+# Single-host Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with TPUs on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) using MaxText
+
+This example implements Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) using MaxText and Tunix on
+Cloud TPUs on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
+
+It leverages **MaxText**'s scalable FSDP training loops and **Tunix**
+post-training libraries on a single TPU v6e-8 slice (`v6e-2x4`) to fine-tune
+Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct on instruction-following datasets.
+
+This use-case is built on top of the
+[GKE Training Reference Architecture](/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/terraform/README.md).
+
+## Before you begin
+
+- The
+  [GKE Training Reference Architecture](/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/terraform/README.md)
+  is deployed and configured.
+
+- Get access to the model.
+
+  - For Llama-3.1:
+    - Accept the terms of the license on the Hugging Face model page:
+      - [**meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct**](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct)
+
+- Ensure your
+  [Hugging Face Hub **Read** access token](/platforms/gke/base/core/huggingface/initialize/README.md)
+  has been added to Secret Manager.
+
+- Hardware & Storage Prerequisites:
+  - **Hardware**: This configuration is tuned for a **TPU v6e-8** (`v6e-2x4`)
+    slice topology.
+  - **Storage**: GCS bucket configured for storing Hugging Face converted
+    checkpoints and SFT checkpoint weights.
+
+## Create and configure the Google Cloud resources
+
+- Deploy the SFT cloud infrastructure resources (SFT dataset bucket, Kubernetes
+  service accounts, IAM bindings, and namespaces).
+
+  ```shell
+  export TF_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR="${ACP_REPO_DIR}/.terraform.d/plugin-cache"
+  cd ${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/terraform/sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host && \
+  rm -rf .terraform/ terraform.tfstate* && \
+  terraform init && \
+  terraform plan -input=false -out=tfplan && \
+  terraform apply -input=false tfplan && \
+  rm tfplan
+  ```
+
+## Convert the Hugging Face weights to MaxText format
+
+Before starting Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) training, you can run a one-time
+CPU-based checkpoint conversion job to convert the base Hugging Face weights
+into MaxText format. Running this on CPU nodes preserves valuable TPU resources.
+
+- Choose the model to convert.
+
+  - **Llama 3.1 8B Instruction-Tuned**:
+
+    ```shell
+    export HF_MODEL_ID="llama3.1-8b-Instruct"
+    ```
+
+  - **Gemma 3 4B Instruction-Tuned**:
+
+    ```shell
+    export HF_MODEL_ID="google/gemma-3-4b-it"
+    ```
+
+  - **Gemma 4 26B Instruction-Tuned**:
+
+    ```shell
+    export HF_MODEL_ID="gemma4-26b"
+    ```
+
+- Source the environment configuration:
+
+  ```shell
+  source "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/terraform/_shared_config/scripts/set_environment_variables.sh"
+  ```
+
+- Configure the checkpoint converter deployment:
+
+  ```shell
+  "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/kubernetes-manifests/maxtext-checkpoint-converter/configure_checkpoint_converter.sh"
+  ```
+
+- Deploy the checkpoint converter job:
+
+  ```shell
+  kubectl apply --kustomize "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/kubernetes-manifests/maxtext-checkpoint-converter/checkpoint-converter"
+  ```
+
+- Watch the checkpoint converter job until it is complete:
+
+  ```shell
+  watch --color --interval 5 --no-title \
+  "kubectl --namespace=${sft_cpu_maxtext_checkpoint_converter_kubernetes_namespace_name} get job/${HF_MODEL_ID_HASH}-maxtext-checkpoint-converter | GREP_COLORS='mt=01;92' egrep --color=always -e '^' -e 'Complete'
+  echo '\nLogs(last 10 lines):'
+  kubectl --namespace=${sft_cpu_maxtext_checkpoint_converter_kubernetes_namespace_name} logs job/${HF_MODEL_ID_HASH}-maxtext-checkpoint-converter --all-containers --tail 10"
+  ```
+
+  Once complete, your model checkpoints will be stored under
+  `gs://${huggingface_hub_models_bucket_name}/maxtext-checkpoint-converter-output/`.
+
+- Clean up the CPU conversion job:
+
+  ```shell
+  kubectl delete --ignore-not-found --kustomize "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/kubernetes-manifests/maxtext-checkpoint-converter/checkpoint-converter"
+  ```
+
+## Deploy the SFT workload
+
+- Source the environment configuration.
+
+  ```shell
+  source "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/terraform/_shared_config/scripts/set_environment_variables.sh"
+  ```
+
+- Configure the SFT deployment manifests.
+
+  ```shell
+  "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/kubernetes-manifests/sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host/configure_job.sh"
+  ```
+
+- Deploy the SFT workload.
+
+  For TPU v6e (Llama 3.1 8B):
+
+  ```shell
+  kubectl apply --kustomize "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/kubernetes-manifests/sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host/v6e-2x4-llama-3-1-8b-instruct"
+  ```
+
+  For TPU v6e (Gemma 3 4B):
+
+  ```shell
+  kubectl apply --kustomize "${ACP_REPO_DIR}/platforms/gke/base/use-cases/training-ref-arch/kubernetes-manifests/sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host/v6e-2x4-gemma-3-4b-instruct"
+  ```
+
+- Watch the SFT training job until it is complete:
+
+  ```shell
+  watch --color --interval 5 --no-title \
+  "kubectl --namespace=${sft_tpu_maxtext_single_host_kubernetes_namespace_name} get job/sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host-v6e-2x4-llama-3-1-8b-instruct | GREP_COLORS='mt=01;92' egrep --color=always -e '^' -e 'Complete'
+  echo '\nLogs(last 10 lines):'
+  kubectl --namespace=${sft_tpu_maxtext_single_host_kubernetes_namespace_name} logs job/sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host-v6e-2x4-llama-3-1-8b-instruct --all-containers --tail 10"
+  ```
+
+  When the job is complete, you will see the following status:
+
+  ```text
+  NAME                                                               STATUS     COMPLETIONS   DURATION   AGE
+  sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host-v6e-2x4-llama-3-1-8b-instruct          Complete   1/1           ###        ###
+  ```
+
+  You can press `CTRL`+`c` to terminate the watch.
+
+## Viewing Metrics (MLflow & TensorBoard)
+
+MaxText logs step metrics directly to TensorBoard format in Cloud Storage during
+execution.
+
+### Accessing the MLflow UI
+
+Because MLflow runs inside the cluster, you can port-forward the service to view
+the dashboard locally:
+
+1. **Port-forward the MLflow Service:**
+
+   ```shell
+   kubectl port-forward --namespace=${sft_cpu_mlflow_kubernetes_namespace_name} svc/mlflow-service-svc 5000:5000
+   ```
+
+2. **Open your Browser:** Navigate to `http://localhost:5000`
+
+3. **View SFT Experiment Runs:**
+   - Select the `sft-tpu-maxtext-single-host` experiment.
+   - Click on your active run (e.g., `Llama3.1-8B-SFT-...`).
+   - Inspect logged loss curves, learning rates, and gradient norms.
+
+## Critical Design Features
+
+1. **Decoupled Conversion**: Checkpoint conversion from Hugging Face format to
+   MaxText is decoupled into a dedicated CPU-based conversion job, preserving
+   valuable TPU resources for training.
+2. **Official Post-Training Container Image**: Uses the official Google Cloud
+   TPU MaxText post-training image (`tpu_post_training:0.2.4`) with execution
+   scripts mounted declaratively via Kubernetes ConfigMaps, eliminating the need
+   to build and maintain custom container images.
+3. **Optimized Resource Layout**: Configured with a dedicated GCS bucket and GKE
+   Workload Identity bindings for clean security isolation.
