> 💡 **Note:** This is the premium GPT-4 distilled version. If you are looking for the original Stambecco dataset based on Alpaca-Cleaned, you can find it **[here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mchl-labs/stambecco_data_it)**.

## 📌 Dataset Summary

This repository contains the dataset used to train the **Stambecco Plus** models.

The dataset is a high-quality Italian translation and adaptation of the **Alpaca-GPT4** dataset. Because the underlying responses were distilled from GPT-4 rather than GPT-3.5, this dataset features superior reasoning, richer vocabulary, and far fewer hallucinations than standard Alpaca datasets.

- **Language:** Italian (`it`)
- **Base Source:** Alpaca-GPT4 (Instruction Tuning with GPT-4)
- **Primary Use Case:** High-quality instruction fine-tuning, evaluation, and alignment for Italian LLMs.
- **Repository:** `mchl-labs/stambecco_data_plus_it`

---

## 📖 Data Structure

Each entry follows the standard Alpaca instruction-tuning format:

```json
{
  "instruction": "Spiega i vantaggi dell'energia solare rispetto ai combustibili fossili.",
  "input": "",
  "output": "L'energia solare offre numerosi vantaggi rispetto ai combustibili fossili. In primo luogo, è una fonte rinnovabile e inesauribile..."
}
```

- **instruction:** The prompt or task description in Italian.
- **input:** Optional contextual information required for the task.
- **output:** The target Italian response.

## 🚀 Quickstart

Load the dataset directly using the Hugging Face datasets library:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("mchl-labs/stambecco_data_plus_it")
print(dataset["train"][0])
```
