Axolotl

OSS fine-tuning framework built on HuggingFace Transformers. Supports LoRA, QLoRA, full fine-tuning, and FSDP. Config-driven — define your training run in a YAML file.

TRL

Hugging Face's Transformer Reinforcement Learning library — the standard toolkit for RLHF, DPO, GRPO, and reward modeling. DeepSeek's GRPO technique that sparked the reasoning model wave was popularized through TRL. Integrates seamlessly with the full Hugging Face ecosystem.
