Our package has been tested on Linux OS (Ubuntu 20.04). Other OS platforms (MacOS, Windows) are not fully tested, where you may encounter unexpected errors. If you are using LMFlow for the first time, we recommend you to try on a Linux machine or Google Colab.
CUDA versions 10.3-11.7 are supported in versions v0.0.5 or older. For CUDA versions greater than 11.7, one can use our stable branch >= v0.0.6.
git clone -b v0.0.9 https://github.com/OptimalScale/LMFlow.git
cd LMFlow
conda create -n lmflow python=3.9 -y
conda activate lmflow
conda install mpi4py
pip install -e .Tip
We use WandB to track and visualize the training process by default. Before running the training scripts, users may need to log in to WandB using the command:
wandb loginFor detailed instructions, refer to the WandB Quickstart Guide. Step 1 (registration) and Step 2 (login using your WandB API key) should be sufficient to set up your environment.
Disabling wandb
One can disable wandb by either:
- Adding environment variable before running the training command.
export WANDB_MODE=disabled- OR, specifying the integrations to report the results and logs to. In the training script, add:
--report_to none \Please refer to our doc.
Full training updates all the parameters to finetune a language model. Here is an example to finetune a GPT-2 base model.
cd data && ./download.sh alpaca && cd -
bash ./scripts/run_finetune.sh \
--model_name_or_path gpt2 \
--dataset_path data/alpaca/train_conversation \
--output_model_path output_models/finetuned_gpt2Tip
For conversation dataset, specify a conversation template for better performance by adding --conversation_template to the command.

--output_model_path output_models/lora_merged \After finetuning, you can run the following command to chat with the model.
bash ./scripts/run_chatbot.sh output_models/finetuned_gpt2Tip
We recommend using vLLM for faster inference.

pip install gradio
python ./examples/chatbot_gradio.py --deepspeed configs/ds_config_chatbot.json --model_name_or_path YOUR-LLAMA --lora_model_path ./robin-7b --prompt_structure "A chat between a curious human and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the human's questions.###Human: {input_text}###Assistant:" --end_string "#" --max_new_tokens 200LMFlow Benchmark is an automatic evaluation framework for open-source large language models. We use negative log likelihood (NLL) as the metric to evaluate different aspects of a language model: chitchat, commonsense reasoning, and instruction following abilities.
You can directly run the LMFlow benchmark evaluation to obtain the results to participate in the LLM comparision. For example, to run GPT2 XL, one may execute
bash ./scripts/run_benchmark.sh --model_name_or_path gpt2-xl--model_name_or_path is required, you may fill in huggingface model name or local model path here.
To check the evaluation results, you may check benchmark.log in ./output_dir/gpt2-xl_lmflow_chat_nll_eval,
./output_dir/gpt2-xl_all_nll_eval and ./output_dir/gpt2-xl_commonsense_qa_eval.

LISA: Layerwise Importance Sampling for Memory-Efficient Large Language Model Fine-Tuning
LISA is a novel and memory-efficient training strategy for large language models that outperforms existing methods like LoRA by selectively freezing layers during optimization. Check out LISA for more details.
In LMFLow, activate LISA using--use_lisa 1in your training command. Control the number of activation layers with--lisa_activated_layers 2, and adjust the freezing layers interval using--lisa_step_interval 20. -
LoRA
LoRA is a parameter-efficient finetuning algorithm and is more efficient than full finetuning. Check out finetuning-lora for more details.
-
FlashAttention
LMFlow supports both FlashAttention-1 and the latest FlashAttention-2. Check out flash_attention for more details.

LMFlow now supports custom optimizer training with a variety of optimizers. Elevate your model's performance with tailored optimization strategies. Dive into the details and try out the new features with our updated script at custom_optimizers.
The following table evaluates the performance of custom optimizers in the fine-tuning process of GPT-2 on the Alpaca dataset, emphasizing their individual impacts on the training loss. The specific hyperparameter settings utilize default configurations, which can be customized and adjusted at custom_optimizers. It is important to note that the evaluations were conducted over a duration of 0.1 epochs to provide a preliminary insight into the optimizers' effectiveness.
