🥋 ML Sensei — TinyLlama LoRA Chat
A lightweight interactive tutor for machine learning concepts.
Welcome to ML Sensei, a fine-tuned TinyLlama model designed to teach machine learning concepts with clarity, intuition, and gentleness.
This Space provides an interactive chat interface where you can ask ML Sensei questions about:
- Machine Learning
- Deep Learning
- Neural networks
- Optimization
- Training loops
- Data science fundamentals
- Applied concepts and intuition
ML Sensei uses a LoRA adapter fine-tuned on a custom instruction dataset built from curated ML texts, chunk-based self-generated Q&A, intuitive breakdowns, and code-ready explanations.
🧠 Model Details
Base Model:
TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0
LoRA Adapter:

Architecture:
- Decoder-only Transformer
- Chat-tuned
- LoRA-adapted for ML instruction
🧩 What ML Sensei Can Do
ML Sensei specializes in:
✔ Beginner-friendly explanations
Breaks down ML ideas into approachable, intuitive pieces.
✔ Simple analogies + concept-first teaching
Uses everyday intuition instead of heavy math when possible.
✔ Helpful follow-up questions
Ask more and ML Sensei will guide you deeper step-by-step.
✔ Code examples on request
Provides PyTorch or pseudocode snippets when helpful.
✔ Checking your understanding
Ask ML Sensei to quiz you on a topic!
▶️ How to Use This Space
Just type a question into the chat box:
Example prompts:
- “Explain gradient descent simply.”
- “What is weight decay?”
- “How does cross-entropy work conceptually?”
- “Can you quiz me on neural networks?”
- “Write a small PyTorch example showing a training loop.”
ML Sensei will respond with high-quality educational text aimed at clarity and intuition.
