01 / COMPATIBILITY

Recipe-compatible after subset preparation

Verify exact data rights, prepare a small local subset and evaluate on held-out data. No remote dataset code is executed.

02 / PREPARE LOCALLY

Keep the first run small

  1. Review the selected source subset, license and data rights.
  2. Prepare the format required by the chosen trainer. Audio, image classification and text SFT are different workflows.
  3. Set aside evaluation examples and inspect the final records before training.
  4. For the launcher text worker, choose a local JSONL file and supported HF checkpoint, then run Preflight.
