👋 Why This Matters:
Imagine having a mini AI assistant, trained on your data, running right on your computer! 🤯 No more relying on expensive cloud services or sharing your precious data. This is the power of fine-tuning Llama 3.2 and running it locally with Ollama.
🧠 Understanding Llama 3.2:
Think of Llama 3.2 as a family of AI models. You’ve got lightweight members (1 & 3 billion parameters) perfect for personal use, and heavy lifters (11 & 90 billion parameters) ready for complex tasks. We’ll focus on fine-tuning the 3 billion parameter model—a great balance between power and efficiency.
🏋️♀️ Fine-Tuning with Unsloth:
Unsloth is our training gym for Llama 3.2. Here’s our workout plan:
- Dataset: We’ll use the “FineTome-100k” dataset, packed with conversational examples, to teach our model how humans chat.
- LoRA Adapters: Instead of retraining the entire model, we’ll add small “LoRA adapter” modules. It’s like giving our AI a memory boost without a full brain transplant!
- Prompt Engineering: Just like teaching a dog tricks with specific commands, we’ll format our data to match Llama’s language. 🐶
🏃♂️ Running Locally with Ollama:
Ollama is our AI launchpad! 🚀 It takes our fine-tuned model and makes it usable on our own machine. We’ll create a “model file” – like instructions for Ollama—and then… launch!
