Week 3: Supervised Fine-Tuning on the Hub

Fine-tune and share models on the Hub. Take a base model, train it on your data, and publish the result for the community to use.

Why This Matters

Fine-tuning is how we adapt foundation models to specific tasks. By sharing fine-tuned models—along with your training methodology—you're giving the community ready-to-use solutions and reproducible recipes they can learn from.

The Skill

Use hf-llm-trainer/ for this quest. Key capabilities:

  • SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning) — Standard instruction tuning
  • DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) — Alignment from preference data
  • GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) — Online RL training
  • Cloud GPU training on HF Jobs—no local setup required
  • Trackio integration for real-time monitoring
  • GGUF conversion for local deployment

Your coding agent uses hf_jobs() to submit training scripts directly to HF infrastructure.

XP Tiers

We'll announce the XP tiers for this quest soon.
