π§ Custom Knowledge LLM: Tony Stark Edition
This is a fine-tuned version of the Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct large language model, trained specifically to answer questions related to Tony Stark, the legendary Marvel character. The project demonstrates how to adapt open-source instruction-tuned LLMs for domain-specific knowledge tasks using efficient fine-tuning methods.
π What It Is
A lightweight, instruction-tuned knowledge retrieval LLM that can answer factual, fan-oriented questions about Tony Stark. It uses a custom dataset of prompt-completion pairs and adapts the Qwen2.5 model using PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation).
π― Why It Is
This is a learning + fun project, aimed at:
- Understanding how to fine-tune LLMs on specific knowledge domains
- Exploring lightweight training using LoRA for limited GPU environments (Colab)
- Showing how fan-based or fictional datasets can help test LLM customization
Though it's themed around Tony Stark, the process used is reproducible and applicable to serious production tasks like:
- Domain-specific customer support
- FAQ bots for organizations
- Internal knowledge base assistants
π οΈ How It Is Built
β³οΈ Model Choice
- Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct was selected because:
- It's small enough to fine-tune on Colab
- Instruction-tuned already (saves effort)
- Multilingual and instruction-following by default
β³οΈ Fine-tuning Method
- Used LoRA via PEFT, which:
- Freezes most of the model weights
- Only trains small adapter layers (RAM/GPU efficient)
- Works with Hugging Face
Trainer
API
β³οΈ Dataset
- Custom-built JSON with Q&A pairs like:
"Who is Tony Stark?"
"List of suits developed by Stark"
"What tech does Iron Man use?"
π Can This Be Used for Other Models?
β
Yes!
The fine-tuning method used (LoRA via PEFT) is model-agnostic β you can apply the same code pipeline to:
- LLaMA / Mistral / Falcon / OpenLLaMA
- BERT-style models (with changes for classification)
- Any Hugging Face
AutoModelForCausalLM
-compatible model
Just ensure:
- The model supports text generation
- You choose correct
target_modules
for LoRA - Tokenizer and dataset are aligned
