Soup
What it is
Soup is a command-line tool designed to simplify LLM fine-tuning and post-training by abstracting infrastructure complexity into a single YAML configuration. It features a unique 'layer streaming' technique that allows training large models (e.g., 8B parameters) on low-VRAM hardware like 4GB laptop GPUs.
The problem it solves
The high complexity of infrastructure management, configuration hell, and high VRAM requirements for training large language models.
What you could use it for
- Fine-tuning Llama-3.1-8B on a laptop GPU with limited VRAM
- Post-training LLMs using QLoRA locally
- Simplifying model training workflows by avoiding manual SSH and complex configuration files
