Fine-tuning Llama 4 (Scout 17B 16E) in 4-bit Quantization for Medical Reasoning

This project fine-tunes the meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct model using a medical reasoning dataset (FreedomIntelligence/medical-o1-reasoning-SFT) with 4-bit quantization for memory-efficient training.

Setup

Install the required libraries:

bash

pip install -U datasets accelerate peft trl bitsandbytes
pip install transformers==4.51.0
pip install huggingface_hub[hf_xet]

Authenticate with Hugging Face Hub:

Make sure your Hugging Face token is stored in an environment variable:

export HF_TOKEN=your_huggingface_token

The notebook will automatically log you in using this token.

How to Run

Load the Model and Tokenizer
The script downloads the Llama 4 Scout model and applies 4-bit quantization with BitsAndBytesConfig for efficient memory usage.
Prepare the Dataset
- The notebook uses FreedomIntelligence/medical-o1-reasoning-SFT (first 500 samples).
- It formats each example into an instruction-following prompt with step-by-step chain-of-thought reasoning.
Fine-tuning
- Fine-tuning is set up with PEFT (LoRA / Adapter Tuning style) to modify a small subset of model parameters.
- TRL (Transformer Reinforcement Learning) is used to fine-tune efficiently.
Push Fine-tuned Model
- After training, the fine-tuned model and tokenizer are pushed back to your Hugging Face account.

Here is the training notebook: Fine_tuning_llama_4

Model Configuration

Base Model: meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct
Quantization: 4-bit (NF4)
Training: PEFT + TRL
Dataset: 500 examples from medical reasoning dataset

Notes

GPU Required: Make sure you have access to 3X H200s. Get it from RunPod for an hours. Training took only 7 minutes.
Environment: The notebook expects an environment where NVIDIA CUDA drivers are available (nvidia-smi check is included).
Memory Efficiency: 4-bit loading greatly reduces memory footprint.
