# 🧘 Zen Training Space

**Unified Training Platform for All Zen Models**

Train any Zen model with any dataset combination from HuggingFace. Everything runs directly from HF datasets - no local storage needed!

## 🎯 Features

### Supported Models

**Language Models:**
- `zen-nano` (0.6B) - Edge deployment
- `zen-eco` (4B) - Balanced performance
- `zen-omni` (7B) - Multi-task
- `zen-coder` (14B) - Code generation
- `zen-next` (32B) - Frontier performance

**Vision-Language Models:**
- `zen-vl-4b` - Efficient VL with function calling
- `zen-vl-8b` - Enhanced VL capabilities
- `zen-vl-30b` - Maximum VL performance

### Supported Datasets

**Agent Training (ADP):**
- AgentTuning OS/KG/DB (~15k samples)
- Synatra (99k agent trajectories)
- Code Feedback (66k samples)
- Go Browse (27k web interactions)

**Function Calling:**
- xLAM 60k (Salesforce high-quality function calling)

**Instruction Tuning:**
- Alpaca (52k instruction samples)

## 🚀 How to Use

1. **Select Model**: Choose from language or vision-language models
2. **Select Datasets**: Check multiple datasets to combine them
3. **Configure Training**: Set epochs, batch size, learning rate, max samples
4. **Set Output Repo**: Specify HuggingFace repo for trained model
5. **Start Training**: Click the button and monitor logs

## ⚙️ Training Configuration

### Recommended Settings

**4B Models (A10G - 24GB):**
- Batch Size: 1-2
- Max Samples: 10,000-30,000
- Time: 4-8 hours
- Cost: ~$3-5

**8B Models (A100 - 40GB):**
- Batch Size: 2-4
- Max Samples: 30,000-50,000
- Time: 8-12 hours
- Cost: ~$15-20

**32B Models (A100 - 80GB):**
- Batch Size: 1-2
- Max Samples: 50,000-100,000
- Time: 20-30 hours
- Cost: ~$50-80

## 📊 Dataset Combinations

### For Agent Training:
```
ADP Synatra (80%) + xLAM (20%)
= Strong agent + quality function calling
```

### For Code Models:
```
Code Feedback (70%) + Alpaca (30%)
= Code expertise + general instruction following
```

### For VL Models:
```
ADP (all configs) + xLAM
= Complete vision-language agent training
```

## 🔒 Requirements

- HuggingFace Pro account (for GPU access)
- Write access to output repository
- HF_TOKEN secret set in Space settings

## 💡 Tips

1. **Start Small**: Test with 1,000 samples first
2. **Mix Datasets**: Combine complementary datasets for best results
3. **Monitor Logs**: Watch for OOM errors and adjust batch size
4. **Save Often**: Lower save_steps for longer training runs
