+title: Batch size vs Gradient accumulation
+description: Understanding of batch size and gradient accumulation steps
+---
+
+Gradient accumulation means accumulating gradients over several mini-batches and updating the model weights afterward. When the samples in each batch are diverse, this technique doesn't significantly impact learning.
+
+This method allows for effective training with larger effective batch sizes without needing proportionally larger memory. Here's why:
+
+1. **Memory Consumption with Batch Size**: The primary reason increasing the batch size impacts memory is due to the storage requirements for intermediate activations. When you forward propagate a batch through a network, you have to store the activations at each layer for each sample in the batch, because these activations are used during backpropagation to compute gradients. Therefore, larger batches mean more activations, leading to greater GPU memory consumption.
+
+2. **Gradient Accumulation**: With gradient accumulation, you're effectively simulating a larger batch size by accumulating gradients over several smaller batches (or micro-batches). However, at any given time, you're only forward and backward propagating a micro-batch. This means you only store activations for the micro-batch, not the full accumulated batch. As a result, you can simulate the effect of a larger batch size without the memory cost of storing activations for a large batch.
+
+**Example 1:**
+Micro batch size: 3
+Gradient accumulation steps: 2
+Number of GPUs: 3
+Total batch size = 3 * 2 * 3 = 18
+
+```

+title: Dataset Preprocessing
+description: How datasets are processed
+---
+
+Dataset pre-processing is the step where Axolotl takes each dataset you've configured alongside
+the (dataset format)[../dataset-formats/] and prompt strategies to:
+ - parse the dataset based on the *dataset format*
+ - transform the dataset to how you would interact with the model based on the *prompt strategy*
+ - tokenize the dataset based on the configured model & tokenizer
+ - shuffle and merge multiple datasets together if using more than one
+
+The processing of the datasets can happen one of two ways:
+
+1. Before kicking off training by calling `python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess /path/to/your.yaml --debug`
+2. When training is started
+
+What are the benefits of pre-processing? When training interactively or for sweeps
+(e.g. you are restarting the trainer often), processing the datasets can oftentimes be frustratingly
+slow. Pre-processing will cache the tokenized/formatted datasets according to a hash of dependent
+training parameters so that it will intelligently pull from its cache when possible.
+
+The path of the cache is controlled by `dataset_prepared_path:` and is often left blank in example
+YAMLs as this leads to a more robust solution that prevents unexpectedly reusing cached data.
+
+If `dataset_prepared_path:` is left empty, when training, the processed dataset will be cached in a
+default path of `./last_run_prepared/`, but will ignore anything already cached there. By explicitly
+setting `dataset_prepared_path: ./last_run_prepared`, the trainer will use whatever pre-processed
+data is in the cache.
+
+What are the edge cases? Let's say you are writing a custom prompt strategy or using a user-defined
+prompt template. Because the trainer cannot readily detect these changes, we cannot change the
+calculated hash value for the pre-processed dataset. If you have `dataset_prepared_path: ...` set
+and change your prompt templating logic, it may not pick up the changes you made and you will be
+training over the old prompt.

+
+## General Tips
+
+While debugging it's helpful to simplify your test scenario as much as possible.  Here are some tips for doing so:
+
+> [!Important]
+> All of these tips are incorporated into the [example configuration](#configuration) for debugging with VSCode below.
+
+1. **Make sure you are using the latest version of axolotl**:  This project changes often and bugs get fixed fast.  Check your git branch and make sure you have pulled the latest changes from `main`.
+1. **Eliminate concurrency**: Restrict the number of processes to 1 for both training and data preprocessing:
+    - Set `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` to a single GPU, ex: `export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0`.
+    - Set `dataset_processes: 1` in your axolotl config or run the training command with `--dataset_processes=1`.
+2. **Use a small dataset**: Construct or use a small dataset from HF Hub. When using a small dataset, you will often have to make sure `sample_packing: False` and `eval_sample_packing: False` to avoid errors.  If you are in a pinch and don't have time to construct a small dataset but want to use from the HF Hub, you can shard the data (this will still tokenize the entire dataset, but will only use a fraction of the data for training.  For example, to shard the dataset into 20 pieces, add the following to your axolotl config):
+    ```yaml
+    dataset:
+        ...
+        shards: 20
+    ```
+3. **Use a small model**: A good example of a small model is [TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0).
+4. **Minimize iteration time**: Make sure the training loop finishes as fast as possible, with these settings.
+    - `micro_batch_size: 1`
+    - `max_steps: 1`
+    - `val_set_size: 0`
+5. **Clear Caches:** Axolotl caches certain steps and so does the underlying HuggingFace trainer.  You may want to clear some of these caches when debugging.
+    - Data preprocessing: When debugging data preprocessing, which includes prompt template formation, you may want to delete the directory set in `dataset_prepared_path:` in your axolotl config.  If you didn't set this value, the default is `last_run_prepared`.
+    - HF Hub: If you are debugging data preprocessing, you should clear the relevant HF cache [HuggingFace cache](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/cache), by deleting the appropriate `~/.cache/huggingface/datasets/...` folder(s).
+    - **The recommended approach is to redirect all outputs and caches to a temporary folder and delete selected subfolders before each run.  This is demonstrated in the example configuration below.**
+
+
+## Debugging with VSCode
+
+### Background
+
+The below example shows how to configure VSCode to debug data preprocessing of the `sharegpt` format.  This is the format used when you have the following in your axolotl config:
+
+```yaml
+datasets:
+  - path: <path to your sharegpt formatted dataset> # example on HF Hub: philschmid/guanaco-sharegpt-style
+    type: sharegpt
+```
+
+>[!Important]
+> If you are already familiar with advanced VSCode debugging, you can skip the below explanation and look at the files [.vscode/launch.json](../.vscode/launch.json) and [.vscode/tasks.json](../.vscode/tasks.json) for an example configuration.
+
+>[!Tip]
+> If you prefer to watch a video, rather than read, you can skip to the [video tutorial](#video-tutorial) below (but doing both is recommended).
+
+### Setup
+
+Make sure you have an [editable install](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/development_mode.html) of Axolotl, which ensures that changes you make to the code are reflected at runtime.  Run the following commands from the root of this project:
+
+```bash
+pip3 install packaging
+pip3 install -e '.[flash-attn,deepspeed]'
+```
+
+#### Remote Hosts
+
+If you developing on a remote host, you can easily use VSCode to debug remotely.  To do so, you will need to follow this [remote - SSH guide](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh).  You can also see the video below on [Docker and Remote SSH debugging](#video---attaching-to-docker-on-remote-host).
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+The easiest way to get started is to modify the [.vscode/launch.json](../.vscode/launch.json) file in this project.  This is just an example configuration, so you may need to modify or copy it to suit your needs.
+
+For example, to mimic the command `cd devtools && CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.train dev_sharegpt.yml`, you would use the below configuration[^1].  Note that we add additional flags that override the axolotl config and incorporate the tips above (see the comments). We also set the working directory to `devtools` and set the `env` variable `HF_HOME` to a temporary folder that is later partially deleted.  This is because we want to delete the HF dataset cache before each run in order to ensure that the data preprocessing code is run from scratch.
+
+```jsonc
+// .vscode/launch.json
+{
+    "version": "0.2.0",
+    "configurations": [
+        {
+            "name": "Debug axolotl prompt - sharegpt",
+            "type": "python",
+            "module": "accelerate.commands.launch",
+            "request": "launch",
+            "args": [
+                "-m", "axolotl.cli.train", "dev_sharegpt.yml",
+                // The flags below simplify debugging by overriding the axolotl config
+                // with the debugging tips above.  Modify as needed.
+                "--dataset_processes=1",      // limits data preprocessing to one process
+                "--max_steps=1",              // limits training to just one step
+                "--batch_size=1",             // minimizes batch size
+                "--micro_batch_size=1",       // minimizes batch size
+                "--val_set_size=0",           // disables validation
+                "--sample_packing=False",     // disables sample packing which is necessary for small datasets
+                "--eval_sample_packing=False",// disables sample packing on eval set
+                "--dataset_prepared_path=temp_debug/axolotl_outputs/data", // send data outputs to a temp folder
+                "--output_dir=temp_debug/axolotl_outputs/model" // send model outputs to a temp folder
+                ],
+            "console": "integratedTerminal",      // show output in the integrated terminal
+            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/devtools", // set working directory to devtools from the root of the project
+            "justMyCode": true,                   // step through only axolotl code
+            "env": {"CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES": "0",  // Since we aren't doing distributed training, we need to limit to one GPU
+                    "HF_HOME": "${workspaceFolder}/devtools/temp_debug/.hf-cache"}, // send HF cache to a temp folder
+            "preLaunchTask": "cleanup-for-dataprep", // delete temp folders (see below)
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+**Additional notes about this configuration:**
+
+- The argument `justMyCode` is set to `true` such that you step through only the axolotl code.  If you want to step into dependencies, set this to `false`.
+- The `preLaunchTask`: `cleanup-for-dataprep` is defined in [.vscode/tasks.json](../.vscode/tasks.json) and is used to delete the following folders before debugging, which is essential to ensure that the data pre-processing code is run from scratch:
+    -  `./devtools/temp_debug/axolotl_outputs`
+    - `./devtools/temp_debug/.hf-cache/datasets`
+
+>[!Tip]
+> You may not want to delete these folders. For example, if you are debugging model training instead of data pre-processing, you may NOT want to delete the cache or output folders. You may also need to add additional tasks to the `tasks.json` file depending on your use case.
+
+Below is the [./vscode/tasks.json](../.vscode/tasks.json) file that defines the `cleanup-for-dataprep` task.  This task is run before each debugging session when you use the above configuration.  Note how there are two tasks that delete the two folders mentioned above.  The third task `cleanup-for-dataprep` is a composite task that combines the two tasks.  A composite task is necessary because VSCode does not allow you to specify multiple tasks in the `preLaunchTask` argument of the `launch.json` file.
+
+```jsonc
+// .vscode/tasks.json
+// this file is used by launch.json
+{
+    "version": "2.0.0",
+    "tasks": [
+      // this task changes into the devtools directory and deletes the temp_debug/axolotl_outputs folder
+      {
+        "label": "delete-outputs",
+        "type": "shell",
+        "command": "rm -rf temp_debug/axolotl_outputs",
+        "options":{ "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/devtools"},
+        "problemMatcher": []
+      },
+      // this task changes into the devtools directory and deletes the `temp_debug/.hf-cache/datasets` folder
+      {
+        "label": "delete-temp-hf-dataset-cache",
+        "type": "shell",
+        "command": "rm -rf temp_debug/.hf-cache/datasets",
+        "options":{ "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/devtools"},
+        "problemMatcher": []
+      },
+        // this task combines the two tasks above
+      {
+       "label": "cleanup-for-dataprep",
+       "dependsOn": ["delete-outputs", "delete-temp-hf-dataset-cache"],
+      }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Customizing your debugger
+
+Your debugging use case may differ from the example above.  The easiest thing to do is to put your own axolotl config in the `devtools` folder and modify the `launch.json` file to use your config.  You may also want to modify the `preLaunchTask` to delete different folders or not delete anything at all.

+
+## Debugging With Docker
+
+Using [official Axolotl Docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/winglian/axolotl/tags) is a great way to debug your code, and is a very popular way to use Axolotl.  Attaching VSCode to Docker takes a few more steps.
+
+### Setup
+
+On the host that is running axolotl (ex: if you are using a remote host), clone the axolotl repo and change your current directory to the root:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl
+cd axolotl
+```
+
+>[!Tip]
+> If you already have axolotl cloned on your host, make sure you have the latest changes and change into the root of the project.
+
+Next, run the desired docker image and mount the current directory. Below is a docker command you can run to do this:[^2]
+
+```bash
+docker run --privileged --gpus '"all"' --shm-size 10g --rm -it --name axolotl --ipc=host --ulimit memlock=-1 --ulimit stack=67108864 --mount type=bind,src="${PWD}",target=/workspace/axolotl -v ${HOME}/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface winglian/axolotl:main-py3.10-cu118-2.0.1
+```
+
+>[!Tip]
+> To understand which containers are available, see the [Docker section of the README](../README.md#docker) and the [DockerHub repo](https://hub.docker.com/r/winglian/axolotl/tags).  For details of how the Docker containers are built, see axolotl's [Docker CI builds](../.github/workflows/main.yml).
+
+You will now be in the container.  Next, perform an editable install of Axolotl:
+
+```bash
+pip3 install packaging
+pip3 install -e '.[flash-attn,deepspeed]'
+```
+
+### Attach To Container
+
+Next, if you are using a remote host, [Remote into this host with VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh).  If you are using a local host, you can skip this step.
+
+Next, select `Dev Containers: Attach to Running Container...` using the command palette (`CMD + SHIFT + P`) in VSCode.  You will be prompted to select a container to attach to.  Select the container you just created.  You will now be in the container with a working directory that is at the root of the project.  Any changes you make to the code will be reflected both in the container and on the host.
+
+Now you are ready to debug as described above (see [Debugging with VSCode](#debugging-with-vscode)).
+
+### Video - Attaching To Docker On Remote Host
+
+Here is a short video that demonstrates how to attach to a Docker container on a remote host:

+
+## Background
+
+Using FSDP with QLoRA is essential for **fine-tuning larger (70b+ parameter) LLMs on consumer GPUs.**  For example, you can use FSDP + QLoRA to train a 70b model on two 24GB GPUs[^1].
+
+Below, we describe how to use this feature in Axolotl.
+
+## Usage
+
+To enable `QLoRA` with `FSDP`, you need to perform the following steps:
+
+> ![Tip]
+> See the [example config](#example-config) file in addition to reading these instructions.
+
+1. Set `adapter: qlora` in your axolotl config file.
+2. Enable FSDP in your axolotl config, as [described here](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl?tab=readme-ov-file#fsdp).
+3. Use one of the supported model types: `llama`, `mistral` or `mixtral`.
+
+## Example Config

+
+### Masking Inputs
+
+One of the most popular features of
+[axolotl](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl) is
+setting the following configuration value:
+
+
+```yaml
+train_on_inputs: false
+```
+
+If you declare a [dataset formats](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl?tab=readme-ov-file#dataset)
+such as `alpaca` or `chatml`, axolotl knows what is an input
+(i.e. human) vs. an output (i.e. the assistant) and masks the input
+labels so that your model can focus on predicting the outputs only.
+
+<a id="markdown-you-may-not-want-prompt-templates" name="you-may-not-want-prompt-templates"></a>
+
+### You may not want prompt templates
+
+However, there are many situations where you don't want to use one of
+these formats or templates. This is because they can:
+
+-   Add unnecessary boilerplate to your prompts.
+-   Create artifacts like special delimiters `<|im_start|>` that can
+    quickly become footguns if you don't include them correctly at
+    inference time.
+-   Enforce a *chat* interface when you do not want one. Sometimes you
+    just want to fine-tune a model to a very specific task and do NOT
+    want multi-turn conversations, roles, etc.
+-   Limit you to only certain roles that the template allows.
+
+<a id="markdown-the-inputoutput-format" name="the-inputoutput-format"></a>
+
+### The `input_output` format
+
+You can construct your prompts without a template by using the
+`input_output` format, by setting `type: input_output` in your
+configuration file like this:
+
+**config.yml**
+
+```yaml
+train_on_inputs: false # Mask segments of your data
+datasets:
+  - path: output.jsonl
+    type: input_output  # use template free prompt construction
+```
+
+Unlike `type: completion`, which is also template-free,
+`type: input_output` allows you to mask segments of your text. More
+details on how this works are described below.
+
+<a id="markdown-usage" name="usage"></a>
+
+## Usage
+
+This is how you can use the `input_output` format:
+
+<a id="markdown-1-prepare-data" name="1-prepare-data"></a>
+
+### 1. Prepare Data
+
+To use the `input_output` format, collect your data in the following
+format into a jsonl file (below is the first row from the file
+`output`.jsonl` pretty printed):
+
+```bash
+$ head -n1 output.jsonl | python -m json.tool
+```
+
+:::{.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}
+    {
+        "segments": [
+            {
+                "label": true,

+Set `label:false` when you want to mask a segment of text so that the
+model isn't trained on it. Some things to keep in mind:
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> 1.  **EOS, BOS, spaces, newlines etc. are entirely up to you. Axolotl
+    concatenates all the segments as-is.** The tokenizer doesn't add
+    anything additional. Notice how I added spaces, newlines, `<s>`
+    (BOS), and `</s>` (EOS) myself.
+> 2.  Make sure you check the materialized output to validate that the
+    prompt is getting assembled how you like.
+
+<a id="markdown-2-use-type-inputoutput" name="2-use-type-inputoutput"></a>
+
+### 2. Use `type: input_output`
+
+Let's materialize data with our `output.jsonl` file by setting
+`type: input_output` in our axolotl config:
+
+```yaml
+# training_config.yaml
+base_model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1
+data_seed: 49
+seed: 49
+
+datasets:
+  - path: output.jsonl
+    type: input_output
+val_set_size: 0.1
+
+sequence_len: 896
+sample_packing: false
+
+micro_batch_size: 2
+gradient_accumulation_steps: 3
+eval_batch_size: 2
+num_epochs: 1
+learning_rate: 0.0002
+
+train_on_inputs: false
+special_tokens:
+  bos_token: "<s>"
+  eos_token: "</s>"
+  unk_token: "<unk>"
+```
+
+You can use the following command to materialize your data. The
+`--debug` flag will print the tokens, along with the labels so you can
+verify that the correct items are being ignored:
+
+```bash
+$ python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess training_config.yaml --debug
+
+...
+[2024-03-05 23:36:46,969] [INFO] [axolotl.check_example_labels:35] [PID:607731] [RANK:0] <s>(1, 1) Hello(22557, 22557)
+(13, 13) hi(12014, 12014) there(736, 736) !(28808, 28808) .(28723, 28723) (28705, 28705) good(-100, 1179) bye(-100, 17664) (-100, 28705) fare(19111, 19111) well(5458, 5458) </s>(2, 2)
+
+```
+
+The format is `decoded_token`(`label`, `token_id`), for example,
+`<s>(1, 1)` means that the token is `<s>`, the label is `1` and the
+token_id is `1`. When the label is `-100` then that token is ignored for
+training.
+
+<a id="markdown-3-check-the-prompts" name="3-check-the-prompts"></a>
+
+### 3. Check the prompts
+
+Here is another way to check the materialized output:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+from datasets import load_from_disk
+import yaml
+
+directory = !ls last_run_prepared/
+with open('training_config.yaml', 'r') as f:
+    cfg = yaml.safe_load(f)
+model_id = cfg['base_model']
+tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
+ds = load_from_disk(f'last_run_prepared/{directory[0]}/')
+```
+
+```python
+>>> row = ds[0]
+>>> print(tok.decode(row['input_ids']))
+<s> Hello
+    hi there!.  goodbye  farewell</s>
+```
+
+We can check that the right tokens are ingored by comparing the labels
+to each token:
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+pd.DataFrame([{'token': tok.decode(i), 'label': l, 'id':i} for i,l in
+              zip(row['input_ids'], row['labels'])])
+```
+
+| token | label | id    |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| 0     | \<s\> | 1     |
+| 1     | Hello | 22557 |
+| 2     | \\n   | 13    |
+| 3     | hi    | 12014 |
+| 4     | there | 736   |
+| 5     | !     | 28808 |
+| 6     | .     | 28723 |
+| 7     |       | 28705 |
+| 8     | good  | -100  |
+| 9     | bye   | -100  |
+| 10    |       | -100  |
+| 11    | fare  | 19111 |
+| 12    | well  | 5458  |
+| 13    | \</s\>| 2     |
+
+
+
+If we look at the input data, the above table seems correct! (The jsonl
+version is repeated below for reference):
+
+
+```bash
+$ head -n1 output.jsonl | python -m json.tool
+```
+
+:::{.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}
+    {
+        "segments": [
+            {

+
+~/.cache/huggingface/accelerate/default_config.yaml
+```yaml
+compute_environment: LOCAL_MACHINE

+same_network: true
+tpu_env: []
+tpu_use_cluster: false

+```
+
+## Machine configuration
+
+On each machine you need a copy of Axolotl, we suggest using the same commit to ensure compatibility.
+
+You will also need to have the same configuration file for your model on each machine.
+
+On the main machine only, make sure the port you set as `main_process_port` is open in TCP and reachable by other machines.
+
+All you have to do now is launch using accelerate as you would usually do on each machine and voila, the processes will start once you have launched accelerate on every machine.

+Multipack can still be achieved without Flash attention, but with lower packing

+title: NCCL
+description: Troubleshooting NCCL issues
+---
+
+NVIDIA NCCL is a library to facilitate and optimize multi-GPU communication operations, such as broadcast, all-gather, reduce, all-reduce, etc. Broadly, NCCL configuration is highly environment-specific and is configured via several [environment variables](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/env.html). A common NCCL-related problem occurs when a long-running operation times out causing the training process to abort:
+
+```text
+Watchdog caught collective operation timeout: WorkNCCL(SeqNum=42, OpType=ALLGATHER, Timeout(ms)=1800000) ran for 1806948 milliseconds before timing out.
+```
+
+Often, this timeout will happen after 30 minutes (the default setting) and is accompanied by below-average power consumption with near 100% GPU utilization before the error is raised. Nvidia recommends [disabling PCI access control services (ACS)](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/troubleshooting.html#pci-access-control-services-acs) as a possible solution if this is available to you.
+
+Forcing cross-GPU communication via [NVLink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVLink) may help without increasing timeouts. To verify that your configuration is leveraging NVLink run the following command:
+
+```shell
+nvidia-smi nvlink --status
+```
+
+To force NCCL to use NVLink, simply set this in the environment:
+
+```shell
+export NCCL_P2P_LEVEL=NVL
+```
+
+If NVLink is not available in your environment there are other options for ``NCCL_P2P_LEVEL`` in the table below:
+
+| NCCL_P2P_LEVEL | Description |
+| -------------- | ----------- |
+| PIX | P2P data transfers through no more than a single PCIe bridge. Faster data transfer rates vs to paths involving multiple bridges, but slower compared to direct GPU-to-GPU communication. |
+| PXB | P2P data transfers through multiple PCIe bridges but not going through the PCIe Host Bridge; this path involves a complex routing process, potentially incurring a moderate level of latency. |
+| PHB | P2P data transfers occur over the PCIe and through a PCIe Host Bridge, typically involving the CPU, which can facilitate direct memory access but might introduce additional latency compared to more direct paths (ex PIX, NVL) |
+
+To validate that acceptable data transfer speeds exist for your training job, running [NCCL Tests](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nccl-tests/blob/master/README.md) can help pinpoint bottlenecks, for example:
+
+```shell
+./build/all_reduce_perf -b 8 -e 128M -f 2 -g 3
+```
+
+It can be useful when debugging NCCL communication timeouts to activate additional logging in both PyTorch and NCCL:
+
+```shell
+export NCCL_DEBUG=INFO
+export NCCL_DEBUG_SUBSYS=ALL
+export TORCH_DISTRIBUTED_DEBUG=INFO
+export TORCHELASTIC_ERROR_FILE=/PATH/TO/torcherror.log
+```
+
+Finally, if you believe your training job needs more time you can increase the timeout past 30 minutes by setting the ``ddp_timeout`` value in the Axolotl configuration. See [PyTorch init_process_group](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/distributed.html#torch.distributed.init_process_group) for documentation on this value.

+
+### Overview
+
+Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback is a method whereby a language model is optimized from data using human
+feedback. Various methods include, but not limited to:
+
+- Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) (not yet supported in axolotl)
+- Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)
+- Identity Preference Optimization (IPO)
+
+
+### RLHF using Axolotl
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>This is a BETA feature and many features are not fully implemented. You are encouraged to open new PRs to improve the integration and functionality.
+
+The various RL training methods are implemented in trl and wrapped via axolotl. Below are various examples with how you can use various preference datasets to train models that use ChatML
+
+#### DPO
+```yaml

+chat_template: chatml
+datasets:

+
+#### Using local dataset files
+```yaml
+datasets:
+  - ds_type: json
+    data_files:
+      - orca_rlhf.jsonl
+    split: train
+    type: chatml.intel
+```
+
+#### Trl autounwrap for peft
+
+Trl supports autounwrapping peft models, so that a ref model does not need to be additionally loaded, leading to less VRAM needed. This is on by default. To turn it off, pass the following config.
+
+```yaml
+# load ref model when adapter training.

+
+### Overview
+
+Unsloth provides hand-written optimized kernels for LLM finetuning that slightly improve speed and VRAM over
+standard industry baselines.
+
+
+### Installation
+
+The following will install unsloth from source and downgrade xformers as unsloth is incompatible with the most up
+to date libraries.
+
+```bash
+pip install --no-deps "unsloth @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
+pip install --no-deps --force-reinstall xformers==0.0.26.post1
+```
+
+### Using unsloth w Axolotl
+
+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.

+# Overview
+
+This is an example of CodeLLaMA configuration for 7b, 13b and 34b.
+
+The 7b variant fits on any 24GB VRAM GPU and will take up about 17 GB of VRAM during training if using qlora and 20 GB if using lora. On a RTX 4090 it trains 3 epochs of the default dataset in about 15 minutes.
+
+The 13b variant will fit if you change these settings to these values:
+gradient_accumulation_steps: 2
+micro_batch_size: 1
+
+The 34b variant does not fit on 24GB of VRAM - you will need something with +40 gb VRAM that also supports flash attention v2 - A6000 or A100 are good choices.

+# DBRX MoE
+
+Currently, for LoRA, only the `q_proj`, `k_proj`, `v_proj` `out_proj` and `layer` Linear layers are trainable.
+
+We are using the "converted" base models based on [this issue](https://huggingface.co/databricks/dbrx-instruct/discussions/10)
+where the Experts are fused as an `nn.Parameter` rather than a `nn.Linear` layer. However, the implementation
+is still a bit buggy and attempting to train a LoRA adapter over those `w1`, `w2` and `v1` layers
+results in the trainer hanging.
+
+
+### FSDP
+We've tested using the [`LnL-AI/dbrx-base-converted-v2`](https://huggingface.co/LnL-AI/dbrx-base-converted-v2) model as the base model for FSDP.
+
+The high memory usage seen w/ FSDP is due to FSDP not supporting 8bit optimizers.
+
+- 16-bit LoRA w/ FSDP
+  - ✅ w/o CPU Offload - 8x80GB uses ~80GiB/gpu
+  - ❌ w/ CPU Offload - `paged_adamw_8bit` optimizer errors from being on cpu
+- ✅ 8-bit LoRA w/ FSDP
+- ❌ 4-bit QLoRA w/ FSDP - errors w/: `Error an illegal memory access was encountered at line 90 in file /src/csrc/ops.cu`
+- ✅ bf16 full finetune w/ FSDP, freezing all but first 8 layers (8x80GB uses ~78GiB/gpu)
+
