+- Using JSONL makes it easier to subset the data if you want a smaller training set, i.e get 2000 random examples.

+- Create a new or update the existing YAML config (config/pythia_1_2B_alpaca.yml)[config/pythia_1_2B_alpaca.yml]
+- Install python dependencies `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
+- Train! `python3 scripts/finetune.py`, make sure to choose the correct YAML config file
