Description

Do I need to make any changes to the following training parameters if I am training Mistral?

torchrun --nproc_per_node=1 --master_port=20001 fastchat/train/train_mem.py \

Research direction

The issue provides a torchrun command invoking fastchat/train/train_mem.py with Mistral-7B-v0.1, but names no documentation file or test. Start by checking the training script and existing Mistral or model-specific guidance. Done would require a documented, project-supported answer identifying any parameter changes.
