Hugging Face Alignment Handbook
Curated recipes and code for aligning language models (preference optimization, DPO-style flows) on open stacks.
Why it is included
Surfaced on TAAFT’s #llm tag as Hugging Face’s Apache-2.0 alignment cookbook companion to TRL.
Best for
Practitioners reproducing open alignment baselines with documented hyperparameters.
Strengths
- Opinionated recipes
- Pairs with TRL/Transformers
- Community reference
Limitations
- Not a framework itself—documentation + scripts
Good alternatives
TRL alone · OpenRLHF · Axolotl DPO modes
