+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement on Discord
+at https://discord.gg/QYF8QrtEUm
+
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

 ## Quickstart ⚡
 
-**Requirements**: Python 3.9.
+Get started with Axolotl in just a few steps! This quickstart guide will walk you through setting up and running a basic fine-tuning task.
+
+**Requirements**: Python >=3.10 and Pytorch >=2.1.1.
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl
+cd axolotl
 
-pip3 install -e .[int4]
-
-accelerate config
-
-# finetune lora
-accelerate launch scripts/finetune.py examples/lora-openllama-3b/config.yml
-
-# inference
-accelerate launch scripts/finetune.py examples/lora-openllama-3b/config.yml \
-    --inference --lora_model_dir="./lora-out"
+pip3 install packaging ninja
+pip3 install -e '.[flash-attn,deepspeed]'
 ```
 
-## Installation
+### Usage
+```bash
+# preprocess datasets - optional but recommended
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess examples/openllama-3b/lora.yml
+
+# finetune lora
+accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.train examples/openllama-3b/lora.yml
+
+# inference
+accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.inference examples/openllama-3b/lora.yml \
+    --lora_model_dir="./lora-out"
+
+# gradio
+accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.inference examples/openllama-3b/lora.yml \
+    --lora_model_dir="./lora-out" --gradio
+
+# remote yaml files - the yaml config can be hosted on a public URL
+# Note: the yaml config must directly link to the **raw** yaml
+accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.train https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl/main/examples/openllama-3b/lora.yml
+```
+
+## Advanced Setup
 
 ### Environment
 
-- Docker
+#### Docker
+
   ```bash
-  docker run --gpus '"all"' --rm -it winglian/axolotl:main
+  docker run --gpus '"all"' --rm -it winglian/axolotl:main-latest
   ```
-  - `winglian/axolotl:dev`: dev branch
-  - `winglian/axolotl-runpod:main`: for runpod
 
-- Conda/Pip venv
-  1. Install python **3.9**
+  Or run on the current files for development:
 
-  2. Install python dependencies with ONE of the following:
-      - `pip3 install -e .[int4]` (recommended)
-      - `pip3 install -e .[int4_triton]`
-      - `pip3 install -e .`
-
-### Dataset
-
-Have dataset(s) in one of the following format (JSONL recommended):
-
-- `alpaca`: instruction; input(optional)
-  ```json
-  {"instruction": "...", "input": "...", "output": "..."}
+  ```sh
+  docker compose up -d
   ```
-- `sharegpt`: conversations
-  ```json
-  {"conversations": [{"from": "...", "value": "..."}]}
+
+>[!Tip]
+> If you want to debug axolotl or prefer to use Docker as your development environment, see the [debugging guide's section on Docker](docs/debugging.qmd#debugging-with-docker).
+
+  <details>
+
+  <summary>Docker advanced</summary>
+
+  A more powerful Docker command to run would be this:
+
+  ```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-latest
   ```
-- `completion`: raw corpus
-  ```json
-  {"text": "..."}
+
+  It additionally:
+  * Prevents memory issues when running e.g. deepspeed (e.g. you could hit SIGBUS/signal 7 error) through `--ipc` and `--ulimit` args.
+  * Persists the downloaded HF data (models etc.) and your modifications to axolotl code through `--mount`/`-v` args.
+  * The `--name` argument simply makes it easier to refer to the container in vscode (`Dev Containers: Attach to Running Container...`) or in your terminal.
+  * The `--privileged` flag gives all capabilities to the container.
+  * The `--shm-size 10g` argument increases the shared memory size. Use this if you see `exitcode: -7` errors using deepspeed.

+
+# Managed spot (auto-recovery on preemption)
+HF_TOKEN=xx BUCKET=<unique-name> sky spot launch axolotl-spot.yaml --env HF_TOKEN --env BUCKET
+```
+
+### Dataset
+
+Axolotl supports a variety of dataset formats.  It is recommended to use a JSONL.  The schema of the JSONL depends upon the task and the prompt template you wish to use.  Instead of a JSONL, you can also use a HuggingFace dataset with columns for each JSONL field.
+
+See [these docs](https://openaccess-ai-collective.github.io/axolotl/docs/dataset-formats/) for more information on how to use different dataset formats.

-### Accelerate
-
-Configure accelerate
-
-```bash
-accelerate config
-
-# Edit manually
-# nano ~/.cache/huggingface/accelerate/default_config.yaml
-```
+See [these docs](docs/config.qmd) for all config options.
 
 ### Train
 
 Run
 ```bash
-accelerate launch scripts/finetune.py configs/your_config.yml
+accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.train your_config.yml
 ```
 
-### Inference
+> [!TIP]
+> You can also reference a config file that is hosted on a public URL, for example `accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.train https://yourdomain.com/your_config.yml`
 
-Pass the appropriate flag to the train command:
+#### Preprocess dataset
+
+You can optionally pre-tokenize dataset with the following before finetuning.
+This is recommended for large datasets.
+
+- Set `dataset_prepared_path:` to a local folder for saving and loading pre-tokenized dataset.
+- (Optional): Set `push_dataset_to_hub: hf_user/repo` to push it to Huggingface.
+- (Optional): Use `--debug` to see preprocessed examples.
+
+```bash
+python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess your_config.yml
+```
+
+#### Multi-GPU
+
+Below are the options available in axolotl for training with multiple GPUs. Note that DeepSpeed
+is the recommended multi-GPU option currently because FSDP may experience
+[loss instability](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/26498).
+
+##### DeepSpeed
+
+Deepspeed is an optimization suite for multi-gpu systems allowing you to train much larger models than you
+might typically be able to fit into your GPU's VRAM. More information about the various optimization types
+for deepspeed is available at https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/main/en/usage_guides/deepspeed#what-is-integrated
+
+We provide several default deepspeed JSON configurations for ZeRO stage 1, 2, and 3.
+
+```yaml
+deepspeed: deepspeed_configs/zero1.json
+```
+
+```shell
+accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.train examples/llama-2/config.yml --deepspeed deepspeed_configs/zero1.json
+```
+
+##### FSDP
+
+- llama FSDP
+```yaml
+fsdp:
+  - full_shard
+  - auto_wrap
+fsdp_config:
+  fsdp_offload_params: true
+  fsdp_state_dict_type: FULL_STATE_DICT
+  fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap: LlamaDecoderLayer
+```
+
+##### FSDP + QLoRA
+
+Axolotl supports training with FSDP and QLoRA, see [these docs](docs/fsdp_qlora.qmd) for more information.
+
+##### Weights & Biases Logging
+
+Make sure your `WANDB_API_KEY` environment variable is set (recommended) or you login to wandb with `wandb login`.
+
+- wandb options
+```yaml
+wandb_mode:
+wandb_project:
+wandb_entity:
+wandb_watch:
+wandb_name:
+wandb_log_model:
+```
+
+##### Special Tokens
+
+It is important to have special tokens like delimiters, end-of-sequence, beginning-of-sequence in your tokenizer's vocabulary.  This will help you avoid tokenization issues and help your model train better.  You can do this in axolotl like this:
+
+```yml
+special_tokens:
+  bos_token: "<s>"
+  eos_token: "</s>"
+  unk_token: "<unk>"
+tokens: # these are delimiters
+  - "<|im_start|>"
+  - "<|im_end|>"
+```
+
+When you include these tokens in your axolotl config, axolotl adds these tokens to the tokenizer's vocabulary.
+
+### Inference Playground
+
+Axolotl allows you to load your model in an interactive terminal playground for quick experimentation.
+The config file is the same config file used for training.
+
+Pass the appropriate flag to the inference command, depending upon what kind of model was trained:
 
 - Pretrained LORA:
   ```bash
-  --inference --lora_model_dir ./completed-model
+  python -m axolotl.cli.inference examples/your_config.yml --lora_model_dir="./lora-output-dir"
   ```
 - Full weights finetune:
   ```bash
-  --inference --base_model ./completed-model
+  python -m axolotl.cli.inference examples/your_config.yml --base_model="./completed-model"
   ```
+- Full weights finetune w/ a prompt from a text file:
+  ```bash
+  cat /tmp/prompt.txt | python -m axolotl.cli.inference examples/your_config.yml \
+    --base_model="./completed-model" --prompter=None --load_in_8bit=True
+  ```
+-- With gradio hosting
+  ```bash
+  python -m axolotl.cli.inference examples/your_config.yml --gradio
+  ```
+
+Please use `--sample_packing False` if you have it on and receive the error similar to below:
+
+> RuntimeError: stack expects each tensor to be equal size, but got [1, 32, 1, 128] at entry 0 and [1, 32, 8, 128] at entry 1
 
 ### Merge LORA to base
 
-Add below flag to train command above
+The following command will merge your LORA adapater with your base model. You can optionally pass the argument `--lora_model_dir` to specify the directory where your LORA adapter was saved, otherwhise, this will be inferred from `output_dir` in your axolotl config file.  The merged model is saved in the sub-directory `{lora_model_dir}/merged`.
 
 ```bash
---merge_lora --lora_model_dir="./completed-model" --load_in_8bit=False --load_in_4bit=False
+python3 -m axolotl.cli.merge_lora your_config.yml --lora_model_dir="./completed-model"
 ```
 
+You may need to use the `gpu_memory_limit` and/or `lora_on_cpu` config options to avoid running out of memory. If you still run out of CUDA memory, you can try to merge in system RAM with
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" python3 -m axolotl.cli.merge_lora ...
+```
+
+although this will be very slow, and using the config options above are recommended instead.
+
 ## Common Errors 🧰
 
-> Cuda out of memory
+See also the [FAQ's](./docs/faq.qmd) and [debugging guide](docs/debugging.qmd).
+
+> If you encounter a 'Cuda out of memory' error, it means your GPU ran out of memory during the training process. Here's how to resolve it:
 
 Please reduce any below
   - `micro_batch_size`
   - `eval_batch_size`
+  - `gradient_accumulation_steps`
   - `sequence_len`
 
+If it does not help, try running without deepspeed and without accelerate (replace "accelerate launch" with "python") in the command.
+
+Using adamw_bnb_8bit might also save you some memory.
+
+> `failed (exitcode: -9)`
+
+Usually means your system has run out of system memory.
+Similarly, you should consider reducing the same settings as when you run out of VRAM.
+Additionally, look into upgrading your system RAM which should be simpler than GPU upgrades.

+
+### Tokenization Mismatch b/w Inference & Training
+
+For many formats, Axolotl constructs prompts by concatenating token ids _after_ tokenizing strings.  The reason for concatenating token ids rather than operating on strings is to maintain precise accounting for attention masks.
+
+If you decode a prompt constructed by axolotl, you might see spaces between tokens (or lack thereof) that you do not expect, especially around delimiters and special tokens.  When you are starting out with a new format, you should always do the following:
+
+1. Materialize some data using `python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess your_config.yml --debug`, and then decode the first few rows with your model's tokenizer.
+2. During inference, right before you pass a tensor of token ids to your model, decode these tokens back into a string.
+3. Make sure the inference string from #2 looks **exactly** like the data you fine tuned on from #1, including spaces and new lines.  If they aren't the same, adjust your inference server accordingly.
+4. As an additional troubleshooting step, you can look at the token ids between 1 and 2 to make sure they are identical.
+
+Having misalignment between your prompts during training and inference can cause models to perform very poorly, so it is worth checking this.  See [this blog post](https://hamel.dev/notes/llm/05_tokenizer_gotchas.html) for a concrete example.

+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
+
+```

+
+Weight update for w1:
+w1_new = w1_old - learning rate x (Total gradient for w1 / 18)
+```
+
+**Example 2:**
+Micro batch size: 2
+Gradient accumulation steps: 1
+Number of GPUs: 3
+Total batch size = 2 * 1 * 3 = 6

+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": [
+        {

+                "--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/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/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)).

+description: Use FSDP with QLoRA to fine-tune large LLMs on consumer GPUs.
+format:
+  html:
+    toc: true
+---
+
+## 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/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl?tab=readme-ov-file#fsdp).
+3. Use one of the supported model types: `llama`, `mistral` or `mixtral`.
+
+## Example Config
+
+[examples/llama-2/qlora-fsdp.yml](../examples/llama-2/qlora-fsdp.yml) contains an example of how to enable QLoRA + FSDP in axolotl.

+## Background
+
+<a id="markdown-masking-inputs" name="masking-inputs"></a>
+
+### Masking Inputs
+
+One of the most popular features of
+[axolotl](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl) is
+setting the following configuration value:
+
+
+```yaml
+train_on_inputs: false
+```
+
+If you declare a [dataset formats](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/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,
+                "text": "<s>Hello\n"
+            },
+            {
+                "label": true,
+                "text": "hi there!. "
+            },
+            {
+                "label": false,
+                "text": "goodbye "
+            },
+            {
+                "label": true,
+                "text": "farewell</s>"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+:::
+
+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": [
+            {
+                "label": true,
+                "text": "<s>Hello\n"
+            },
+            {
+                "label": true,
+                "text": "hi there!. "
+            },
+            {
+                "label": false,
+                "text": "goodbye "
+            },
+            {
+                "label": true,
+                "text": "farewell</s>"
+            }
+        ]

+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.

+description: "Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback is a method whereby a language model is optimized from data using human feedback."
+---
+
+### 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
+rl: dpo
+datasets:
+  - path: Intel/orca_dpo_pairs
+    split: train
+    type: chatml.intel
+  - path: argilla/ultrafeedback-binarized-preferences
+    split: train
+    type: chatml.argilla
+```
+
+#### IPO
+```yaml
+rl: ipo
+```
+
+#### ORPO
+
+Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07691
+
+```yaml
+rl: orpo
+orpo_alpha: 0.1
+remove_unused_columns: false
+
+chat_template: chatml
+datasets:
+  - path: argilla/ultrafeedback-binarized-preferences-cleaned
+    type: chat_template.argilla
+```
+
+#### 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.
+rl_adapter_ref_model: true
+```

+# 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)
