Soup: Fine-tune 8B models on 4 GB laptop GPU
Soup is an open source command-line tool that simplifies fine-tuning and post-training of language models. Version 0.72.4 introduces layer streaming for preference losses like DPO and ORPO, allowing an 8B model to be trained on an RTX 3050 with 4 GB VRAM without cloud resources.
WHY IT MATTERS
The tool makes LLM customization accessible to developers with modest hardware, reducing complexity by automatically handling batch size, GPU detection, and quantization.
