML config. This activates comprehensive reference materials and code examples to accelerate implementation and training setup.

Are there reference materials available for debugging LLM training?

A references directory provides comprehensive code examples and materials for debugging LLM training. These resources load during activation to accelerate learning and implementation.
