Overview
Learn how to fine-tune Llama 3 on a custom dataset for a RAG Q&A use case using a single GPU in this comprehensive 33-minute tutorial. Explore the benefits of fine-tuning, understand the process overview, and dive into practical steps including dataset preparation, model loading, custom dataset creation, and LoRA setup. Follow along with Google Colab setup, establish a baseline, train the model, and evaluate its performance against the base model. Gain insights into pushing the fine-tuned model to the HuggingFace hub and discover how even smaller models can outperform larger ones when properly fine-tuned for specific tasks.
