# 🎯 Final Answer: Why Response Not Accurate & What To Do

## ❌ **Root Cause: Format Mismatch**

The model is generating **unrelated Kotlin/Android code** instead of Verilog because:

1. **CodeLlama-Instruct expects chat template format**: `<s>[INST] <<SYS>>...<</SYS>> User [/INST] Response </s>`
2. **Training used simple format**: `instruction + EOS + response + EOS`
3. **Result**: Model didn't learn the task correctly β†’ generates random code

---

## βœ… **Solution: Reformat Dataset & Retrain**

### βœ… **What I've Done:**

1. βœ… **Reformatted dataset** to use CodeLlama chat template format
   - New file: `datasets/processed/elinnos_fifo_codellama_chat_format.jsonl`

2. βœ… **Split dataset** into train/val/test
   - Location: `datasets/processed/split_chat_format/`
   - Train: 70 samples, Val: 9, Test: 15

3. βœ… **Updated training script** to handle chat format correctly

4. βœ… **Created training script**: `start_training_chat_format.sh`

---

## πŸš€ **Next Step: RETRAIN (Required)**

**You MUST retrain** because the old model won't work with the correct format.

### Quick Command:

```bash
cd /workspace/ftt/codellama-migration
source /venv/main/bin/activate
bash start_training_chat_format.sh
```

---

## πŸ“Š **Expected Results After Retraining:**

- βœ… Model generates **Verilog code** (not unrelated text)
- βœ… Output matches training data format
- βœ… Proper code structure (module...endmodule)
- βœ… Accurate responses to FIFO generation requests

---

## πŸ” **Why You Need to Retrain:**

- **Old model**: Trained with wrong format β†’ confused
- **Can't fix with inference changes**: Format mismatch is in training data
- **New format**: Matches CodeLlama-Instruct expectations β†’ will work correctly

---

## πŸ“ **Files Ready:**

- βœ… Reformatted dataset: `datasets/processed/elinnos_fifo_codellama_chat_format.jsonl`
- βœ… Split dataset: `datasets/processed/split_chat_format/`
- βœ… Training script: `start_training_chat_format.sh`
- βœ… Updated training code: `scripts/training/finetune_codellama.py`

---

**Answer: Yes, you need to reformat the dataset and retrain. The format mismatch is why responses aren't accurate. Everything is ready - just run the training script!**
