+# Finetune, pretrain and deploy LLMs Lightning fast ⚡⚡   
+LitGPT is a command-line tool designed to easily [finetune](#finetune-an-llm), [pretrain](#pretrain-an-llm), [evaluate](#use-an-llm), and [deploy](#deploy-an-llm) [20+ LLMs](#choose-from-20-llms) **on your own data**. It features highly-optimized [training recipes](#training-recipes) for the world's most powerful open-source large language models (LLMs).
 
+We reimplemented all model architectures and training recipes from scratch for 4 reasons:   
 
+1. Remove all abstraction layers and have single file implementations.   
+2. Guarantee Apache 2.0 compliance to enable enterprise use without limits.    
+3. Optimized each model's architectural detail to maximize performance, reduce costs, and speed up training.    
+4. Highly-optimized [recipe configs](#training-recipes) we have tested at enterprise scale.

-## Finetuning and pretraining
 
-LitGPT supports [pretraining](tutorials/pretrain_tinyllama.md) and [finetuning](tutorials/finetune.md) to optimize models on excisting or custom datasets. Below is an example showing how to finetune a model with LoRA:

-## Configuration files for enhanced performance

+
+### Deploy an LLM
+Once you're ready to deploy a finetuned LLM, run this command:   
+
+<a target="_blank" href="https://lightning.ai/lightning-ai/studios/litgpt-serve">
+  <img src="https://pl-bolts-doc-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/app-2/studio-badge.svg" alt="Open In Studio"/>
+</a>
 
 &nbsp;
 
-> [!TIP]
-> **Run large models on smaller consumer devices:**
-> We support 4-bit quantization (as in QLoRA), (bnb.nf4, bnb.nf4-dq, bnb.fp4, bnb.fp4-dq) and 8-bit quantization (bnb.int8) for inference by following [this guide](tutorials/quantize.md).
+```bash
+# locate the checkpoint to your finetuned or pretrained model and call the `serve` command:  
+litgpt serve --checkpoint_dir path/to/your/checkpoint/microsoft/phi-2
+
+# Alternative: if you haven't finetuned, download any checkpoint to deploy it:     
+litgpt download --repo_id microsoft/phi-2
+litgpt serve --checkpoint_dir checkpoints/microsoft/phi-2
+```
+
+Test the server in a separate terminal and integrate the model API into your AI product:    
+```python
+# 3) Use the server (in a separate session)
+import requests, json
+ response = requests.post(
+     "http://127.0.0.1:8000/predict", 
+     json={"prompt": "Fix typos in the following sentence: Exampel input"}
+)
+print(response.json()["output"])

+# Training recipes
 
-LitGPT supports rich and customizable [config files](config_hub) to tailor the LLM training to your dataset and hardware needs. Shown below is a configuration file for LoRA finetuning:
+LitGPT comes with validated recipes (YAML configs) to train models under different conditions.  We've generated these recipes based on the parameters we found to perform the best for different training conditions.
+
+Browse all training recipes [here](config_hub).

+litgpt finetune \

+
+### What is a config
+Configs let you customize training for all granular parameters like:
+
+```yaml
+# The path to the base model's checkpoint directory to load for finetuning. (type: <class 'Path'>, default: checkpoints/stabilityai/stablelm-base-alpha-3b)
+checkpoint_dir: checkpoints/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf

+# Directory in which to save checkpoints and logs. (type: <class 'Path'>, default: out/lora)
+out_dir: out/finetune/qlora-llama2-7b

+# The precision to use for finetuning. Possible choices: "bf16-true", "bf16-mixed", "32-true". (type: Optional[str], default: null)
+precision: bf16-true

-## LitGPT design principles
-
-This repository follows the main principle of **openness through clarity**.
-
-**LitGPT** is:
-
-- **Simple:** Single-file implementation without boilerplate.
-- **Correct:** Numerically equivalent to the original model.
-- **Optimized:** Runs fast on consumer hardware or at scale.
-- **Open-source:** No strings attached.
-
-Avoiding code duplication is **not** a goal. **Readability** and **hackability** are.
