This is the Q8_0 GGUF of the 4th (and likely final) experimental fine-tune of Nemo. I made these to teach myself the basics of fine-tuning, with notes extensively borrowed from https://huggingface.co/nothingiisreal/MN-12B-Celeste-V1.9

It is an RP finetune using 8,160 human-generated conversations of varying lengths from a variety of sources, trained in ChatML format.

The big differences from Celeste is a different LoRA scaling factor. Celeste uses 8; I did several tests with this data before concluding I got lower training loss with 2.

Training took around 4 hours on a single Colab A100 (but I didn't do an eval loop). Neat that I could get it all to fit into 40GB of vRAM thanks to Unsloth.

It was trained with the following settings:

==((====))==  Unsloth - 2x faster free finetuning | Num GPUs = 1
   \\   /|    Num examples = 8,160 | Num Epochs = 2
O^O/ \_/ \    Batch size per device = 2 | Gradient Accumulation steps = 4
\        /    Total batch size = 8 | Total steps = 2,040
 "-____-"     Number of trainable parameters = 912,261,120

This mistral model was trained 2x faster with Unsloth and Huggingface's TRL library.
