# Finetune ArceeAI's AFM with Axolotl
|
|
|
|
[Arcee Foundation Models (AFM)](https://huggingface.co/collections/arcee-ai/afm-45b-68823397c351603014963473) are a family of 4.5B parameter open weight models trained by Arcee.ai.
|
|
|
|
This guide shows how to fine-tune it with Axolotl with multi-turn conversations and proper masking.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to the team at Arcee.ai for using Axolotl in supervised fine-tuning the AFM model.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. Install Axolotl following the [installation guide](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/installation.html). You need to install from main as AFM is only on nightly or use our latest [Docker images](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/docker.html).
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to install from main for pip:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Ensure you have Pytorch installed (Pytorch 2.6.0 min)
|
|
git clone https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl.git
|
|
cd axolotl
|
|
|
|
pip3 install packaging==26.0 setuptools==75.8.0 wheel ninja
|
|
pip3 install --no-build-isolation -e '.[flash-attn]'
|
|
|
|
# Install CCE https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/custom_integrations.html#cut-cross-entropy
|
|
python scripts/cutcrossentropy_install.py | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Run the finetuning example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
axolotl train examples/arcee/afm-4.5b-qlora.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This config uses about 7.8GiB VRAM.
|
|
|
|
Let us know how it goes. Happy finetuning! 🚀

|
|
|
### TIPS
|
|
|
|
- For inference, the official Arcee.ai team recommends `top_p: 0.95`, `temperature: 0.5`, `top_k: 50`, and `repeat_penalty: 1.1`.
|
|
- You can run a full finetuning by removing the `adapter: qlora` and `load_in_4bit: true` from the config.
|
|
- Read more on how to load your own dataset at [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset_loading.html).
|
|
- The dataset format follows the OpenAI Messages format as seen [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset-formats/conversation.html#chat_template).
