Legal LLM (Fine-Tuned on Indian Supreme Court Synthetic Q&A)

• Developed by: Shivam Pandey (shivvamm)
• License: apache-2.0
• Finetuned from: unsloth/meta-llama-3.1-8b-unsloth-bnb-4bit

This model is a fine-tuned LLaMA-3.1-8B version optimized using Unsloth for high-speed training and inference.
It was trained on a synthetic legal Q&A dataset derived from Indian Supreme Court case data, enabling the model to reason over legal facts, summarize judgments, and answer domain-specific legal queries.

Training was conducted using the Hugging Face TRL library with Unsloth’s accelerated training pipeline, achieving ~2× faster fine-tuning compared to standard methods.
