Get Started with LoRAs - from zero to training your custom one

Until recently I have never used a LoRA.

So I decided to catch up and get up to speed. You can see the whole journey with details that you can follow here. https://followfoxai.substack.com/p/getting-started-with-loras-vodka

As usual, our post includes every step, tools used, datasets, code, and trained models with the full free access. With our aspiration to create the most open-source-minded series.

A very brief summary:

• Start by downloading a few LoRAs and applying them to different models

• Then try to train your first model as soon as possible. Following someone else's approach step-by-step is optimal.

• For training a LoRA you need three main parts:

  • Preparing a training dataset

  • Having a tool or code that will be used to train the model

  • Choosing the parameters to accomplish your goal.

• For your custom LoRA start by setting the goals, then start with copying the methods from other peoples and from there gradually experiment
