This repository contains code for reproducing the Stanford Alpaca results using low-rank adaptation (LoRA). We provide an Instruct model of similar quality to text-davinci-003 that can run on a Raspberry Pi (for research), and the code is easily extended to the 13b, 30b, and 65b models.

In addition to the training code, which runs within hours on a single RTX 4090, we publish a script for downloading and inference on the foundation model and LoRA, as well as the resulting LoRA weights themselves. To fine-tune cheaply and efficiently, we use Hugging Face's PEFT as well as Tim Dettmers' bitsandbytes.

Without hyperparameter tuning, the LoRA model produces outputs comparable to the Stanford Alpaca model. (Please see the outputs included below.) Further tuning might be able to achieve better performance; I invite interested users to give it a try and report their results.

Local Setup

1. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. If bitsandbytes doesn't work, install it from source. Windows users can follow these instructions.

Training (finetune.py)

This file contains a straightforward application of PEFT to the LLaMA model, as well as some code related to prompt construction and tokenization. PRs adapting this code to support larger models are always welcome.

Example usage:

python finetune.py \
    --base_model 'decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf' \
    --data_path 'yahma/alpaca-cleaned' \
    --output_dir './lora-alpaca'

We can also tweak our hyperparameters:

python finetune.py \
    --base_model 'decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf' \
    --data_path 'yahma/alpaca-cleaned' \
    --output_dir './lora-alpaca' \
    --batch_size 128 \
    --micro_batch_size 4 \
    --num_epochs 3 \
    --learning_rate 1e-4 \
    --cutoff_len 512 \
    --val_set_size 2000 \
    --lora_r 8 \
    --lora_alpha 16 \
    --lora_dropout 0.05 \
    --lora_target_modules '[q_proj,v_proj]' \
    --train_on_inputs \
    --group_by_length

Inference (generate.py)

This file reads the foundation model from the Hugging Face model hub and the LoRA weights from tloen/alpaca-lora-7b, and runs a Gradio interface for inference on a specified input. Users should treat this as example code for the use of the model, and modify it as needed.

Example usage:

python generate.py \
    --load_8bit \
    --base_model 'decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf' \
    --lora_weights 'tloen/alpaca-lora-7b'

Official weights

The most recent "official" Alpaca-LoRA adapter available at tloen/alpaca-lora-7b was trained on March 26 with the following command:

python finetune.py \
    --base_model='decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf' \
    --num_epochs=10 \
    --cutoff_len=512 \
    --group_by_length \
    --output_dir='./lora-alpaca' \
    --lora_target_modules='[q_proj,k_proj,v_proj,o_proj]' \
    --lora_r=16 \
    --micro_batch_size=8

Checkpoint export (export_*_checkpoint.py)

These files contain scripts that merge the LoRA weights back into the base model for export to Hugging Face format and to PyTorch state_dicts. They should help users who want to run inference in projects like llama.cpp or alpaca.cpp.

Docker Setup & Inference

1. Build the container image:

docker build -t alpaca-lora .

2. Run the container (you can also use finetune.py and all of its parameters as shown above for training):

docker run --gpus=all --shm-size 64g -p 7860:7860 -v ${HOME}/.cache:/root/.cache --rm alpaca-lora generate.py \
    --load_8bit \
    --base_model 'decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf' \
    --lora_weights 'tloen/alpaca-lora-7b'

3. Open https://localhost:7860 in the browser

Docker Compose Setup & Inference

1. (optional) Change desired model and weights under environment in the docker-compose.yml

2. Build and run the container

docker-compose up -d --build

3. Open https://localhost:7860 in the browser

4. See logs:

docker-compose logs -f

5. Clean everything up:

docker-compose down --volumes --rmi all

Notes

• We can likely improve our model performance significantly if we had a better dataset. Consider supporting the LAION Open Assistant effort to produce a high-quality dataset for supervised fine-tuning (or bugging them to release their data).
• We're continually fixing bugs and conducting training runs, and the weights on the Hugging Face Hub are being updated accordingly. In particular, those facing issues with response lengths should make sure that they have the latest version of the weights and code.
• Users with multiple GPUs should take a look here.
• We include the Stanford Alpaca dataset, which was made available under the ODC Attribution License.

Example outputs

Instruction: Tell me about alpacas.

Alpaca-LoRA: Alpacas are members of the camelid family and are native to the Andes Mountains of South America. They are known for their soft, luxurious fleece, which is used to make clothing, blankets, and other items. Alpacas are herbivores and graze on grasses and other plants. They are social animals and live in herds of up to 20 individuals.

Stanford Alpaca: Alpacas are small, fluffy animals related to camels and llamas. They are native to Peru and Bolivia, and were first domesticated around 5,000 years ago. They are kept mainly for their fine, soft fleece, which is used to make knitwear and other garments. Alpacas are herd animals and live in small family groups, led by an older male. They are highly social animals and can form strong bonds with their owners.

text-davinci-003: Alpacas are a domesticated species of South American camelid, similar to llamas. They are native to the Andes Mountains in South America and are kept as livestock for their soft, luxurious wool. Alpacas are social animals and live in herds of up to 20 individuals. They are typically kept in small herds of two to five animals, and are relatively easy to care for. Alpacas are herbivores and feed on grass, hay, and other vegetation. They are also known for their gentle and friendly nature, making them popular as pets.

Instruction: Tell me about the president of Mexico in 2019.

Alpaca-LoRA: The president of Mexico in 2019 was Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who took office on December 1, 2018. He is a member of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) political party and is the first left-wing president of Mexico since 1946. He is known for his anti-corruption and anti-neoliberal policies, as well as his commitment to improving the living conditions of the Mexican people.

Stanford Alpaca: In 2019, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was sworn in as President of Mexico. He is the country’s 58th president and the first from the left-wing Morena party. He was elected in 2018 on a promise to combat corruption and reduce poverty and has faced criticism for his handling of the economy, crime and the country’s relationship with the United States. He is also known for his ambitious social welfare programs and has been praised for raising the minimum wage and providing aid to low-income families. He is seen as a champion of democracy and human rights in Mexico.

text-davinci-003: The president of Mexico in 2019 is Andrés Manuel López Obrador, commonly known as AMLO. He is a Mexican politician who has been the President of Mexico since December 1, 2018. He is a member of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) party and previously served as the Head of Government of Mexico City from 2000 to 2005. He is a left-wing populist and has promised to reduce corruption and inequality in Mexico. He has also promised to increase public spending on social programs and infrastructure projects.

Instruction: Tell me about the king of France in 2019.

Alpaca-LoRA: The King of France in 2019 is Emmanuel Macron, who was elected in May 2017. He is the youngest president in the history of the Fifth Republic and the first president to be born after World War II. He is also the first president to have never held elected office before.

Stanford Alpaca: In 2019, the King of France was Emmanuel Macron. He was sworn in as President of France on May 14, 2017, and has been leading the country ever since. He is a member of the centrist La République En Marche! Party. He is known for his reformist agenda and has faced a number of protests from both the right and left of the political spectrum. He is the youngest French president in history.

text-davinci-003: The King of France is a largely symbolic role, as France is a republic. The current President of France is Emmanuel Macron, who was elected in 2017.
