Publisher excerpt: In this tutorial, we work with NVIDIA's Open-SWE-Traces dataset to study agentic software-engineering trajectories for fine-tuning. We stream the data directly from Hugging Face, so we can process it efficiently in Google Colab without downloading everything locally. We normalize multi-turn agent…
