## Model Description

### Overview

This model is a fine-tuned version of **Llama 3.1**, specifically tailored for question answering tasks. Utilizing the **unsloth** library, the model has been trained on a custom dataset formatted in the Alpaca prompt style. It is designed to generate accurate answers along with explanations based on user queries.

### Architecture

- **Base Model**: `unsloth/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B`
- **Model Size**: 8 Billion parameters
- **Architecture Type**: Transformer-based Language Model
- **Modifications**: Fine-tuned on a custom dataset using unsloth with 4-bit quantization for efficient training.

### Hyperparameters

- **Maximum Sequence Length**: 512 tokens
- **Batch Size**: 4 (per device)
- **Gradient Accumulation Steps**: 4
- **Learning Rate**: 2e-4
- **Optimizer**: `adamw_8bit`
- **Weight Decay**: 0.01
- **Learning Rate Scheduler**: Linear
- **Number of Epochs**: 1
- **Warmup Steps**: 5
- **Max Training Steps**: 60
- **Seed**: 3407
- **Mixed Precision Training**:
  - **FP16**: Enabled if BF16 is not supported
  - **BF16**: Enabled if supported by the hardware

## Intended Use

### Primary Use Cases

- **Question Answering**: The model is intended to answer user queries and provide explanations based on the provided context in the dataset.
- **Educational Tools**: Can be used in applications that require answering questions with additional explanations.

### Users

- **Developers**: Integrating the model into applications requiring question-answering capabilities.
- **Researchers**: Studying fine-tuning techniques on large language models.

### Out-of-Scope Uses

- **Undefined Domains**: The model may not perform well on queries outside the scope of the training data.
- **Sensitive Content**: Should not be used for generating content that includes disallowed or harmful information.

## Evaluation Metrics

- **Metrics Used**: [Not specified]
- **Performance Results**: [Please provide evaluation results, such as Exact Match and F1 scores]
- **Benchmark Datasets**: [Specify if any standard datasets were used for evaluation]
- **Limitations of Evaluation**: The model has not been evaluated on external datasets; performance on out-of-domain data is unknown. -->

## Limitations

### Known Issues

- **Generalization**: May not generalize well to questions outside the training data domain.
- **Biases**: Potential biases inherited from the training data are unknown due to lack of bias analysis.

<!-- ### Uncertainty Estimates -->

<!-- - **Confidence Scores**: The model does not provide uncertainty estimates for its predictions.

## Ethical Considerations

### Potential Risks

- **Misinformation**: The model might generate incorrect or misleading answers if the input is ambiguous or out-of-scope.
- **Bias**: Without a bias analysis, there is a risk of the model exhibiting unintended biases present in the training data.

### Mitigation Strategies

- **User Review**: Outputs should be reviewed by a human for critical applications.
- **Further Evaluation**: Recommend conducting bias and fairness assessments before deployment.

## Training and Evaluation Environment

- **Hardware Used**: "Trained on a single NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU"
- **Software and Libraries**:
  - **Python Version**: Python 3.8
  - **Transformers Library**: Transformers 4.8
  - **Unsloth Library**: Version used as per the code snippet
  - **TRL (Transformers Reinforcement Learning)**: Used for SFTTrainer
