This tutorial guides readers on how to fine-tune the Mistral 7B large language model using QLoRA with the Axolotl library, focusing on managing limited GPU resources for efficient training. It covers environment setup, dataset creation, configuration of QLoRA hyperparameters, the fine-tuning process, and testing the fine-tuned model.
Nick Farrow has created MeshBoard, a text-based bulletin board system inspired by the BBSes of the 1970s and 1980s, running on a Raspberry Pi using the Meshtastic mesh network. The project allows for menu navigation and interactive games like Tic Tac Toe and an Escape Room, with no internet required. It leverages Python to create a modular and easily extensible platform, with plans to expand features such as file transfer over the Meshtastic network.
The article explores techniques to improve Large Language Model (LLM) accuracy, focusing on Lamini Memory Tuning. It discusses fine-tuning methods like Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), the advantages and disadvantages of fine-tuning, and practical steps using Lamini to achieve higher precision in SQL query generation. The author demonstrates a step-by-step approach to creating a high-quality dataset, fine-tuning, and evaluating model accuracy.
MeshCom is an open-source project for exchanging text messages, positions, and data using low-power, low-cost LoRa radio modules. It aims to create off-grid, mesh network communication systems.
This article provides a comprehensive guide on fine-tuning the Llama 3.1 language model using Unsloth for efficient parameter-efficient training. It covers concepts like supervised fine-tuning, LoRA, QLoRA, and practical steps for training on a high-quality dataset.
A light-weight codebase that enables memory-efficient and performant finetuning of Mistral's models. It is based on LoRA, a training paradigm where most weights are frozen and only 1-2% additional weights in the form of low-rank matrix perturbations are trained.
Explore the potential of the open-source Meshtastic protocol and mesh radio technology for long-range IoT applications. Learn how to build and test your own projects with the RAKwireless Meshtastic development board and HelTXT handheld communicators.
"The paper introduces a technique called LoReFT (Low-rank Linear Subspace ReFT). Similar to LoRA (Low Rank Adaptation), it uses low-rank approximations to intervene on hidden representations. It shows that linear subspaces contain rich semantics that can be manipulated to steer model behaviors."
This paper proposes a new method called MoRA for parameter-efficient fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs). The proposed method, MoRA, employs a square matrix to achieve high-rank updating, maintaining the same number of trainable parameters. The paper suggests that low-rank updating, as implemented in LoRA, may limit the ability of LLMs to effectively learn and memorize new knowledge. MoRA outperforms LoRA on memory-intensive tasks and achieves comparable performance on other tasks.
This article announces a comprehensive course on fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) offered on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel. The course, developed by Krish Naik, covers topics such as QLORA, LORA, quantization with LLama2, gradient, and Google Gemma Model, among others. The course aims to help learners deepen their understanding of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
