Domain-Specific-Small-Language-Models

Companion Colab notebooks for the Manning Publications book Domain-Specific Small Language Models, covering small-model training and optimization.

Domain-Specific-Small-Language-Models

This repository holds the companion Colab notebooks for the Domain-Specific Small Language Models book from Manning Publications. The notebooks are meant to run in Colab's free tier, with or without hardware acceleration depending on the specific case; the code can also run on other platforms such as a local Jupyter server, DeepNote or AWS SageMaker, though the repository documents only the Colab environment setup and not those alternatives.

For a deeper understanding of any specific task, the notebooks are meant to be run alongside the corresponding chapter of the book rather than on their own. It is licensed Apache-2.0.
