Non-engineers guide: Train a LLaMA 2 chatbot

In this tutorial we will show you how anyone can build their own open-source ChatGPT without ever writing a single line of code! We’ll use the LLaMA 2 base model, fine tune it for chat with an open-source instruction dataset and then deploy the model to a chat app you can share with your friends. All by just clicking our way to greatness.

Why is this important? Well, machine learning, especially LLMs (Large Language Models), has witnessed an unprecedented surge in popularity, becoming a critical tool in our personal and business lives. Yet, for most outside the specialized niche of ML engineering, the intricacies of training and deploying these models appears beyond reach. If the anticipated future of machine learning is to be one filled with ubiquitous personalized models, then there’s an impending challenge ahead: How do we empower those with non-technical backgrounds to harness this technology independently? — Read More
