Soup - One-command LLM fine-tuning on a 4 GB laptop GPU

Soup is a CLI tool that simplifies LLM fine-tuning and post-training into a single command, eliminating SSH and configuration hassles. It supports a wide range of tasks (SFT, DPO, ORPO, SimPO, KTO, etc.) and models, with automatic batch size, GPU detection, and quantization. A standout feature is layer streaming, which enables training an 8B model on a 4 GB GPU by keeping the base model out of VRAM. With one YAML config, you can train, chat, push, merge, and export models effortlessly, making advanced LLM customization accessible to everyone.

Soup turns the pain of LLM fine-tuning into a simple workflow. One config, one command, done.
