Training Details
The model was fine-tuned using QLoRA, processing over 26.4 million tokens across one epoch. The training demonstrated a healthy learning curve with no overfitting, maintaining a validation loss that closely tracked the training loss. Average token accuracy during training exceeded 70%. The process utilized bfloat16 precision and memory optimization techniques like gradient accumulation and checkpointing to keep VRAM consumption under 8 GB.
