# RustBustersHSV-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-LoRA

This model is a fine-tuned version of [meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct) optimized for laser cleaning customer service interactions. It was developed for RustBustersHSV, a laser cleaning and resurfacing company in Huntsville, Alabama.

## Model Details

- **Model type**: Fine-tuned Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct with LoRA
- **Language(s)**: English
- **License**: [Llama 3 Community License](https://llama.meta.com/llama3/license/)
- **Finetuning approach**: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA)

## Intended Uses & Limitations

### Intended Uses

This model is designed to:

- Answer customer inquiries about laser cleaning services
- Provide detailed information about RustBustersHSV's services
- Help customers understand the laser cleaning process
- Address common concerns and objections
- Guide customers toward requesting a free quote

### Limitations

This model:

- Is not designed to provide specific pricing information
- Should not be used for non-laser cleaning domains without further adaptation
- Is limited to English language responses
- May not have expertise in very technical aspects beyond its training data
- Should be monitored when deployed in a customer-facing environment

## Training Procedure

### Training Data

The model was fine-tuned on 3,000 synthetic QA pairs categorized into:

- General inquiries about laser cleaning
- Service-specific questions
- Logistics and location information
- Process details
- Concerns and objections
- Customer experience
- Technical aspects

All QA pairs were generated using templates and variations designed to mimic real customer service interactions for a laser cleaning business.

### Training Hyperparameters

- **LoRA Configuration**:
  - r: 8
  - lora_alpha: 16
  - lora_dropout: 0.1
  - bias: "none"
  - target_modules: ["q_proj", "v_proj"]
  - task_type: "CAUSAL_LM"

- **Training Hyperparameters**:
  - Batch size: 1
  - Learning rate: 2e-5
  - Optimizer: AdamW
  - Sequence length: 128
  - Epochs: 3
  - Warmup ratio: 0.1
  - Early stopping patience: 3

### Framework Versions

- Transformers 4.38.0+
- PyTorch 2.0+
- PEFT for LoRA fine-tuning

## Uses

This model is intended to be used as a customer service assistant for a laser cleaning business. It can be integrated into:

- Live chat on a company website
- Customer inquiry response systems
- Internal knowledge base for employees
- Training materials for new customer service representatives

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model is specialized for laser cleaning customer service and may:

- Emphasize the benefits of laser cleaning over alternative methods
- Always attempt to guide customers toward requesting quotes
- Have limited knowledge outside the laser cleaning domain
- Not understand or respond accurately to highly technical queries outside its training

## Training Performance

The model was trained using the AdamW optimizer with a linear learning rate scheduler and warmup. Early stopping was used to prevent overfitting.

## Environmental Impact

- The model was fine-tuned using parameter-efficient LoRA techniques to minimize computational resources
- Training was performed on TPU to maximize efficiency

## How to Use

You can use this model with the Transformers pipeline:

```python
from peft import PeftModel, PeftConfig
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# Load base model
model_name = "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Load adapter
adapter_path = "RustBustersHSV/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-RustBusters"
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter_path)

# Format your prompt appropriately
system_prompt = """You are Lloyd, the first point of contact for customers of Rustbusters. Please be warm and friendly and offer actionable information. Rustbusters is a laser cleaning company that specializes in removing rust, paint, and other contaminants using advanced laser technology. Our services include industrial cleaning, restoration, paint removal, and surface preparation."""
user_prompt = "What is laser cleaning and how does it work?"

prompt = f"<|im_start|>system\n{system_prompt}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n{user_prompt}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n"

# Generate response
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=512, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.9)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
```
