simple-llm-finetuner VS alpaca-lora

Just the appropriate reddit groups and follow folks on twitter, plus use a search engine.

1. Learn to run a model, checkout llama.cpp Tons of free models on huggingface.com

2. Learn to finetune a model - https://github.com/lxe/simple-llm-finetuner

3. Learn to train one. PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace libraries, etc.

Good luck.

So as far as set up goes, you just need to: “”” Git clone https://github.com/lxe/simple-llama-finetuner Cd simple-llama-finetuner Pip install -r requirements.txt Python app.py ## if you’re on a remote machine (Paperspace is my go to) then you may need to edit the last line of this script to set ‘share=True’ in the launch args “””

oobabooga's textgen webui has a tab for fine tuning now. You only need a single consumer GPU to fine tune up to 33B parameter models at a rate of about 200 epochs per hour, per GPU.

There are also one-click finetuning projects which run on free Google Colab GPUs like https://github.com/lxe/simple-llama-finetuner

It's easy and not complex at all.

for a single 4090, easiest way to get started and simple to use: https://github.com/lxe/simple-llama-finetuner

Here is a example: https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/blob/main/finetune.py

In this blog post, I want to make it as simple as possible to fine-tune the LLaMA 2 - 7B model, using as little code as possible. We will be using the Alpaca Lora Training script, which automates the process of fine-tuning the model and for GPU we will be using Beam.

Implement the code in Llama LoRA repo in a script we can run locally

Hi all - relatively new to GitHub / programming in general, and I wanted to try to set up Alpaca Lora locally. Following the guide here: https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora

Follow up the popular work of u/tloen alpaca-lora, I wrapped the setup of alpaca_lora_4bit to add support for GPTQ training in form of installable pip packages. You can perform training and inference with multiple quantizations method to compare the results.

If instead you want to apply a LoRa to a pytorch model, a lot of people use this script to apply to LoRa to the 16 bit model and then quantize it with a GPTQ program afterwards https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/blob/main/export_hf_checkpoint.py

There are a few papers on watermarking LLM output, but from what I have seen they all use complex methods of detection to allow the watermark to go unseen by the end user, only to be detected by algorithm. I believe that a more overt system of watermarking might also be beneficial. One simple method that I have tried is character substitution. For this model, I LORA finetuned openlm-research/open_llama_3b on the alpaca_data_cleaned_archive.json dataset from https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/ modified by replacing all instances of the "." character in the outputs with a "ι" The results are pretty good, with the correct the correct substitutions being generated by the model in most cases. It doesn't always work, but this was only a LORA training and for two epochs of 400 steps each, and 100% substitution isn't really required.

I am kind of new to finetuning LLM's and am not able to understand what this option exactly refers to. I guess it has the same meaning as the "train_on_inputs" parameter of alpacalora though.
