+# Finetuning LLMs to output audio
+
+In this example, we finetune Orpcanopylabs/orpheus-tts-0.1-pretrained (a LLaMA 3.2 3b model) to output audio.
+
+The `finetune.yml` withe current settings will run on any Nvidia GPU with 45GB VRAM or more. If you adjust the batch size it can easily run on any GPU under 24GB.
+
+## Dataset pre-processing for pre-training
+If you are adding another voice in English, please jump ahead to finetuning pre-processing.
+
+For this to work, we need to preprocess our dataset. Since we are expecting to output audio, we will need to add tokens to the tokenizer.
+
+Using this code, it will download the SNAC model and add the correct tokens and upload the final dataset.
