Just wanted to share with someone - don't have much to report yet. I am interested in this new AliceAI model and have been wanting to make a community impact for a while. I am training on 3 32gb v100s (which has been fun to get to work, to say the least). What I'm really doing is creating a shallow distill of Qwen 3.8 27b and then using reinforcement learning - My initial plan is a SFT with Qwen3.8 27b synthetic data I'm generating targeting long horizon agentic work - then, RL / GRPO with a grader model for a while. I'm considering using a stronger model to generate the training data, but I'm trying to keep this on my local machine only. It's coming along - I can just barely fit the weights and activations on the v100s in qlora. I've built the framework for the SFT data generation for. I don't expect anything amazing but it should be a neat experiment. Also considering using a pre-existing data set for the tune, but I'm more interested in creating my own distillation.   submitted by   /u/jjusko20 [link]   [comments]
