Before you begin, ensure your development environment is optimized for local computation. A robust setup with a capable GPU (such as an NVIDIA RTX series) and sufficient RAM is recommended for efficient training. Use Ubuntu for a stable, customizable development environment. Verify your environment with the following commands:    * Update your package lists:  sudo apt update.    * Install pip:  sudo apt install python3-pip    *I nstall necessary libraries:  pip install torch tiktoken An SLM relies on the quality of its input data.
