+# Finding the best LoRA parameters
+
+We finetune [Mistral-7B](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2) using [LoRA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685) and [DeepSpeed](https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed). We ran LoRA on two 40 GB A100 GPUs utilizing DeepSpeed.  
+
+See our [blog post](https://www.determined.ai/blog/lora-parameters) for our experiment results.
+
+To get started, first install Determined on your local machine:
+```bash
+pip install determined
+```
+
+Then finetune with LoRA:
+```bash
+det e create lora.yaml . 
+```
+
+You can view the actual training code in `finetune.py`.
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+Change configuration options in `lora.yaml`. Some important options are:
+- `slots_per_trial`: the number of GPUs to use.
+- `dataset_subset`: the difficulty subset to train on.
+- `per_device_train_batch_size`: the batch size per GPU.
+
+
+DeepSpeed configuration files are in the `ds_configs` folder.
+
+
+## Contributors
+
+- By [Sze Wai Yuen](https://github.com/szewaiyuen6)
+- Built on `llm-finetuning` code by [Agnieszka Ciborowska](https://github.com/aciborowska) and [Kevin Musgrave](https://github.com/KevinMusgrave).
