# Finetune Devstral with Axolotl
|
|
|
|
Devstral Small is a 24B parameter opensource model from MistralAI found on HuggingFace [Devstral-Small-2505](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Devstral-Small-2505) and [Devstral-Small-2507](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Devstral-Small-2507). `Devstral-Small-2507` is the latest version of the model and has [function calling](https://mistralai.github.io/mistral-common/usage/tools/) support.
|
|
|
|
This guide shows how to fine-tune it with Axolotl with multi-turn conversations with proper masking.
|
|
|
|
The model was fine-tuned ontop of [Mistral-Small-3.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Base-2503) without the vision layer and has a context of up to 128k tokens.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to the team at MistralAI for giving us early access to prepare for this release.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. Install Axolotl following the [installation guide](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/installation.html).
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to install from pip:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Ensure you have Pytorch installed (Pytorch 2.6.0 min)
|
|
uv pip install --no-build-isolation 'axolotl[flash-attn]>=0.12.0'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Install [Cut Cross Entropy](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/custom_integrations.html#cut-cross-entropy) to reduce training VRAM usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/cutcrossentropy_install.py | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Run the finetuning example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
axolotl train examples/devstral/devstral-small-qlora.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This config uses about 21GB VRAM.
|
|
|
|
Let us know how it goes. Happy finetuning! 🚀
|
|
|
|
### TIPS
|
|
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- Learn how to use function calling with Axolotl at [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset-formats/conversation.html#using-tool-use).

## Optimization Guides
|
|
|
|
- [Multi-GPU Training](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/multi-gpu.html)
|
|
- [Multi-Node Training](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/multi-node.html)
|
|
- [LoRA Optimizations](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/lora_optims.html)
|
|
- [Cut Cross Entropy](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/custom_integrations.html#cut-cross-entropy)
|
|
- [Liger Kernel](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/custom_integrations.html#liger-kernels)
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
We only support the `mistral-common` tokenizer for Supervised Fine-tuning at the moment and for `type: chat_template` only.
|
|
|
|
In addition, we do not support overriding tokens yet.

## Future Work
|
|
|
|
- Add parity to Preference Tuning, RL, Multi-modal, etc.
|
|
- Add parity to other tokenizer configs like overriding tokens.
