fix(studio): correct default weight_decay and learning rate (#4695)
* fix(studio): change default weight_decay from 0.01 to 0.001

The default weight decay across Studio was 0.01 but should be 0.001.
Updated the default in all backend fallbacks, the Pydantic model, the
frontend config, and every YAML preset/model-default config.

* fix(studio): auto-set learning rate based on training method

Default LR should be 2e-4 for LoRA/QLoRA and 2e-5 for full fine-tuning.

Frontend: track whether the user has manually edited the LR field via a
_learningRateManuallySet flag (same pattern as trainOnCompletions).
When switching training method and the user has not touched the LR,
auto-set it to the appropriate default. Reset the flag on model load.

Backend: change trainer.py start_training default from 5e-5 to 2e-4,
update default.yaml fallback from 5e-5 to 2e-4, and fix
full_finetune.yaml from 0.0002 (2e-4) to 2e-5.

* refactor(studio): centralize weight_decay and learning rate defaults

Create studio/backend/core/training/constants.py as the single source of
truth for DEFAULT_WEIGHT_DECAY (0.001), DEFAULT_LEARNING_RATE (2e-4),
DEFAULT_LEARNING_RATE_FULL (2e-5), and DEFAULT_LEARNING_RATE_STR ("2e-4").

All backend modules (trainer.py, training.py, worker.py, models/training.py)
now import from constants.py instead of hardcoding values.

On the frontend, add LR_DEFAULT_LORA and LR_DEFAULT_FULL to
config/training.ts and use them in the store instead of magic numbers.
A comment cross-references the backend constants file.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Fix model-specific LR override, persist migration, and flag resets

- Preserve model-specific learning rates from YAML configs when the
  async autoSelectTrainingMethod callback fires (fixes Qwen2.5-1.5B
  getting 2e-4 instead of its configured 1e-5, etc.)
- Bump zustand persist version to 9 with migration so existing users
  with weightDecay=0.01 get updated to 0.001
- Clear _learningRateManuallySet in reset() and applyConfigPatch()
  for consistency with trainOnCompletions flag behavior
- Add DEFAULT_LEARNING_RATE_FULL_STR to constants.py

* Refine applyConfigPatch to only clear LR flag when patch includes LR

Only reset _learningRateManuallySet when the applied config patch
actually provides a learningRate value. This prevents unrelated config
patches from silently disarming the manual-edit guard, which would
cause a subsequent setTrainingMethod call to overwrite the user's
custom LR.

* Preserve model-specific LR when switching between qlora and lora

Only auto-switch the learning rate when the training category changes
(adapter <-> full fine-tuning). Switching between qlora and lora keeps
the current LR since both methods share the same learning rate range.
This preserves curated per-model defaults (e.g. 1e-5 for
Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct) when the user toggles between adapter methods.

* Remove constants.py, use YAML configs as the source of truth

The YAML config files (model-specific + default.yaml) are the intended
config layer for training defaults. The Python backend fallbacks now use
inline values that match the YAML configs, rather than importing from a
separate constants module. This keeps the config architecture simple:
YAML files are the single source of truth, and the inline Python
fallbacks are just safety nets that mirror them.

* fix(studio): preserve model-specific LR when switching training method

Stash YAML-provided learning rate and use it to restore the correct
value when switching between adapter and full fine-tune modes.

- qlora <-> lora no longer overwrites the model's LR
- full -> adapter restores the YAML LR instead of a hardcoded constant
- selecting a model while on full fine-tune uses LR_DEFAULT_FULL
  instead of applying the YAML adapter LR

  • Observability: Monitor training live, track loss and GPU usage and customize graphs.
  • Multi-GPU training is supported, with major improvements coming soon.

Quickstart

Unsloth can be used in two ways: through Unsloth Studio, the web UI, or through Unsloth Core, the code-based version. Each has different requirements.

Unsloth Studio (web UI)

Unsloth Studio (Beta) works on Windows, Linux, WSL and macOS.

  • CPU: Supported for Chat and Data Recipes currently
  • NVIDIA: Training works on RTX 30/40/50, Blackwell, DGX Spark, Station and more
  • macOS: Currently supports chat and Data Recipes. MLX training is coming very soon
  • AMD: Chat + Data works. Train with Unsloth Core. Studio support is out soon.
  • Coming soon: Training support for Apple MLX, AMD, and Intel.
  • Multi-GPU: Available now, with a major upgrade on the way

  -v $(pwd)/work:/workspace/work \
  --gpus all \
  unsloth/unsloth

Developer, Nightly, Uninstall

To see developer, nightly and uninstallation etc. instructions, see advanced installation.

Unsloth Core (code-based)

Linux, WSL:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13
source unsloth_env/bin/activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto

Windows:

winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.13
winget install --id=astral-sh.uv  -e
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13
.\unsloth_env\Scripts\activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto

For Windows, pip install unsloth works only if you have PyTorch installed. Read our Windows Guide. You can use the same Docker image as Unsloth Studio.

AMD, Intel:

For RTX 50x, B200, 6000 GPUs: uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto. Read our guides for: Blackwell and DGX Spark.
To install Unsloth on AMD and Intel GPUs, follow our AMD Guide and Intel Guide.

Uninstall

You can uninstall Unsloth Studio by deleting its install folder usually located under $HOME/.unsloth/studio on Mac/Linux/WSL and %USERPROFILE%\.unsloth\studio on Windows. Using the rm -rf commands will delete everything, including your history, cache:

  • MacOS, WSL, Linux: rm -rf ~/.unsloth/studio
  • Windows (PowerShell): Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME\.unsloth\studio"

For more info, see our docs.

Deleting model files

You can delete old model files either from the bin icon in model search or by removing the relevant cached model folder from the default Hugging Face cache directory. By default, HF uses:

  • MacOS, Linux, WSL: ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cache\huggingface\hub\
