# SmolLM2 360M Instruct ITA

This model is a fine-tuned version of [HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-360M](https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-360M) on the [smol-smoltalk](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceTB/smol-smoltalk) dataset and on the [ReDiX/DataForge](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ReDiX/DataForge).
Our datasets is a mixture of open source italian datasets and [ReDiX/everyday-conversations-ita](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ReDiX/everyday-conversations-ita)
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.8925

## Model description

This model is an experiment to test out the [ReDiX/everyday-conversations-ita](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ReDiX/everyday-conversations-ita) dataset.

## Intended uses & limitations

Simple and very basic chat in italian and english
