# Chapter 7: Finetuning to Follow Instructions

### Main Chapter Code

- [ch07.ipynb](ch07.ipynb) contains all the code as it appears in the chapter
- [previous_chapters.py](previous_chapters.py)  is a Python module that contains the GPT model we coded and trained in previous chapters, alongside many utility functions, which we reuse in this chapter
- [gpt_download.py](gpt_download.py) contains the utility functions for downloading the pretrained GPT model weights

### Optional Code

- [load-finetuned-model.ipynb](load-finetuned-model.ipynb)  is a standalone Jupyter notebook to load the instruction finetuned model we created in this chapter

- [gpt-instruction-finetuning.py](gpt-instruction-finetuning.py) is a standalone Python script to instruction finetune the model as described in the main chapter

Usage:

```bash
python gpt-instruction-finetuning.py
```
