 # Getting started
 For training and evaluation a model, feel free to checkout [this](https://github.com/Modalities/modalities/blob/main/examples/getting_started/getting_started_example.md) getting started tutorial, in which we train a small, 60M-parameter GPT model on a tiny subset of the Redpajama V2 dataset.
