# german-sft-mix

A German supervised fine-tuning (SFT) dataset of multi-domain instruction and chat
conversations. Used to fine-tune
[Mario12355/nanochat-de-537m](https://huggingface.co/Mario12355/nanochat-de-537m).

## Format

A single column `messages`: a list of chat turns, each
`{"role": "user" | "assistant", "content": str}`. Conversations start with `user`
and (almost always) end with `assistant`.

## Splits

| Split | Conversations |
|---|---|
| train | 35,538 |
| validation | 5,000 |

Turns per conversation: 2 (median), up to 16 — about 66% single-turn, 34% multi-turn.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("Mario12355/german-sft-mix")
print(ds["train"][0]["messages"])
```

## Notes

- German-language instruction/chat data (partly from translated sources).
- 166 training conversations end on a `user` turn (no final assistant reply); filter
  these if your trainer requires assistant-terminated dialogues.
- Derived from public instruction data — verify upstream licenses before commercial use.
