InstructLab 🐶 (ilab) is a CLI tool focused on Large Language Models (LLMs), employing a novel synthetic data-based alignment tuning method for LLMs. The tool allows users to download, chat with, and enhance pre-trained models by adding new knowledge and skills to a local repository. Notably, ilab optimizes resource usage for community members with modest hardware while mentioning the potential for higher-fidelity results with more advanced hardware setups. Requirements include an Apple M-series Mac or Linux system, a C++ compiler, and Python 3.9+. The workflow involves tasks like model downloading, serving, training, and chatting, ending in the creation of a new model with enhanced capabilities.
