### Quick Install {#sec-uv}
```{.bash}
pip3 install -U packaging setuptools wheel ninja
pip3 install --no-build-isolation axolotl[flash-attn,deepspeed]
```
Axolotl uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) as its package manager. uv is a fast, reliable Python package installer and resolver built in Rust.
We use `--no-build-isolation` in order to detect the installed PyTorch version (if
installed) in order not to clobber it, and so that we set the correct version of
dependencies that are specific to the PyTorch version or other installed
co-dependencies.
### uv Installation {#sec-uv}
uv is a fast, reliable Python package installer and resolver built in Rust. It offers significant performance improvements over pip and provides better dependency resolution, making it an excellent choice for complex environments.
Install uv if not already installed
Install uv if not already installed:
```{.bash}
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

then create the venv and activate
Choose your CUDA version (e.g. `cu128`, `cu130`), create a venv, and install:

```{.bash}
uv pip install packaging setuptools wheel
uv pip install torch==2.6.0
uv pip install awscli pydantic
```
Install axolotl from PyPi

title: "Unsloth"
description: "Hyper-optimized QLoRA finetuning for single GPUs"
---
### Overview
Unsloth provides hand-written optimized kernels for LLM finetuning that slightly improve speed and VRAM over
standard industry baselines.
::: {.callout-important}
Due to breaking changes in transformers `v4.48.0`, users will need to downgrade to `<=v4.47.1` to use this patch.
This will later be deprecated in favor of [LoRA Optimizations](lora_optims.qmd).
:::
### Installation
The following will install the correct unsloth and extras from source.
```bash
python scripts/unsloth_install.py | sh
```
### Usage
Axolotl exposes a few configuration options to try out unsloth and get most of the performance gains.
Our unsloth integration is currently limited to the following model architectures:
- llama
These options are specific to LoRA finetuning and cannot be used for multi-GPU finetuning
```yaml
unsloth_lora_mlp: true
unsloth_lora_qkv: true
unsloth_lora_o: true
```
These options are composable and can be used with multi-gpu finetuning
```yaml
unsloth_cross_entropy_loss: true
unsloth_rms_norm: true
unsloth_rope: true
```
### Limitations
- Single GPU only; e.g. no multi-gpu support
- No deepspeed or FSDP support (requires multi-gpu)
- LoRA + QLoRA support only. No full fine tunes or fp8 support.
- Limited model architecture support. Llama, Phi, Gemma, Mistral only
- No MoE support.
