What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the challenge of understanding and implementing large language models (LLMs) with a focus on clean, production-ready code and efficient workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Model Implementations: Access over 20 pre-trained LLM architectures, including Llama, Gemma, Phi, Qwen, and Mistral.
- Fine-Tuning Workflows: Provides clear, step-by-step instructions for fine-tuning models on custom datasets using LoRA and QLoRA techniques.
- Pretraining Workflows: Guides for pretraining new models from scratch on large datasets, with options for multi-GPU training and various model architectures.
- Model Deployment: Offers instructions for converting and deploying models for production use, including API deployment and model quantization for size reduction.
- Use Case: Imagine you need a customized LLM for code generation or translation. This Skill allows you to quickly implement, fine-tune, and deploy a model tailored to your specific needs.
Quick Start
Run the following command to fine-tune the Llama 3 8B model on your custom dataset:
litgpt finetune meta-llama/Llama-3.2-8B --data JSON --data.json_path data/my_dataset.json
