Turn Any Document into a Synthetic Dataset and Fine-Tune with Llama

.. PLUS: Turn any ML paper to code repository, Agentic AI Terminal

In today’s newsletter:

  • Notebook: Generate and fine-tune synthetic data with Llama.

  • AI Terminal: I built a FastAPI app and set it up as an MCP server directly in my terminal.

  • PaperCoder: Turn any ML paper into code repository.

Reading time: 3 minutes.

Unsloth AI and Meta have released a free notebook that transforms your documents into high-quality synthetic datasets using Llama, then fine-tunes them with Unsloth AI.

Preparing training data for LLM fine-tuning is one of the most time consuming parts of any machine learning pipeline.

What if you could skip the manual work and turn any document, including a PDF, a blog post, or even a YouTube video, into a structured, fine-tuning-ready dataset in minutes?

Meta's Synthetic Data Kit, an open-source tool, simplifies the generation of fine-tuning datasets from various types of documents.

This setup combines Meta’s Synthetic Data Kit with Unsloth AI’s lightweight fine-tuning framework.

This notebook:

  • Ingests content from PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, and more

  • Uses Meta’s Synthetic Data Kit and Llama 3.2 to generate question-answer pairs

  • Cleans and filters outputs to ensure high-quality data

  • Fine-tunes a model with Unsloth’s lightweight training setup

  • Runs entirely on your local machine with no cloud setup or API keys required

You can take internal documents, research articles, or even educational videos and turn them into useful training data in just a few steps, then fine-tune a model on that data.

I built a FastAPI app and set it up as an MCP server using FastAPI MCP in just a few minutes, right inside my terminal!

I didn’t write a single line of code.

Warp’s AI terminal handled the entire workflow:

  • Cloned the GitHub repo

  • Parsed the README and folder structure

  • Summarized the repo’s purpose

  • Surfaced key files and components

  • Created a FastAPI endpoint and exposed it as an MCP server

All I did was type a natural language prompt: “Clone this repo, analyze it, create a FastAPI /predict endpoint, and expose it as an MCP server.”

Key Features:

  • AI-Driven Command Generation: Convert plain English descriptions into the right commands for automation.

  • Reusable Workflows: Save and share workflows for seamless collaboration.

  • Error Handling and Learning: AI learns from your habits to troubleshoot and offer contextual completions.

Turn any ML paper into code repository!

PaperCoder is a multi-agent LLM system that reads machine learning papers and automatically turns them into complete code repositories.

How It Works

It follows a three-stage pipeline:

  • Planning: Understands the paper's structure and objectives

  • Analysis: Extracts core methods, models, and equations

  • Code Generation: Produces clean, runnable code

Each stage is handled by a specialized AI agent, working together to ensure accuracy and completeness.

This method outperforms strong baselines both on Paper2Code and PaperBench and produces faithful, high-quality implementations.

It’s 100% Open Source
