## Training procedure
We finetuned Falcon-7B LLM on Python-Code-Instructions Dataset ([iamtarun/python_code_instructions_18k_alpaca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/iamtarun/python_code_instructions_18k_alpaca)) for 10 epochs or ~ 23,000 steps using [MonsterAPI](https://monsterapi.ai) no-code [LLM finetuner](https://docs.monsterapi.ai/fine-tune-a-large-language-model-llm).

The dataset contains problem descriptions and code in python language. This dataset is taken from sahil2801/code_instructions_120k, which adds a prompt column in alpaca style. 

The finetuning session got completed in 7.3  hours and costed us only `$17.5` for the entire finetuning run!
