I’m new to the field of large language models (LLMs) and I’m really interested in learning how to train and use my own models for qualitative analysis. However, I’m not sure where to start or what resources would be most helpful for a complete beginner. Could anyone provide some guidance and advice on the best way to get started with LLM training and usage? Specifically, I’d appreciate insights on learning resources or tutorials, tips on preparing datasets, common pitfalls or challenges, and any other general advice or words of wisdom for someone just embarking on this journey.

Thanks!

    No offense intended, but are you sure it’s using your GPU? Twenty minutes is about how long my CPU-locked instance takes to run some 70B parameter models.

    On my RTX 3060, I generally get responses in seconds.

      I agree. My 3070 runs the 8B Llama3 model in about 250ms, especially for short responses.
