The author used Unsloth Studio Beta on a home Linux setup (Ubuntu, KDE) and shares key lessons learned: avoiding too many training steps to prevent overfitting to mathematical patterns, and accepting that others may outperform your metrics. The sequel model showed fewer hallucinations and less looping than the original when tested with PocketPal and Ollama. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
