## Other Features
### Synthetic Dataset Creation
This feature makes it able to use mlx-lm's powerfull batch genebrate to create a synthetic datasets using a teacher model, this can be used for knowledge distiliation, etc., and is a powerfull tool to create custom model, fuly locally.
#### Synthetic Prompts Dataset Creation
With this you can create a synthetic user prompts dataset using a model. this creates multible files, the first file is a JSONL file that has the generated samples in it, the next ones are parquet verison for HF compatibility. Example:
```shell
python -m mlx_lm_lora.synthetic_prompts \
--model mlx-community/Josiefied-Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-abliterated-v1-8bit \
--topics 'ML' 'politics' 'web security' \
--docs-dir ./docs-pdfs \
--output-dir ./sft_dataset \
--system-prompt "You are Josie, a cool and fresh ai asstant that talks like a gangster"
--num-samples 1000 \
--valid-split 0.01 \
--batch-size 4 \
--max-tokens 4096
```
**Resulting Dataset Format:**
```jsonl
{"prompt": "Question", "section": "only happens when using files via --docs-dir", "topic": "only happens when using topics via --topics"}
...
```
You can directly add that into the synthetic SFT dataset creation after finishing.
#### Synthetic SFT Dataset Creation
With this you can create a synthetic SFT dataset using a teacher model. this creates multible files, the first file is a JSONL file that has the generated samples in it, the next ones are parquet verison for HF compatibility. Example:
```shell
python -m mlx_lm_lora.synthetic_sft \
--dataset-path Goekdeniz-Guelmez/Josiefication-prompts-online-po \
--model mlx-community/Josiefied-Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-abliterated-v1-8bit \
--output-dir ./sft_dataset \
--num-samples 1000 \
--valid-split 0.01 \
--batch-size 16 \
--max-tokens 4096 \
--use-ground-truth \
```
**Dataset Format:**
```jsonl
{"prompt": "Question"}
{"prompt": "Question"}
{"prompt": "Question"}
```
#### Synthetic Preference Dataset Creation
With this you can create a synthetic DPO flatt-dataset using a teacher model. this creates multible files just like sft. Example:
```shell
python -m mlx_lm_lora.synthetic_dpo \
--dataset-path Goekdeniz-Guelmez/Josiefication-prompts-online-po \
--base-model mlx-community/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-4bit \
--teacher-model mlx-community/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-4bit \
--system-promtp "can be a normal string or the path to a .txt file for longer prompts"t \
--output-dir ./dpo_dataset \
--num-samples 10000 \
--valid-split 0.0001 \
--test-split 0.2 \
--batch-size 16 \
--max-tokens 8192
```
**Dataset Format:** Same as abouve
### Training Your Custom Preference Model
This feature adds a second training stage on top of the judge (preference) stage. A reward model thats scores the policy’s generations and the policy is updated with a KL‑penalised PPO‑style loss.
1. Collect preference data → judge‑mode (online DPO) → reward model
2. Run RLHF (policy optimisation) using the reward model → final policy
```shell
python -m mlx_lm_lora.train_judge \
--model Goekdeniz-Guelmez/Josiefied-Qwen3-0.6B-abliterated-v1 \
--train-type full \
--optimizer adamw \
--steps-per-report 1 \
--iters 50 \
--max-seq-length 1024 \
--adapter-path /Users/Goekdeniz.Guelmez@computacenter.com/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-COMPUTACENTER/Desktop/test \
--data mlx-community/Human-Like-DPO \
--gradient-accumulation-steps 1
```
**Dataset Format:** Same as DPO (with `prompt`, `chosen`, and `rejected` pairs).

## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Out of Memory**: Reduce batch size, use quantization, enable gradient checkpointing
2. **Slow Training**: Increase batch size, reduce validation frequency
3. **Poor Quality**: Increase LoRA rank, train more layers, check data quality
4. **Convergence Issues**: Adjust learning rate, try different optimizers
### Memory Usage Guidelines
| Model Size | Recommended Settings |
|------------|---------------------|
| 1-3B | `--batch-size 4 --num-layers 16` |
| 7B | `--batch-size 2 --num-layers 8 --load-in-8bits` |
| 13B+ | `--batch-size 1 --num-layers 4 --load-in-4bits --grad-checkpoint` |
