LLaMA Board: A One-stop Web UI for Getting Started with LLaMA Factory

Preview LLaMA Board at 🤗 Spaces or ModelScope.

Launch LLaMA Board via CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python src/train_web.py. (multiple GPUs are not supported yet in this mode)

Here is an example of altering the self-cognition of an instruction-tuned language model within 10 minutes on a single GPU.

Benchmark

Compared to ChatGLM's P-Tuning, LLaMA-Factory's LoRA tuning offers up to 3.7 times faster training speed with a better Rouge score on the advertising text generation task. By leveraging 4-bit quantization technique, LLaMA-Factory's QLoRA further improves the efficiency regarding the GPU memory.

Training Speed: the number of training samples processed per second during the training. (bs=4, cutoff_len=1024)
Rouge Score: Rouge-2 score on the development set of the advertising text generation task. (bs=4, cutoff_len=1024)
GPU Memory: Peak GPU memory usage in 4-bit quantized training. (bs=1, cutoff_len=1024)
We adopt pre_seq_len=128 for ChatGLM's P-Tuning and lora_rank=32 for LLaMA-Factory's LoRA tuning.

Changelog

[23/10/21] We supported NEFTune trick for fine-tuning. Try --neft_alpha argument to activate NEFTune, e.g., --neft_alpha 5.

[23/09/27] We supported $S^2$-Attn proposed by LongLoRA for the LLaMA models. Try --shift_attn argument to enable shift short attention.

[23/09/23] We integrated MMLU, C-Eval and CMMLU benchmarks in this repo. See this example to evaluate your models.

[23/09/10] We supported using FlashAttention-2 for the LLaMA models. Try --flash_attn argument to enable FlashAttention-2 if you are using RTX4090, A100 or H100 GPUs.

[23/08/12] We supported RoPE scaling to extend the context length of the LLaMA models. Try --rope_scaling linear argument in training and --rope_scaling dynamic argument at inference to extrapolate the position embeddings.

[23/08/11] We supported DPO training for instruction-tuned models. See this example to train your models.

[23/07/31] We supported dataset streaming. Try --streaming and --max_steps 10000 arguments to load your dataset in streaming mode.

[23/07/29] We released two instruction-tuned 13B models at Hugging Face. See these Hugging Face Repos (LLaMA-2 / Baichuan) for details.

[23/07/18] We developed an all-in-one Web UI for training, evaluation and inference. Try train_web.py to fine-tune models in your Web browser. Thank @KanadeSiina and @codemayq for their efforts in the development.

[23/07/09] We released FastEdit ⚡🩹, an easy-to-use package for editing the factual knowledge of large language models efficiently. Please follow FastEdit if you are interested.

[23/06/29] We provided a reproducible example of training a chat model using instruction-following datasets, see Baichuan-7B-sft for details.

[23/06/22] We aligned the demo API with the OpenAI's format where you can insert the fine-tuned model in arbitrary ChatGPT-based applications.

[23/06/03] We supported quantized training and inference (aka QLoRA). Try --quantization_bit 4/8 argument to work with quantized models.

For the "base" models, the --template argument can be chosen from default, alpaca, vicuna etc. But make sure to use the corresponding template for the "chat" models.

Please refer to constants.py for a full list of models we supported.

Getting Started

Data Preparation (optional)

Please refer to data/README.md for checking the details about the format of dataset files. You can either use a single .json file or a dataset loading script with multiple files to create a custom dataset.

Note

Please update data/dataset_info.json to use your custom dataset. About the format of this file, please refer to data/README.md.
