# Configure and run lightweight model fine-tuning

Set up memory-efficient training scripts and track post-training runs on consumer hardware

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=configure-and-run-lightweight-model-fine-tuning)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/configure-and-run-lightweight-model-fine-tuning/index.md)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askSubmit training specs and dataset
- ThenTune hyperparameters for VRAM limit
- ResultLaunch run and log loss metrics

Prepare datasets and parameter-efficient tuning configurations for supervised fine-tuning and preference alignment. The bot validates memory constraints, adjusts batch sizes and gradient accumulation steps, and launches terminal runs while logging loss curves.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Inspect the target dataset and model architecture to configure memory-efficient post-training methods such as LoRA or 4-bit quantization. Adjust batch sizes, sequence lengths, and gradient accumulation parameters to fit within local GPU limits. Before executing any training script or modifying repository files via terminal, display the command and configuration for user confirmation. Record training logs, loss curves, and evaluation checkpoints in your notes.
