Quick Start

Setup

Our package has been tested on Linux OS (Ubuntu 20.04). Other OS platforms (MacOS, Windows) are not fully tested, where you may encounter unexpected errors. If you are using LMFlow for the first time, we recommend you to try on a Linux machine or Google Colab.

CUDA versions 10.3-11.7 are supported in versions v0.0.5 or older. For CUDA versions greater than 11.7, one can use our stable branch >= v0.0.6.

git clone https://github.com/OptimalScale/LMFlow.git
cd LMFlow
conda create -n lmflow python=3.9 -y
conda activate lmflow
conda install mpi4py
bash install.sh

Prepare Dataset

Please refer to our doc.

Finetuning (Full)

Full training updates all the parameters to finetune a language model. Here is an example to finetune a GPT-2 base model.

cd data && ./download.sh alpaca && cd -

./scripts/run_finetune.sh \
  --model_name_or_path gpt2 \
  --dataset_path data/alpaca/train_conversation \
  --output_model_path output_models/finetuned_gpt2

Tip

For conversation dataset, specify a conversation template for better performance by adding --conversation_template to the command.

Llama-3-8B conversation dataset example
cd data && ./download.sh alpaca && cd -

./scripts/run_finetune.sh \
 --model_name_or_path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B \
 --dataset_path data/alpaca/train_conversation \
 --conversation_template llama3 \
 --output_model_path output_models/finetuned_llama3_8b

Finetuning (LISA)

LISA is a memory-efficient finetuning algorithm that allows tradeoff between memory and the number of randomly unfreezed layers. This script currently is only tested in single gpus. Please stay tuned for our latest updates 😄

cd data && ./download.sh alpaca && cd -

./scripts/run_finetune_with_lisa.sh \
  --model_name_or_path meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf \
  --dataset_path data/alpaca/train_conversation \
  --output_model_path output_models/finetuned_llama2_7b \
  --lisa_activated_layers 1 \
  --lisa_interval_steps 20

Tip

 --conversation_template llama2 \
 --output_model_path output_models/finetuned_llama2_7b_lisa \
 --lisa_activated_layers 1 \
 --lisa_interval_steps 20

Finetuning (LoRA)

LoRA is a parameter-efficient finetuning algorithm and is more efficient than full finetuning.

cd data && ./download.sh alpaca && cd -

./scripts/run_finetune_with_lora.sh \
  --model_name_or_path facebook/galactica-1.3b \
  --dataset_path data/alpaca/train_conversation \
  --output_lora_path output_models/finetuned_galactica_lora

Tip

Llama-2-7B conversation dataset example
cd data && ./download.sh alpaca && cd -

./scripts/run_finetune_with_lora.sh \
 --model_name_or_path meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf \
 --dataset_path data/alpaca/train_conversation \
 --conversation_template llama2 \
 --output_model_path output_models/finetuned_llama2_7b_lora \

Inference

After finetuning, you can run the following command to chat with the model.

./scripts/run_chatbot.sh output_models/finetuned_gpt2

Deployment

If you want to deploy your own model locally, we provide a gradio-based UI for building chatbots. Running the following command will launch the demo for robin-7b:

pip install gradio
python ./examples/chatbot_gradio.py --deepspeed configs/ds_config_chatbot.json --model_name_or_path YOUR-LLAMA  --lora_model_path ./robin-7b --prompt_structure "A chat between a curious human and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the human's questions.###Human: {input_text}###Assistant:"       --end_string "#" --max_new_tokens 200

Evaluation

LMFlow Benchmark is an automatic evaluation framework for open-source large language models. We use negative log likelihood (NLL) as the metric to evaluate different aspects of a language model: chitchat, commonsense reasoning, and instruction following abilities.

You can directly run the LMFlow benchmark evaluation to obtain the results to participate in the LLM comparision. For example, to run GPT2 XL, one may execute

./scripts/run_benchmark.sh --model_name_or_path gpt2-xl

--model_name_or_path is required, you may fill in huggingface model name or local model path here.

To check the evaluation results, you may check benchmark.log in ./output_dir/gpt2-xl_lmflow_chat_nll_eval, ./output_dir/gpt2-xl_all_nll_eval and ./output_dir/gpt2-xl_commonsense_qa_eval.

Supported Features

Finetune Acceleration & Memory Optimization
  • LISA: Layerwise Importance Sampling for Memory-Efficient Large Language Model Fine-Tuning

    LISA is a novel and memory-efficient training strategy for large language models that outperforms existing methods like LoRA by selectively freezing layers during optimization. Check out LISA for more details.
    In LMFLow, activate LISA using --use_lisa 1 in your training command. Control the number of activation layers with --lisa_activated_layers 2, and adjust the freezing layers interval using --lisa_step_interval 20.

  • LoRA

    LoRA is a parameter-efficient finetuning algorithm and is more efficient than full finetuning. Check out finetuning-lora for more details.

  • FlashAttention

    LMFlow supports both FlashAttention-1 and the latest FlashAttention-2. Check out flash_attention for more details.

  • Gradient Checkpointing

    Gradient checkpointing is a memory optimization technique that trades compute for memory. It is useful when the model is too large to fit into GPU memory. Use it by just adding --gradient_checkpointing to your training command.

  • Deepspeed Zero3

    LMFlow supports Deepspeed Zero-3 Offload. We provide an example deepspeed config, and you can directly use it.

Inference Acceleration
  • LLaMA Inference on CPU

    Thanks to the great efforts of llama.cpp. It is possible for everyone to run their LLaMA models on CPU by 4-bit quantization. We provide a script to convert LLaMA LoRA weights to .pt files. You only need to use convert-pth-to-ggml.py in llama.cpp to perform quantization.

  • FlashAttention

    LMFlow supports both FlashAttention-1 and the latest FlashAttention-2. Check out flash_attention for more details.

Long Context
  • Position Interpolation for LLaMA Models

    Now LMFlow supports the latest Linear & NTK (Neural Kernel theory) scaling techniques for LLaMA models. Check out postion_interpolation for more details.

Model Customization
  • Vocabulary Extension

    Now you can train your own sentencepiece tokenizer and merge it with model's origin hf tokenizer. Check out vocab_extension for more details.
