Adapting large language models (LLMs) to specialized domains, such as predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of engines, requires efficient fine-tuning techniques and powerful computational resources.
The fine-tuning process involves leveraging the Virtuoso-Small-v2 model, a pre-trained 14-billion-parameter language model, and preparing the CMAPSS dataset for the specialized RUL prediction task.
To ensure computational efficiency, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) is employed, updating only a small fraction of Virtuoso's parameters.
The fine-tuning process is accelerated using an NVIDIA H100 GPU with 80GB of HBM3 memory on Lambda Cloud, demonstrating the efficient use of high-performance computing resources.
