Watch-outs
No watch-outs from GStars' checks.
General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
We provide two libraries for the broader community to customize their language models:
tinkerandtinker-cookbook.Refer to the docs to start from basics. Here we introduce a few Tinker primitives - the basic components to fine-tune LLMs:
See tinker_cookbook/recipes/sl_loop.py and tinker_cookbook/recipes/rl_loop.py for minimal examples of using these primitives to fine-tune LLMs.
