🚀 Quick Start

Interactive Pipeline (Recommended)

The easiest way to get started is using the interactive pipeline:

./launch.sh

This script will:

1. Authenticate with Hugging Face (write + read tokens)
2. Configure training parameters interactively (SmolLM3 or GPT-OSS)
3. Deploy Trackio Space for monitoring
4. Setup HF Dataset for experiment tracking
5. Execute training with your chosen configuration
6. Push model to HF Hub with comprehensive documentation
7. Deploy demo space for testing (optional)

Manual Setup

For advanced users who want to customize the pipeline:

# 1. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements/requirements_core.txt
# 2. Configure your training
python scripts/training/train.py \
--config config/train_smollm3_h100_lightweight.py \
--experiment-name "my-experiment" \
--output-dir ./outputs \
--trackio-url "https://huggingface.co/spaces/username/trackio-monitoring"# 3. Push model to HF Hub
python scripts/model_tonic/push_to_huggingface.py \
./outputs username/model-name \
--token YOUR_HF_TOKEN

🔧 Core Components

Configuration System (config/)

All training configurations inherit from SmolLM3Config:

# config/my_config.pyfromconfig.train_smollm3importSmolLM3Configconfig=SmolLM3Config(
model_name="HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B",
max_seq_length=8192,
batch_size=8,
learning_rate=5e-6,
trainer_type="sft", # or "dpo"enable_tracking=True,
trackio_url="https://huggingface.co/spaces/username/trackio-monitoring"
)

Dataset Processing (src/data.py)

The SmolLM3Dataset class handles multiple dataset formats:

fromsrc.dataimportSmolLM3Dataset# Supports multiple formats:# 1. Chat format (recommended)# 2. Instruction format# 3. User-Assistant format# 4. Hugging Face datasetsdataset=SmolLM3Dataset(
data_path="my_dataset",
tokenizer=tokenizer,
max_seq_length=4096,
use_chat_template=True,
sample_size=80000# For lightweight training
)

Training Orchestration (src/train.py)

The main training script coordinates all components:

fromsrc.trainimportmainfromsrc.modelimportSmolLM3Modelfromsrc.trainerimportSmolLM3Trainer, SmolLM3DPOTrainer# SFT Trainingtrainer=SmolLM3Trainer(
model=model,
dataset=dataset,
config=config,
output_dir="./outputs"
)
# DPO Trainingdpo_trainer=SmolLM3DPOTrainer(
model=model,
dataset=dataset,
config=config,
output_dir="./dpo-outputs"
)

🎯 Training Types

Supervised Fine-tuning (SFT)

Standard instruction tuning for improving model capabilities:

python scripts/training/train.py \
--config config/train_smollm3.py \
--trainer-type sft \
--experiment-name "sft-experiment"

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)

Preference-based training for alignment:

python scripts/training/train.py \
--config config/train_smollm3_dpo.py \
--trainer-type dpo \
--experiment-name "dpo-experiment"

📊 Monitoring & Tracking

Trackio Integration

The pipeline includes comprehensive monitoring:

fromsrc.monitoringimportcreate_monitor_from_configmonitor=create_monitor_from_config(config)
monitor.log_metrics({
"train_loss": loss,
"learning_rate": lr,
"gradient_norm": grad_norm
})

HF Dataset Integration

Experiment data is automatically saved to HF Datasets:

# Automatically configured in launch.shdataset_repo="username/trackio-experiments"

🔄 Model Management

Pushing to HF Hub

python scripts/model_tonic/push_to_huggingface.py \
./outputs username/model-name \
--token YOUR_HF_TOKEN \
--trackio-url "https://huggingface.co/spaces/username/trackio-monitoring" \
--experiment-name "my-experiment"

Model Quantization

Create optimized versions for deployment:

# Quantize and push to HF Hub
python scripts/model_tonic/quantize_standalone.py \
./outputs username/model-name \
--quant-type int8_weight_only \
--token YOUR_HF_TOKEN
# Quantize for CPU deployment
python scripts/model_tonic/quantize_standalone.py \
./outputs username/model-name \
--quant-type int4_weight_only \
--device cpu \
--save-only

🛠️ Customization Guide

Adding New Training Configurations

1. Create a new config file in config/:

# config/train_smollm3_custom.pyfromconfig.train_smollm3importSmolLM3Configconfig=SmolLM3Config(
model_name="HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B-Instruct",
max_seq_length=16384,
batch_size=4,
learning_rate=1e-5,
max_iters=2000,
trainer_type="sft"
)

2. Add to the training script mapping in scripts/training/train.py:

config_map= {
# ... existing configs ..."config/train_smollm3_custom.py": get_custom_config,
}

Custom Dataset Formats

Extend src/data.py to support new formats:

def_load_custom_format(self, data_path: str) ->Dataset:
"""Load custom dataset format"""# Your custom loading logic herepass

Custom Training Loops

Extend src/trainer.py for specialized training:

classSmolLM3CustomTrainer(SmolLM3Trainer):
deftraining_step(self, batch):
# Custom training logicpass

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Out of Memory (OOM)

   # Reduce batch size in config
   batch_size=2 # instead of 8
   gradient_accumulation_steps=16 # increase to compensate

2. Token Validation Errors

   # Validate your HF token
   python scripts/validate_hf_token.py YOUR_TOKEN

3. Dataset Loading Issues

   # Check dataset format
   python tests/test_dataset_loading.py

Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging:

importlogginglogging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
