YaRN

This repo contains the code and data for the YaRN context window extension method.

Preprint

Preprint v2 (arXiv): YaRN: Efficient Context Window Extension of Large Language Models

Models

LLaMA

We publish variants of Llama 2 fine-tuned with YaRN at 32K, 64K and 128K context window length. They are available under the Llama 2 license on 🤗 Hugging Face.

Size	Context	Link
7B	64K	NousResearch/Yarn-Llama-2-7b-64k
7B	128K	NousResearch/Yarn-Llama-2-7b-128k
13B	64K	NousResearch/Yarn-Llama-2-13b-64k
13B	128K	NousResearch/Yarn-Llama-2-13b-128k
70B	32K	NousResearch/Yarn-Llama-2-70b-32k

In addition, we also publish 8K context window versions of Llama 2 7B fine-tuned with NTK-aware and YaRN (Table 1 in the conference paper).

Mistral

With the release of v2 of our paper we are also publishing 64K and 128K variants of Mistral 7B v0.1.

Reproduction

We strongly believe in open science, and thus publish all code and data to reproduce the results in our paper. To reproduce, clone the repository and perform a local installation.

git clone https://github.com/jquesnelle/yarn
cd yarn
pip install -e .

Training

To train the models, run accelerate config and enable DeepSpeed acceleration. deepspeed/zero3.json was the configuration file used for training.

# ./train.sh

The tokenized training data is available on 🤗Hugging Face and was derived from the pg19 dataset. For the Mistral models, a mix of the pretrain and fine-tune splits of Long-Data-Collections was used and the tokenized dataset is also available on 🤗Hugging Face.

Evaluation

To reproduce the evaluations, install lm-evaluation-harness with pip install git+https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness and then run the two provided scripts.

# ./eval.sh
# ./eval-harness.sh
