This Repository: HuggingFace format - ready for inference with Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, etc.
Megatron Format: JinnP/Qwen3-8B-Kernelbook-SFT-filtered - for continued training with Megatron-LM

Usage

Quick Start with Transformers

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "JinnP/Qwen3-8B-Kernelbook-SFT-HF"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

# Example usage
prompt = "Explain how the Linux kernel handles memory management:"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=500)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

Using with vLLM

python

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

llm = LLM(model="JinnP/Qwen3-8B-Kernelbook-SFT-HF")
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.7, max_tokens=500)

prompts = ["Describe the process scheduling algorithm in Linux kernel"]
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

Training Details

This model was fine-tuned using the SLIME framework on filtered KernelBook data specifically curated for kernel and system programming tasks. The training focused on:

Kernel internals and system calls
Memory management and process scheduling
Device drivers and I/O systems
File systems and networking stack
Performance optimization and debugging

Model Performance

The fine-tuned model shows improved performance on:

Kernel code generation and explanation
System-level debugging scenarios
Performance optimization recommendations
Operating system concept explanations
