GPT-OSS Fine-tuning with Unsloth

Fine-tune GPT-OSS-20B 2x faster using Unsloth and Bright Data. Runs on free Google Colab T4 GPU.

Quick Start

# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gpt-oss-finetuning
cd gpt-oss-finetuning

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install Unsloth (special installation)
pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

# Setup environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys

# Run complete pipeline
python main.py

# Or run with options
python main.py --skip-data-collection  # Use cached data
python main.py --max-steps 100        # Train longer

Requirements

• GPU: 16GB+ VRAM (T4, V100, A100)
• Python: 3.8+
• CUDA: 11.8+

Features

• ✅ 2x faster training with Unsloth
• ✅ Runs on free Colab T4 GPU
• ✅ LoRA fine-tuning (only 1% parameters)
• ✅ Reasoning effort control (low/medium/high)
• ✅ Automatic data collection with Bright Data

This structure provides:

1. Modular design: Each step is a separate file that can run independently
2. main.py: Orchestrates the complete pipeline with command-line options
3. config.py: Centralized configuration
4. Environment variables: Secure API key management
5. Reasoning level testing: Included in the model tester
6. Clean README: Direct and actionable

You can run the complete pipeline with python main.py or individual steps by importing them. The notebook is preserved for Colab users who prefer that interface.
