Chinese-Vicuna

Why we included this project

Chinese-Vicuna is one of the more practical ways in if you want to build a Chinese instruction-following assistant without renting a cluster. Instead of a finished black box, it ships the actual LoRA fine-tuning pipeline, so you can adapt LLaMA-7B on a single RTX-2080Ti or the 13B variant on a 3090; those numbers make real experimentation possible on ordinary desktop GPUs. Beyond the training scripts there is generation and multi-turn chat code, a pure C++ runtime for CPU inference, 4/8-bit quantization, and worked examples that re-tune the model on Chinese medical and legal corpora. Small teams that want to fine-tune a Chinese model on their own data, rather than pay per API call, will find it a concrete, low-resource recipe.
