What is Unsloth?
Unsloth could Finetune LLMs (DeepSeek, Llama 3, Mistral, Gemma, Qwen, Phi etc.) 2x faster with up to 80% less memory. Open-source, with free Colab notebooks. Now with reasoning capabilities!
Problem
The current solution requires extensive resources to fine-tune large language models (LLMs). Users face limitations in performance speed and memory consumption when refining models such as DeepSeek, Llama 3, and others. These constraints hinder the efficient adaptation of LLMs for specific tasks, as traditional methods are resource-intensive and costly. The drawbacks include the need to allocate significant hardware resources and time, making LLM deployment impractical for smaller organizations or individual researchers.
Solution
An open-source tool that enhances the fine-tuning process of LLMs 2x faster with up to 80% less memory. Users can optimize models like DeepSeek, Llama 3, Mistral, Gemma, Qwen, and Phi more efficiently. The tool includes free Colab notebooks to assist researchers and developers in fine-tuning models without significant hardware investments, now with added reasoning capabilities.
Customers
Machine learning engineers, data scientists, independent researchers, and AI developers focused on optimizing large language models for specific applications. Also includes academics and institutions looking for cost-effective solutions for LLMs.
Unique Features
