max_tokens: 2048
“`

Step 3: Configure Model Settings
Add model-specific parameters:
“`
architecture: transformer
layers: 12
attention_heads: 8
hidden_size: 768
“`

Step 4: Set Training Parameters
Include training configurations:
“`
epochs: 100
warmup_steps: 1000
gradient_accumulation: 4
weight_decay: 0.01
“`

Step 5: Save and Validate
1. Save the file
2. Verify formatting
3. Test file readability in your application
