Fine-tuning AI models can often seem daunting, especially when delving into the intricacies of modifying language models for specific applications like roleplaying. In this guide, we will walk you through how to fine-tune the Japanese-Starling-ChatV-7B model using a structured approach, focusing on role-playing scenarios.

Getting Started

To set up an effective roleplay AI system, you need to follow a streamlined process. Here’s a breakdown:

• Dataset Preparation: Utilize datasets like grimulkanLimaRP-augmented and AratakoRosebleu-1on1-Dialogues-RP.
• Model Base: Start with the TFMCJapanese-Starling-ChatV-7B base model.
• Training Configuration: Specify parameters for fine-tuning including lora_r, learning rate, and more as discussed below.

Setting Up the Prompt Format

The prompt format is crucial for engaging the model in meaningful roleplay. Utilize Mistral’s chat template and structure your prompts as follows:

[INST] Roleplay instruction

Define the characters, their attributes, and scenarios clearly. For instance:

[INST]
Character: Sakura (Character attributes and settings)
User Character: Yuto (Character attributes and settings)
Roleplay Instructions: Begin the dialogue
[/INST]

Example Scenario

Here’s a real-life example of how an input and output during a roleplay could look:

[INST] Let’s roleplay as Sakura. You are addressing Yuto.
Sakura: "Good morning, Master!" (Sakura smiles while preparing breakfast.)
Yuto: "Hello! Looking forward to today too."s
[/INST]

Training Settings

Once your dataset and prompts are ready, it’s time to set up the training. The environment configuration will typically involve using GPU servers. Here are the settings to consider:

• GPU: Use A6000 x 8 for training.
• Parameters:
  • lora_r: 128
  • learning_rate: 2e-5
  • num_train_epochs: 5 epochs
  • batch_size: 64
  • max_seq_length: 8192

Troubleshooting Tips

Even the best-laid plans may encounter issues. Here are some troubleshooting suggestions:

• If you face model performance issues, double-check your training parameters for optimal values.
• Ensure dataset format is correct—misalignments often lead to subpar outputs.
• Monitor GPU utilization to prevent bottlenecks during the training process.
