Hugging Face (Twitter) RT @karpathy: Last night I taught nanochat d32 how to count 'r' in strawberry (or similar variations). I thought this would be a good/fun example of how to add capabilities to nanochat and I wrote up a full guide here: https://github.com/karpathy/nanochat/discussions/164 This is done via a new synthetic task `SpellingBee` that generates examples of a user asking for this kind of a problem, and an ideal solution from an assistant. We then midtrain/SFT finetune on these to endow the LLM with the capability, or further train with RL to make it more robust. There are many details to get right especially at smaller model sizes and the guide steps through them. As a brief overview: - You have to ensure diversity in user prompts/queries - For small models like nanochat especially, you have to be really careful with the tokenization details to make the task easy for an LLM. In particular, you have to be careful with whitespace, and then you have to spread the... Перейти на оригинальный пост
