+# Unsloth: Fast Fine-Tuning with Memory Optimization
+
+**Unsloth** is a fine-tuning library that provides ~2x faster training and ~60% less VRAM usage for LLM training. It's particularly useful when working with limited GPU memory or when speed is critical.
+
+- **GitHub**: [unslothai/unsloth](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth)
+- **Docs**: [unsloth.ai/docs](https://unsloth.ai/docs)
+
+## When to Use Unsloth
+
+Use Unsloth if instructed to do so, or one of the following use cases applies:
+
+| Use Case | Recommendation |
+|----------|----------------|
+| Standard text LLM fine-tuning | TRL is sufficient, but Unsloth is faster |
+| Limited GPU memory | **Use Unsloth** - 60% less VRAM |
+| Need maximum speed | **Use Unsloth** - 2x faster |
+| Large models (>13B) | **Use Unsloth** - memory efficiency critical |
+
+## Supported Models
+
+Unsloth supports many popular models including:
+- **Text LLMs**: Llama 3/3.1/3.2/3.3, Qwen 2.5/3, Mistral, Phi-4, Gemma 2/3, LFM2/2.5
+- **Vision LLMs**: Qwen3-VL, Gemma 3, Llama 3.2 Vision, Pixtral
+
+Use Unsloth's pre-optimized model variants when available:
+```python
+# Unsloth-optimized models load faster and use less memory
+model_id = "unsloth/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct"      # 4-bit quantized
+model_id = "unsloth/gemma-3-4b-pt"            # Vision model
+model_id = "unsloth/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct"     # Vision model
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+```python
+# /// script
+# dependencies = [
+#     "unsloth",
+#     "trl",
+#     "datasets",
+#     "trackio",
+# ]
+# ///
+```
+
+## Basic Usage: Text LLM
+
+```python
+from unsloth import FastLanguageModel
+from trl import SFTTrainer, SFTConfig
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+# Load model with Unsloth optimizations
+model, tokenizer = FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained(
+    model_name="LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct",
+    max_seq_length=4096,
+)
+
+# Add LoRA adapters
+model = FastLanguageModel.get_peft_model(
+    model,
+    r=16,
+    lora_alpha=16,
+    target_modules=["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "out_proj", "in_proj", "w1", "w2", "w3"],
+    lora_dropout=0,
+    bias="none",
+    use_gradient_checkpointing="unsloth",
+    random_state=3407,
+)
+
+# Load dataset
+dataset = load_dataset("trl-lib/Capybara", split="train")
+
+# Train with TRL
+trainer = SFTTrainer(
+    model=model,
+    tokenizer=tokenizer,
+    train_dataset=dataset,
+    args=SFTConfig(
+        output_dir="./output",
+        per_device_train_batch_size=2,
+        gradient_accumulation_steps=4,
+        max_steps=500,
+        learning_rate=2e-4,
+        report_to="trackio",
+    ),
+)
+
+trainer.train()
+```
+
+## LFM2.5 Specific Settings
+
+For LFM2.5 inference, use these recommended generation parameters:
+
+**Instruct models:**
+```python
+temperature = 0.1
+top_k = 50
+top_p = 0.1
+repetition_penalty = 1.05
+```
+
+**Thinking models:**
+```python
+temperature = 0.05
+top_k = 50
+repetition_penalty = 1.05
+```
+
+## Vision-Language Models (VLMs)
+
+Unsloth provides specialized support for VLMs with `FastVisionModel`:
+
+```python
+from unsloth import FastVisionModel, get_chat_template
+from unsloth.trainer import UnslothVisionDataCollator
+from trl import SFTTrainer, SFTConfig
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+# Load VLM with Unsloth
+model, processor = FastVisionModel.from_pretrained(
+    "unsloth/gemma-3-4b-pt",  # or "unsloth/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct"
+    load_in_4bit=True,
+    use_gradient_checkpointing="unsloth",
+)
+
+# Add LoRA for all modalities
+model = FastVisionModel.get_peft_model(
+    model,
+    finetune_vision_layers=True,      # Train vision encoder
+    finetune_language_layers=True,    # Train language model
+    finetune_attention_modules=True,  # Train attention
+    finetune_mlp_modules=True,        # Train MLPs
+    r=16,
+    lora_alpha=32,
+    target_modules="all-linear",
+)
+
+# Apply chat template (required for base models)
+processor = get_chat_template(processor, "gemma-3")
+
+# Load VLM dataset (with images and messages)
+dataset = load_dataset("your-vlm-dataset", split="train", streaming=True)
+
+# Enable training mode
+FastVisionModel.for_training(model)
+
+# Train with VLM-specific collator
+trainer = SFTTrainer(
+    model=model,
+    train_dataset=dataset,
+    processing_class=processor.tokenizer,
+    data_collator=UnslothVisionDataCollator(model, processor),
+    args=SFTConfig(
+        output_dir="./vlm-output",
+        per_device_train_batch_size=2,
+        gradient_accumulation_steps=4,
+        max_steps=500,
+        learning_rate=2e-4,
+        # VLM-specific settings
+        remove_unused_columns=False,
+        dataset_text_field="",
+        dataset_kwargs={"skip_prepare_dataset": True},
+        report_to="trackio",
+    ),
+)
+
+trainer.train()
+```
+
+## Key Differences from Standard TRL
+
+| Aspect | Standard TRL | Unsloth |
+|--------|--------------|---------|
+| Model loading | `AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained()` | `FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained()` |
+| LoRA setup | `PeftModel` / `LoraConfig` | `FastLanguageModel.get_peft_model()` |
+| VLM loading | Limited support | `FastVisionModel.from_pretrained()` |
+| VLM collator | Manual | `UnslothVisionDataCollator` |
+| Memory usage | Standard | ~60% less |
+| Training speed | Standard | ~2x faster |
+
+## VLM Dataset Format
+
+VLM datasets should have:
+- `images`: List of PIL images or image paths
+- `messages`: Conversation format with image references
+
+```python
+{
+    "images": [<PIL.Image>, ...],
+    "messages": [
+        {"role": "user", "content": [
+            {"type": "image"},
+            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image"}
+        ]},
+        {"role": "assistant", "content": "This image shows..."}
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+## Streaming Datasets
+
+For large VLM datasets, use streaming to avoid disk space issues:
+
+```python
+dataset = load_dataset(
+    "your-vlm-dataset",
+    split="train",
+    streaming=True,  # Stream from Hub
+)
+
+# Must use max_steps with streaming (no epoch-based training)
+SFTConfig(max_steps=500, ...)
+```
+
+## Saving Models
+
+### Save LoRA Adapter
+
+```python
+model.save_pretrained("./adapter")
+processor.save_pretrained("./adapter")
+
+# Push to Hub
+model.push_to_hub("username/my-vlm-adapter")
+processor.push_to_hub("username/my-vlm-adapter")
+```
+
+### Merge and Save Full Model
+
+```python
+# Merge LoRA weights into base model
+model = model.merge_and_unload()
+
+# Save merged model
+model.save_pretrained("./merged")
+tokenizer.save_pretrained("./merged")
+```
+
+### Convert to GGUF
+
+Unsloth models can be converted to GGUF for llama.cpp/Ollama:
+
+```python
+# Save in 16-bit for GGUF conversion
+model.save_pretrained_gguf("./gguf", tokenizer, quantization_method="f16")
+
+# Or directly quantize
+model.save_pretrained_gguf("./gguf", tokenizer, quantization_method="q4_k_m")
+```
+
+## Qwen3-VL Specific Settings
+
+For Qwen3-VL models, use these recommended settings:
+
+**Instruct models:**
+```python
+temperature = 0.7
+top_p = 0.8
+presence_penalty = 1.5
+```
+
+**Thinking models:**
+```python
+temperature = 1.0
+top_p = 0.95
+presence_penalty = 0.0
+```
+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+| Model | Min VRAM (Unsloth 4-bit) | Recommended GPU |
+|-------|--------------------------|-----------------|
+| 2B-4B | 8GB | T4, L4 |
+| 7B-8B | 16GB | A10G, L4x4 |
+| 13B | 24GB | A10G-large |
+| 30B+ | 48GB+ | A100 |
