You can now fine-tune LFM2 with @axolotl_ai
! Thanks to @winglian for this! You can use his notebook to smoothly SFT an LFM2 model. I tried it and created my own LFM2-1.2B-Pirate based on this code.

AI Benchmarking Limitations: Beyond GPQA and MMLU Metrics
By
–

AI Model Limitations: Hallucinations and Narrative Comprehension Issues
By
–
There are lots of other quirks – it loses track of stories or narratives in complicated ways, while also being very good at finding details in large documents. I think its initial impressiveness might blind to some issues with hallucinations and other concerns. Don't know yet.
