# knatware/SmolLM2-135M

SmolLM2-135M

## Model Description

This model was produced with the **Parameterised Efficiency (PEFT / LoRA)** method (PASTA framework) starting from the base model [`HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M`](https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M), fine-tuned on a sample of the [`tatsu-lab/alpaca`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tatsu-lab/alpaca) dataset.

- **Task type:** instruction
- **Library:** peft
- **Generated by:** the PASTA fine-tuning Colab notebook generator

## Intended Uses & Limitations

This model was fine-tuned on a small sample for demonstration purposes. It has **not** been evaluated at scale and should not be used in production or safety-critical settings without further training, evaluation, and review. Behaviour is inherited from the base model and the (small) fine-tuning sample, and may reflect biases present in either.

## Training Procedure

### Hyperparameters

| Hyperparameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Method | Parameterised Efficiency (PEFT / LoRA) |
| Base model | `HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M` |
| Dataset | `tatsu-lab/alpaca` (`train[:200]`) |
| Epochs | 1 |
| Batch size | 4 |
| Learning rate | 0.0005 |
| Max steps | 20 |
| LoRA rank | 4 |
| LoRA alpha | 8 |

### Framework versions

See the `!pip install` cell in the training notebook for the exact package set used.

## How to Get Started

```python
from transformers import pipeline

gen = pipeline("text-generation", model="knatware/SmolLM2-135M")
gen("Your prompt here")
```

## Testing

Before being pushed, this model was tested locally with a sample inference call, and was re-loaded and tested again directly from the Hub after pushing to confirm the upload was complete and usable.
