 To initialize the model, simply run the following 2 commands:
 ```python
-from xturing.models import GenericModel
+from xturing.models import GenericLoraModel
 
-model_path = 'aleksickx/llama-7b-hf'
+model_path = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B"
 
 model = GenericLoraModel(model_path)
 ```
 The _'model_path'_ can be a locally saved model and/or any model available on the HuggingFace's [Model Hub](https://huggingface.co/models).
 
+If you are following older notebooks that reference legacy `llama-7b-hf` mirrors, prefer current upstream checkpoints. Legacy mirrors can fail on newer `transformers` releases.
+
 To fine-tune the model on a dataset, we will use the default configuration for the fine-tuning.

-All instructions are inside the example [notebook](LLaMA_lora_int4.ipynb). **_Special Note:_** Using this demo requires you to have appropriate access to LLaMA weights. To apply access to it through this [link](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqNECQnMkycAp2jP4Z9TFX0cGR4uf7b_fBxjY_OjhJILlKGA/viewform).
+All instructions are inside the example [notebook](LLaMA_lora_int4.ipynb). **_Special Note:_** some older mirrored LLaMA checkpoints are no longer compatible with recent `transformers` versions. Use a currently maintained checkpoint path (for example `Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B`) in the notebook for reliable setup.
