πŸ’» Smoothing the Transition from Service LLM to Local LLM

Imagine your go-to LLM service is down, or you need to use it offline – yikes! This project is all about having that "Plan B" ready to go. Here's LLaMA Duo I've been building with @sayakpaul :

✨ Fine-tune a smaller LLM: We used Hugging Face's alignment-handbook to teach a smaller-sized LLM to mimic my favorite large language model. Think of it as that super-smart AI assistant getting a capable understudy.

πŸ€– Batch Inference: Let's get that fine-tuned LLM working! My scripts generate lots of text like a champ, and we've made sure things run smoothly even with bigger workloads.

🧐 Evaluation: How well is my small LLM doing? We integrated with the Gemini API to use it as an expert judge – it compares my model's work to the original. Talk about a tough critic!

πŸͺ„ Synthetic Data Generation: Need to boost that model's performance? Using Gemini's feedback, we can create even more training data, custom-made to make the LLM better.

🧱 Building Blocks: This isn't just a one-time thing – it's a toolkit for all kinds of LLMOps work. Want to change your evaluation metrics? Bring in models trained differently? Absolutely, let's make it happen.

Why this project is awesome:

πŸ’ͺ Reliability: Keep things running no matter what happens to your main LLM source.
πŸ”’ Privacy: Process sensitive information on your own terms.
πŸ—ΊοΈ Offline capable: No internet connection? No problem!
πŸ•°οΈ Version Control: Lock in your favorite LLM's behavior, even if the service model changes.

We'm excited to share the code on GitHub. Curious to see what you all think! πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://github.com/deep-diver/llamaduo
