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.
### 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
```
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.
