Add creative bucket:
# Download creative writing data # Add to manifest # Create new weighted mix
-
Add red-team bucket (carefully):
# Use Anthropic HH or create carefully # Review all examples # Add with 5% weight
-
Add factual grounding:
# Wikipedia paragraphs # Scientific abstracts # Add with 3% weight
-
Create balanced mix:
python dataset_manifest.py \ --create-sample \ --output examples/datasets/ultimate_balanced_1M.jsonl \ --total-samples 1000000 \ --phase production_balanced
Follow the 4-phase approach in DATASET_STRATEGY_GUIDE.md:
- Phase 1: Calibration (10K, 2 epochs)
- Phase 2: Reasoning (200K, 1 epoch)
- Phase 3: Creative (100K, 1 epoch)
- Phase 4: Robustness (50K, 1 epoch)

--limit 50- Systematic: Everything is organized into weighted buckets
- Measurable: Comprehensive evaluation at every step
- Scalable: Distributed training support for large datasets
- Flexible: Easy to add new data types and adjust weights
- Safe: Red-team capabilities with proper isolation
- Production-Ready: Complete pipeline from data → training → eval → deployment
- Start small: Test with 10K examples first
- Evaluate often: Run eval after each phase
- Track provenance: Manifest system keeps all metadata
- Weight carefully: Don't over-represent any single bucket
- Use SOLLOL: Distributed training is 4-8x faster
- Keep safety: Always review red-team examples
- Iterate: Use eval results to guide next dataset additions
- Red-team bucket requires human review
- Never train on harmful completions
- Keep safety filters in production
- Log all training data provenance
- Larger datasets = better results but slower training
- Use SOLLOL for datasets > 200K
- Phase training gives best results
- Monitor eval scores to avoid overfitting
- Dedupe before merging (next tool to build!)
- Verify dataset format
- Balance bucket weights
- Keep license metadata
If training fails:
# Check logs
tail -f ./work/training/logs/training.log
# Check memory
python simple_dashboard.py
# Reduce batch size or max_lengthIf evaluation fails:
# Install dependencies
pip install lm-eval datasets
# Test with small limit
python evaluate_model.py --model model --reasoning --limit 10If datasets missing:
# Re-download
python download_cot_tot_datasets.py --download-all --output examples/datasets/
# Check files
ls -lh examples/datasets/You have a complete, production-ready system for training Claude-like models with reasoning, creativity, and robustness. Everything is:
