+
+Plugins can be used to customize the behavior of the training pipeline through [hooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooking). See [`axolotl.integrations.BasePlugin`](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/blob/main/src/axolotl/integrations/base.py) for the possible hooks.
+
+To add a new integration, please follow these steps:
+
+1. Create a new folder in the `src/axolotl/integrations` directory.
+2. Add any relevant files (`LICENSE`, `README.md`, `ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.md`, etc.) to the new folder.
+3. Add `__init__.py` and `args.py` files to the new folder.
+  - `__init__.py` should import the integration and hook into the appropriate functions.
+  - `args.py` should define the arguments for the integration.
+4. (If applicable) Add CPU tests under `tests/integrations` or GPU tests under `tests/e2e/integrations`.

 > A: This is usually an issue with the GPU. This can be resolved through setting the os environment variable `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0`. If you are on runpod, this is usually a pod issue. Starting a new pod should take care of it.
 
+**Q: Received mismatch error on merge adapters / loading adapters between torch.Size of checkpoint and model.**
+
+> A: This is likely due to vocab size mismatch. By default, Axolotl expands the model's embeddings if the tokenizer has more tokens than the model. Please use the `axolotl merge-lora` command to merge the adapters instead of using your own scripts.
+
+> On the other hand, if the model has more tokens than the tokenizer, Axolotl does not shrink the model's embeddings unless `shrink_embeddings: true` is set in the config.
+
+**Q: How to call Axolotl via custom python scripts?**
+
+> A: Yes, since Axolotl is just Python, please see `src/axolotl/cli/main.py` on how each command is called.
+
+**Q: How to know the value to use for `fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap`?**
+
+> A: This is the class name of the transformer layer to wrap with FSDP. For example, for `LlamaForCausalLM`, the value is `LlamaDecoderLayer`. To find this for a specific model, check the model's `PreTrainedModel` definition and look for `_no_split_modules` variable in the `modeling_<model_name>.py` file within `transformers` library.

+## Dataset Format
+
+For multi-modal datasets, we adopt an extended `chat_template` format similar to OpenAI's Message format.
+
+- A message is a list of `role` and `content`.
+- `role` can be `system`, `user`, `assistant`, etc.
+- `content` is a list of `type` and (`text` or `image` or `path` or `url` or `base64`).
+
+::: {.callout-note}
+For backwards compatibility:
+
+- If the dataset has a `images` or `image` column of `list[Image]`, it will be appended to the first `content` list as `{"type": "image", "image": ...}`. However, if the content already has a `{"type": "image"}` but no `image` key, it will be set the `image` key.
+- If `content` is a string, it will be converted to a list with `type` as `text`.
+:::
+
+::: {.callout-tip}
+For image loading, you can use the following keys within `content` alongside `"type": "image"`:
+
+- `"path": "/path/to/image.jpg"`
+- `"url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"`
+- `"base64": "..."`
+- `"image": PIL.Image`
+:::
+
+Here is an example of a multi-modal dataset:
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "messages": [
+        {
+            "role": "system",
+            "content": [
+              {"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}
+              ]
+        },
+        {
+            "role": "user",
+            "content": [
+                {"type": "image", "image": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/bee.jpg"},

+title: Sequence Parallelism
+description: Train with long sequences split across multiple GPUs.
+---
+
+# Sequence Parallelism
+
+Sequence parallelism is a technique that splits sequences across multiple GPUs,
+allowing you to train with very long sequences that wouldn't fit on a single GPU. Each
+GPU processes a different portion of the sequence, and the results are aggregated
+through a ring communication pattern.
+
+## When to Use Sequence Parallelism
+
+Use sequence parallelism when:
+
+- You need to train with sequence lengths that don't fit into a single GPU's memory
+- You have multiple GPUs available
+- You're experiencing OOM (Out Of Memory) errors with long sequences
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable sequence parallelism, add the following to your configuration file:
+
+```yaml
+# Set to a divisor (> 1) of the number of GPUs available
+sequence_parallel_degree: 4  # Split sequences across 4 GPUs
+```
+
+The `sequence_parallel_degree` should be a divisor of the total number of GPUs. For example:
+
+- With 8 GPUs, valid values would be 2, 4, or 8
+- With 4 GPUs, valid values would be 2 or 4
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+When sequence parallelism is enabled:
+
+1. Each sequence is divided into equal chunks across the GPUs in a sequence parallel group
+2. The data collator handles the chunking of input_ids, attention_mask, labels, and position_ids
+3. Position IDs are adjusted to maintain proper relative positions, especially for packed sequences
+4. The trainer uses special ring communication patterns for attention operations
+
+## Requirements
+
+To use sequence parallelism, you need:
+
+- Multiple GPUs (at least 2)
+- The `ring-flash-attn` package. Install with:
+  - `pip install axolotl[ring-flash-attn]` (preferred)
+  - `pip install ring-flash-attn>=0.1.4`
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Flash attention must be enabled for this to work (`flash_attention: true` in config YAML)
+- May have a small performance overhead due to communication between GPUs
+
+## Example
+
+```yaml
+# Example config with sequence parallelism
+base_model: meta-llama/Llama-3-8B-Instruct
+sequence_len: 8192
+sequence_parallel_degree: 2  # Split each sequence into 4 parts
+flash_attention: true  # Required with sequence parallelism
+...
+```
+
+This will train the Llama 3 8B model with 8K context length, with each sequence split
+into 2 subsequences of length 4096 across 2 GPUs.
+
+## Sample Packing with Sequence Parallelism
+
+Sequence parallelism is compatible with Axolotl's sample packing functionality. When using both features together:
+
+1. Samples are first packed together
+2. The packed sequences are then divided across GPUs in the sequence parallel group
+3. Position IDs are automatically adjusted to maintain proper relative positions
+
+## Effect on Batch Size
+
+When using sequence parallelism, your effective global batch size is **divided** by the `sequence_parallel_degree`. This happens because:
+
+- Each group of `sequence_parallel_degree` GPUs works on the same batch (just different parts of each sequence)
+- The number of batches processed per step decreases
+
+For example:
+- With 8 GPUs and no sequence parallelism: 8 different batches processed per step
+- With 8 GPUs and `sequence_parallel_degree=4`: Only 2 different batches processed per step (each split across 4 GPUs)
+- If your per-GPU `micro_batch_size` is 2, the global batch size decreases from 16 to 4
