huggingface/alignment-handbook

• highreadme#1

  Add a sentence to the README intro clarifying its role as a guide for using libraries

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Add a sentence early in the README, perhaps after the initial 'Robust recipes...' line, such as: 'This handbook provides practical, runnable recipes and guidance for applying techniques like RLHF and DPO, leveraging existing Hugging Face libraries like TRL and PEFT.'

• mediumtopics#2

  Expand topics to include broader alignment techniques and its nature as a guide

  Why:

  CURRENT

  llm, rlhf, transformers

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  llm, rlhf, transformers, alignment, dpo, sft, recipes, guide, fine-tuning

• lowreadme#3

  Add a dedicated section on the handbook's core differentiator

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Add a new section to the README, titled 'Why choose The Alignment Handbook?' or 'What makes this handbook unique?', with a concise paragraph explaining its specific value proposition, e.g., 'Unlike general-purpose libraries, The Alignment Handbook focuses specifically on providing end-to-end, runnable recipes and best practices for aligning LLMs, offering a curated path from data collection to model deployment with a strong emphasis on reproducibility and practical application.'
