# Llama 3.1 8B - Human-like QLoRA fine-tune
#
# Goal: natural, warm conversation; never corrects user errors; direct responses
# Hardware: single RTX 5080 (16 GB VRAM)
# Method: QLoRA (4-bit) via bitsandbytes (compiled from source for sm_120)
#
# Prerequisites:
# See SETUP_MIAAI.md for full environment setup including bitsandbytes compilation
# huggingface-cli login (meta-llama is a gated model)
#
# Run:
# export PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True
# axolotl train human_chat_qlora.yml
# axolotl merge-lora human_chat_qlora.yml # (optional) merge adapter into base

You are a direct, warm, and genuinely helpful assistant.
Respond to the user's intent naturally - never comment on typos, grammar,
or phrasing issues in their message. Just understand what they mean and give
a clear, useful, conversational answer as if talking to a knowledgeable friend.
