🏆 NeurIPS 2023 Large Language Model Efficiency Challenge: 1 LLM + 1 GPU + 1 Day

The Lit-GPT repository is the official starter kit for the NeurIPS 2023 LLM Efficiency Challenge, which is a competition focused on finetuning an existing non-instruction tuned LLM for 24 hours on a single GPU. The competition has two tracks, one for the A100 and another for the 4090 GPUs.

If you are interested in participating, you can learn more about the NeurIPS LLM Efficiency Challenge on the official website here. Also see the Lit-GPT NeurIPS Challenge Quickstart Guide for helpful tips.

The submission deadline is Oct 25th, 2023.


 

Lit-GPT design principles

This repository follows the main principle of openness through clarity.

Lit-GPT is:

  • Simple: Single-file implementation without boilerplate.
  • Correct: Numerically equivalent to the original model.
  • Optimized: Runs fast on consumer hardware or at scale.
  • Open-source: No strings attached.

Avoiding code duplication is not a goal. Readability and hackability are.

 

Get involved!

Join our Discord to build high-performance, truly open-source models for the common benefit of the community.

 

Setup

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lit-gpt
cd lit-gpt

Install with all dependencies (including CLI, quantization, tokenizers for all models, etc.):

pip install -r requirements-all.txt

 

Use the model

To generate text predictions, you need to download the model weights. If you don't have them, check out our guide.

Run inference:

python generate/base.py --prompt "Hello, my name is"

This will run the 3B pretrained model and require ~7 GB of GPU memory using the bfloat16 datatype.

Full guide for generating samples from the model.

You can also chat with the model interactively:

python chat/base.py

 

Run large models on smaller consumer devices

We support 4-bit quantization (as in QLoRA), (bnb.nf4, bnb.nf4-dq, bnb.fp4, bnb.fp4-dq) and 8-bit quantization (bnb.int8) for inference by following this guide.

 

Finetune the model

We provide a simple training scripts (finetune/adapter.py, finetune/adapter_v2.py, and finetune/lora.py) that instruction-tunes a pretrained model on the Alpaca dataset.

  1. Download the data and generate an instruction tuning dataset:
python scripts/prepare_alpaca.py
  1. Run the finetuning script

For example, you can either use

Adapter (Zhang et al. 2023):

python finetune/adapter.py

or Adapter v2 (Gao et al. 2023):

python finetune/adapter_v2.py

or LoRA (Hu et al. 2021):

python finetune/lora.py

(Please see the tutorials/finetune_adapter for details on the differences between the two adapter methods.)

The finetuning requires at least one GPU with ~12 GB memory (RTX 3060).

It is expected that you have downloaded the pretrained weights as described above. More details about each finetuning method and how you can apply it to your own data can be found in our technical how-to guides.

 

Finetuning how-to guides

These technical tutorials illustrate how to run the finetuning code.

Pretraining

We provide simple training scripts based on Fabric if you want to venture into pretraining. Conversion scripts for our optimized streaming PackedDataset are included.

Supported datasets

Lit-GPT includes a variety of dataset preparation scripts for finetuning and pretraining. Additional information about the datasets and dataset preparation is provided in the Preparing Datasets tutorial.

 

XLA

Lightning AI has partnered with Google to add first-class support for Cloud TPUs in Lightning’s frameworks and Lit-GPT, helping democratize AI for millions of developers and researchers worldwide.

Using TPUs with Lightning is as straightforward as changing one line of code.

We provide scripts fully optimized for TPUs in the XLA directory
