Axolotl
An open-source tool for fine-tuning (further training) language models from a single settings file.
Definition
Axolotl is an open-source tool that simplifies fine-tuning — further training a large language model on your own data. It bundles several lower-level training libraries behind one plain settings file, so a user fills in options instead of writing code. It supports full retraining and lighter methods like LoRA and QLoRA that adjust only a small part of the model, plus common chat formats, and is popular for launching repeatable training runs quickly.
