Credits

We'd like to thank Recursal / Featherless for sponsoring the compute for this train, Featherless has been hosting our Magnum models since the first 72 B and has given thousands of people access to our models and helped us grow.

We would also like to thank all members of Anthracite who made this finetune possible.

Datasets

Training

The training was done for 2 epochs. We used 8xH100s GPUs graciously provided by Recursal AI / Featherless AI for the full-parameter fine-tuning of the model.
