What it does

Fine-tune and deploy LLMs with 20+ pretrained architectures and LoRA support

Best for

Production-grade fine-tuning without abstraction layer overhead; ideal for understanding model internals.

Inputs
  • · pretrained model name
  • · custom dataset (Alpaca JSON)
  • · training hyperparameters
Outputs
  • · fine-tuned weights
  • · merged LoRA adapters
  • · training logs
Requires
  • · litgpt
  • · torch
  • · transformers
  • · Lightning AI
Preconditions
  • · PyTorch 2.0+
  • · GPU memory for batch size
  • · dataset in supported format
Failure modes
  • · CUDA OOM if batch_size not reduced
  • · binary wheel unavailable → source build slow
Trust signals
  • · 20+ production architectures (Llama, Gemma, Phi, Mistral)
  • · LoRA memory efficiency proven
  • · Karpathy-quality code readability
