Fine-tuning using (Q)LoRA

You can use the following command to train FastChat-T5 with 4 x A100 (40GB).

torchrun --nproc_per_node=4 --master_port=9778 fastchat/train/train_flant5.py \
    --model_name_or_path google/flan-t5-xl \

    --gradient_accumulation_steps 4 \
    --evaluation_strategy "no" \
    --save_strategy "steps" \
    --save_steps 300 \
    --save_total_limit 1 \
    --learning_rate 2e-5 \
    --weight_decay 0. \
    --warmup_ratio 0.03 \
    --lr_scheduler_type "cosine" \
    --logging_steps 1 \
    --fsdp "full_shard auto_wrap" \

    --tf32 True \
    --model_max_length 2048 \
    --preprocessed_path ./preprocessed_data/processed.json \
    --gradient_checkpointing True 

After training, please use our post-processing function to update the saved model weight. Additional discussions can be found here.

Fine-tuning using (Q)LoRA

You can use the following command to train Vicuna-7B using QLoRA using ZeRO2. Note that ZeRO3 is not currently supported with QLoRA but ZeRO3 does support LoRA, which has a reference configuraiton under playground/deepspeed_config_s3.json. To use QLoRA, you must have bitsandbytes>=0.39.0 and transformers>=4.30.0 installed.
