Overview
Fine-tune Llama-3.1-8B on a 4 GB laptop GPU, and align on the same card. Soup v0.73.0 is the release that came out of three days on somebody else's hardware: every number this project had published came from one 4 GB RTX 3050 Laptop, and a borrowed 8x H100 box was the first machine able to hold a resident reference for a model worth streaming. It confirmed the method (the streamed forward pass is exact against that reference at 8B, 14B, 32B and 72B, peak VRAM stays flat from 3,397 MB to 4,845 MB while the model grows fourfold, the laptop headline reproduces at a median 113.00 tok/s in the same
Soup CLI is designed to facilitate the fine-tuning of the Llama-3.1-8B model on a 4 GB laptop GPU, streamlining the training process by automating configuration and data management tasks. It supports various methods and integrates with existing ML stacks, allowing users to train models efficiently without extensive manual configuration.
Who Is It For
Developers and data scientists looking for a streamlined tool to fine-tune machine learning models on limited hardware, particularly those using Llama-3.1-8B.
Users requiring extensive support for larger models beyond the constraints of a 4 GB GPU or those seeking a comprehensive GUI-based solution.
Strengths & Weaknesses
The ability to fine-tune large models like Llama-3.1-8B on a modest 4 GB laptop GPU while automating many aspects of the training process.
Limited visibility into pricing and potential constraints on model size and performance due to hardware limitations (AI-inferred; may be outdated. Founders can correct this)
