InternLM Model Research and XTuner Practical Guide (Part 1): DataLoader, Model Conversion, Merging, and Inference
The guide walks through fine‑tuning InternLM‑Chat‑7B with XTuner, showing how to build a DataLoader from a HuggingFace Dataset, convert a LoRA .pth checkpoint to HuggingFace format, merge the adapter into the base model, run inference, and adapt the process for custom datasets and 4‑bit quantization experiments.
