# SmolLM2-135M-Instruct-Plus
This model is a finetuned version of [HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct), aiming to maximize knowledge in a small 135M parameter model.
> [!WARNING]
> ⚠️ Consider this model a creative text generator.
> Without additional finetuning, it gives wildly inaccurate answers. Don't trust the output of this model without additional verification.
## Model Details
- **Base Model:** [HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct)
- **Finetuning Datasets:**
- [agentlans/crash-course](https://huggingface.co/datasets/agentlans/crash-course) (120K subset)
- [Intel/orca_dpo_pairs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Intel/orca_dpo_pairs)
- **Training Procedure:**
1. Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on `crash-course` for 1 epoch.
2. Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) on `orca_dpo_pairs`.
## Intended Uses
For research, experimentation, and educational purposes where a small instruction-following model is desired.
## Limitations
- **Hallucinations:** Prone to generating incorrect information due to its small size.
- **Repetitive Output:** May produce repetitive text.
## Training Details
Both SFT and DPO share common settings: liger_kernel booster, LoRA fine-tuning, custom model, BF16 compute type, batch size of 2, and a cosine scheduler with a learning rate of 5e-5. RSLoRA is enabled with a rank of 16 and alpha of 32.
The main differences are in the dataset and training specifics. SFT uses CrashCourse_120K with packing enabled and LoRA dropout of 0, while DPO uses orca_pairs with packing disabled and a LoRA dropout of 0.95.
## Evaluation
Provides coherent and creative answers but may often be incorrect. Thorough evaluation is recommended before deployment.
