AutoTrain Advanced: faster and easier training and deployments of state-of-the-art machine learning models. AutoTrain Advanced is a no-code solution that allows you to train machine learning models in just a few clicks. Please note that you must upload data in correct format for project to be created. For help regarding proper data format and pricing, check out the documentation.
NOTE: AutoTrain is free! You only pay for the resources you use in case you decide to run AutoTrain on Hugging Face Spaces. When running locally, you only pay for the resources you use on your own infrastructure.

You can Install AutoTrain-Advanced python package via PIP. Please note you will need python >= 3.10 for AutoTrain Advanced to work properly.
pip install autotrain-advanced
Please make sure that you have git lfs installed. Check out the instructions here: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/Installation
You also need to install torch, torchaudio and torchvision.
The best way to run autotrain is in a conda environment. You can create a new conda environment with the following command:
conda create -n autotrain python=3.10
conda activate autotrain
pip install autotrain-advanced
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=12.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia
conda install -c "nvidia/label/cuda-12.1.0" cuda-nvcc
Once done, you can start the application using:
autotrain app --port 8080 --host 127.0.0.1
If you are not fond of UI, you can use AutoTrain Configs to train using command line or simply AutoTrain CLI.
To use config file for training, you can use the following command:
autotrain --config <path_to_config_file>
You can find sample config files in the configs
directory of this repository.
Example config file for finetuning SmolLM2:
task: llm-sft
base_model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct
project_name: autotrain-smollm2-finetune
log: tensorboard
backend: local
data:
path: HuggingFaceH4/no_robots
train_split: train
valid_split: null
chat_template: tokenizer
column_mapping:
text_column: messages
params:
block_size: 2048
model_max_length: 4096
epochs: 2
batch_size: 1
lr: 1e-5
peft: true
quantization: int4
target_modules: all-linear
padding: right
optimizer: paged_adamw_8bit
scheduler: linear
gradient_accumulation: 8
mixed_precision: bf16
merge_adapter: true
hub:
username: ${HF_USERNAME}
token: ${HF_TOKEN}
push_to_hub: true
To fine-tune a model using the config file above, you can use the following command:
$ export HF_USERNAME=<your_hugging_face_username>
$ export HF_TOKEN=<your_hugging_face_write_token>
$ autotrain --config <path_to_config_file>

abstract = "With the advancements in open-source models, training(or finetuning) models on custom datasets has become a crucial part of developing solutions which are tailored to specific industrial or open-source applications. Yet, there is no single tool which simplifies the process of training across different types of modalities or tasks.We introduce AutoTrain(aka AutoTrain Advanced){---}an open-source, no code tool/library which can be used to train (or finetune) models for different kinds of tasks such as: large language model (LLM) finetuning, text classification/regression, token classification, sequence-to-sequence task, finetuning of sentence transformers, visual language model (VLM) finetuning, image classification/regression and even classification and regression tasks on tabular data. AutoTrain Advanced is an open-source library providing best practices for training models on custom datasets. The library is available at https://github.com/huggingface/autotrain-advanced. AutoTrain can be used in fully local mode or on cloud machines and works with tens of thousands of models shared on Hugging Face Hub and their variations.",
