# 🤖 chatbot-v2 — TinyLLaMA Instruction-Tuned Chatbot (LoRA)

`chatbot-v2` is a lightweight, instruction-following conversational AI model based on **TinyLLaMA** and fine-tuned using **LoRA** adapters. It has been trained on a carefully curated mixture of open datasets covering assistant-like responses, code generation, summarization, safety alignment, and dialog reasoning.

This model is ideal for embedding into mobile or edge apps with low-resource inference needs or running via an API.

## 💬 Example Prompt

Instruction:

Explain the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning.

Response:

Supervised learning uses labeled data to train models, while unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to discover patterns or groupings in the data…

## 📥 How to Load the Adapters

To use this model, load the base TinyLLaMA model and apply the LoRA adapters:

```python
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat")

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "sahil239/chatbot-v2")
