Description
How can I perform fine-tuning on FastChat using the Zephyr format? I've noticed that within the preprocess function, there is hardcoded logic intended for fine-tuning with the Vicuna template.

Research direction
The issue points to the preprocess function but names no file or test. Start by locating that function and reviewing the existing Vicuna-specific fine-tuning logic alongside the requested Zephyr format; done means FastChat can fine-tune using Zephyr-format data. No test or entry point is named, so the relevant validation will need to be identified.
