# llama.cpp/examples/training
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This directory contains examples related to language model training using llama.cpp/GGML.
 | 
						|
So far finetuning is technically functional (for FP32 models and limited hardware setups) but the code is very much WIP.
 | 
						|
Finetuning of Stories 260K and LLaMA 3.2 1b seems to work with 24 GB of memory.
 | 
						|
**For CPU training, compile llama.cpp without any additional backends such as CUDA.**
 | 
						|
**For CUDA training, use the maximum number of GPU layers.**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Proof of concept:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``` sh
 | 
						|
export model_name=llama_3.2-1b && export quantization=f32
 | 
						|
./build/bin/llama-finetune --file wikitext-2-raw/wiki.test.raw -ngl 999 --model models/${model_name}-${quantization}.gguf -c 512 -b 512 -ub 512
 | 
						|
./build/bin/llama-perplexity --file wikitext-2-raw/wiki.test.raw -ngl 999 --model finetuned-model.gguf
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The perplexity value of the finetuned model should be lower after training on the test set for 2 epochs.
