Create a Clone of Yourself With a Fine-tuned LLM
<p>This article aims to illustrate how to fine-tune a top-performing LLM efficiently and cost-effectively on a custom dataset. We will explore the utilization of the Falcon-7B model with LoRA adapters using Lit-GPT.</p>
<p>Ever wondered what it would be like to have a digital twin? A virtual replica of yourself that can have conversations, learn, and even reflect your thoughts? Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have made this once-futuristic idea attainable.</p>
<p>The AI community’s effort has led to the development of many high-quality open-source LLMs, including but not limited to Open LLaMA, Falcon, StableLM, and Pythia. You can fine-tune these models on a custom instruction dataset to adapt to your specific task, such as training a chatbot to answer financial questions. Furthermore, it can also provide a data privacy advantage when data cannot be uploaded or shared with cloud APIs.</p>
<p>In my case, I wanted the model to learn to speak my style by imitating me, using my jokes and filler words.</p>
<h1>Data collection and preparation</h1>
<p>Before we dive into the details, I’d like to point out that fine-tuning GPT-like models can be quite tricky. Nevertheless, I made the decision to take it a step further and train the model in the Russian language:</p>
<ul>
<li>This presents an additional challenge since models are primarily trained on English texts.</li>
<li>Given that Russian is my native language, I possess a vast dataset comprising my personal correspondences.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Data collection</h2>
<p>I chose Telegram because it provides a convenient API for data collection. Additionally, it serves as the primary platform for most of my communications with friends. This choice provides a valuable dataset that allows the model to gain a deeper understanding of my unique communication style and enables it to mimic me more effectively.</p>
