What this skill does
NeMo AutoModel Recipe Development <!-- NVSkills signature refresh requested for AM-519. --> Instructions For recipe questions, answer with the smallest complete path to action: 1. Name the relevant recipe file or YAML section. 2. List the builder functions or config keys involved. 3. Include a minimal YAML or command example when the question asks how to configure something. 4. End with a local validation command or tiny CPU-compatible test. For conceptual recipe questions, answer from this skill without inspecting the repository or loading other AutoModel skills unless the user asks you to edit files. Keep the response focused on recipe YAML, builders, CLI routing, tests, and local validation. Use these compact answer patterns for common questions: New finetuning recipe variant: start from the closest file under nemoautomodel/recipes/, update the model, dataset or dataloader, optimizer, loss, LR scheduler, step scheduler, and checkpoint builders, register a CLI route only if adding a command or domain alias, add example YAML under examples/, then add a tiny CPU-compatible unit test and run automodel finetune llm -c <config.yaml>. target fields: describe target as the fully qualified Python callable, explain that sibling keys become keyword arguments, show optimizer and dataset examples, and mention nested CLI overrides such as --optimizer.lr. Validation and checkpointing: name stepscheduler.valcheckinterval, stepscheduler.checkpointinterval, validationdataset, restorefrom.path, and consolidated safetensors; include the minimal YAML snippet from this skill. For validation and checkpointing, always name: stepscheduler.valcheckinterval for validation cadence. stepscheduler.checkpointinterval for save cadence. validationdataset as the validation dataloader source. restorefrom.path for resume. Consolidated safetensors as the default checkpoint format for HF ecosystem compatibility. …
