"section": "",
"text": "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. A common NCCL-related problem occurs when a long-running operation times out causing the training process to abort:\nWatchdog caught collective operation timeout: WorkNCCL(SeqNum=42, OpType=ALLGATHER, Timeout(ms)=1800000) ran for 1806948 milliseconds before timing out.\nOften, 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) as a possible solution if this is available to you.\nForcing cross-GPU communication via NVLink may help without increasing timeouts. To verify that your configuration is leveraging NVLink run the following command:\nnvidia-smi nvlink --status\nTo force NCCL to use NVLink, simply set this in the environment:\nexport NCCL_P2P_LEVEL=NVL\nIf NVLink is not available in your environment there are other options for NCCL_P2P_LEVEL in the table below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNCCL_P2P_LEVEL\nDescription\n\n\n\n\nPIX\nP2P 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.\n\n\nPXB\nP2P 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.\n\n\nPHB\nP2P 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)\n\n\n\nTo validate that acceptable data transfer speeds exist for your training job, running NCCL Tests can help pinpoint bottlenecks, for example:\n./build/all_reduce_perf -b 8 -e 128M -f 2 -g 3\nIt can be useful when debugging NCCL communication timeouts to activate additional logging in both PyTorch and NCCL:\nexport NCCL_DEBUG=INFO\nexport NCCL_DEBUG_SUBSYS=ALL\nexport TORCH_DISTRIBUTED_DEBUG=INFO\nexport TORCHELASTIC_ERROR_FILE=/PATH/TO/torcherror.log\nFinally, 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 for documentation on this value.",

Apply xformers Workaround\nxformers appears to be incompatible with ROCm. Apply the following workarounds:\n- Edit $HOME/packages/axolotl/src/axolotl/monkeypatch/llama_attn_hijack_flash.py modifying the code to always return False for SwiGLU availability from xformers.\n- Edit $HOME/miniforge3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/xformers/ops/swiglu_op.py replacing the “SwiGLU” function with a pass statement.\n\n\n8. Prepare Job Submission Script\nCreate a script for job submission using your HPC’s particular software (e.g. Slurm, PBS). Include necessary environment setup and the command to run Axolotl training. If the compute node(s) do(es) not have internet access, it is recommended to include\nexport TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE=1\nexport HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=1\n\n\n9. Download Base Model\nDownload a base model using the Hugging Face CLI:\nhuggingface-cli download meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B --local-dir ~/hfdata/llama3.1-8B\n\n\n10. Create Axolotl Configuration\nCreate an Axolotl configuration file (YAML format) tailored to your specific training requirements and dataset. Use FSDP for multi-node training.\nNote: Deepspeed did not work at the time of testing. However, if anyone managed to get it working, please let us know.\n\n\n11. Preprocess Data\nRun preprocessing on the login node:\nCUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=\"\" python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess /path/to/your/config.yaml\n\n\n12.

Check your git branch and make sure you have pulled the latest changes from main.\nEliminate concurrency: Restrict the number of processes to 1 for both training and data preprocessing:\n\nSet CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to a single GPU, ex: export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0.\nSet dataset_num_proc: 1 in your axolotl config or run the training command with --dataset_num_proc=1.\n\nUse 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):\ndatasets:\n ...\n shards: 20\nUse a small model: A good example of a small model is TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0.\nMinimize iteration time: Make sure the training loop finishes as fast as possible, with these settings.\n\nmicro_batch_size: 1\nmax_steps: 1\nval_set_size: 0\n\nClear Caches: Axolotl caches certain steps and so does the underlying HuggingFace trainer. You may want to clear some of these caches when debugging.\n\nData 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.\nHF Hub: If you are debugging data preprocessing, you should clear the relevant HF cache HuggingFace cache, by deleting the appropriate ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets/... folder(s).\nThe 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.",

"text": "Debugging with VSCode\n\nBackground\nThe below example shows how to configure VSCode to debug data preprocessing of the chat_template format. This is the format used when you have the following in your axolotl config:\ndatasets:\n - path: <path to your chat_template formatted dataset> # example on HF Hub: fozziethebeat/alpaca_messages_2k_test\n type: chat_template\n\n[!Important]\nIf you are already familiar with advanced VSCode debugging, you can skip the below explanation and look at the files .vscode/launch.json and .vscode/tasks.json for an example configuration.\n\n\n[!Tip]\nIf you prefer to watch a video, rather than read, you can skip to the video tutorial below (but doing both is recommended).\n\n\n\nSetup\nMake sure you have an editable install 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:\npip3 install packaging\npip3 install --no-build-isolation -e '.[flash-attn,deepspeed]'\n\nRemote Hosts\nIf 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. You can also see the video below on Docker and Remote SSH debugging.\n\n\n\nConfiguration\nThe easiest way to get started is to modify the .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.\nFor example, to mimic the command cd devtools && CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 accelerate launch -m axolotl.cli.train dev_chat_template.yml, you would use the below configuration1. 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.\n// .vscode/launch.json\n{\n \"version\": \"0.2.0\",\n \"configurations\": [\n {\n \"name\": \"Debug axolotl prompt - chat_template\",\n \"type\": \"python\",\n \"module\": \"accelerate.commands.launch\",\n \"request\": \"launch\",\n \"args\": [\n \"-m\", \"axolotl.cli.train\", \"dev_chat_template.yml\",\n // The flags below simplify debugging by overriding the axolotl config\n // with the debugging tips above. Modify as needed.\n \"--dataset_num_proc=1\", // limits data preprocessing to one process\n \"--max_steps=1\", // limits training to just one step\n \"--batch_size=1\", // minimizes batch size\n \"--micro_batch_size=1\", // minimizes batch size\n \"--val_set_size=0\", // disables validation\n \"--sample_packing=False\", // disables sample packing which is necessary for small datasets\n \"--eval_sample_packing=False\",// disables sample packing on eval set\n \"--dataset_prepared_path=temp_debug/axolotl_outputs/data\", // send data outputs to a temp folder\n \"--output_dir=temp_debug/axolotl_outputs/model\" // send model outputs to a temp folder\n ],\n \"console\": \"integratedTerminal\", // show output in the integrated terminal\n \"cwd\": \"${workspaceFolder}/devtools\", // set working directory to devtools from the root of the project\n \"justMyCode\": true, // step through only axolotl code\n \"env\": {\"CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES\": \"0\", // Since we aren't doing distributed training, we need to limit to one GPU\n \"HF_HOME\": \"${workspaceFolder}/devtools/temp_debug/.hf-cache\"}, // send HF cache to a temp folder\n \"preLaunchTask\": \"cleanup-for-dataprep\", // delete temp folders (see below)\n }\n ]\n}\nAdditional notes about this configuration:\n\nThe 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.\nThe preLaunchTask: cleanup-for-dataprep is defined in .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:\n\n./devtools/temp_debug/axolotl_outputs\n./devtools/temp_debug/.hf-cache/datasets\n\n\n\n[!Tip]\nYou 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.\n\nBelow is the ./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.\n// .vscode/tasks.json\n// this file is used by launch.json\n{\n \"version\": \"2.0.0\",\n \"tasks\": [\n // this task changes into the devtools directory and deletes the temp_debug/axolotl_outputs folder\n {\n \"label\": \"delete-outputs\",\n \"type\": \"shell\",\n \"command\": \"rm -rf temp_debug/axolotl_outputs\",\n \"options\":{ \"cwd\": \"${workspaceFolder}/devtools\"},\n \"problemMatcher\": []\n },\n // this task changes into the devtools directory and deletes the `temp_debug/.hf-cache/datasets` folder\n {\n \"label\": \"delete-temp-hf-dataset-cache\",\n \"type\": \"shell\",\n \"command\": \"rm -rf temp_debug/.hf-cache/datasets\",\n \"options\":{ \"cwd\": \"${workspaceFolder}/devtools\"},\n \"problemMatcher\": []\n },\n // this task combines the two tasks above\n {\n \"label\": \"cleanup-for-dataprep\",\n \"dependsOn\": [\"delete-outputs\", \"delete-temp-hf-dataset-cache\"],\n }\n ]\n}\n\n\nCustomizing your debugger\nYour 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.\n\n\nVideo Tutorial\nThe following video tutorial walks through the above configuration and demonstrates how to debug with VSCode, (click the image below to watch):\n\n\n\nHamel Husain’s tutorial: Debugging Axolotl w/VSCode",

"text": "Debugging With Docker\nUsing official Axolotl Docker images 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.\n\nSetup\nOn 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:\ngit clone https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl\ncd axolotl\n\n[!Tip]\nIf you already have axolotl cloned on your host, make sure you have the latest changes and change into the root of the project.\n\nNext, run the desired docker image and mount the current directory. Below is a docker command you can run to do this:2\ndocker 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 axolotlai/axolotl:main-py3.10-cu118-2.0.1\n\n[!Tip]\nTo understand which containers are available, see the Docker section of the README and the DockerHub repo. For details of how the Docker containers are built, see axolotl’s Docker CI builds.\n\nYou will now be in the container. Next, perform an editable install of Axolotl:\npip3 install packaging\npip3 install --no-build-isolation -e '.[flash-attn,deepspeed]'\n\n\nAttach To Container\nNext, if you are using a remote host, Remote into this host with VSCode. If you are using a local host, you can skip this step.\nNext, 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.\nNow you are ready to debug as described above (see Debugging with VSCode).\n\n\nVideo - Attaching To Docker On Remote Host\nHere is a short video that demonstrates how to attach to a Docker container on a remote host:\n\n\n\nHamel Husain’s tutorial: Debugging Axolotl Part 2: Attaching to Docker on a Remote Host",

In the example above, the tool answer is expected to be in the tool or ipython role for llama4 template.\n\n\n\n\n\n(Advanced) Using fine-grained control over tokens and turns to train in a conversation\nFor a data sample that looks like:\n\n\ndata.jsonl\n\n{\n \"conversations\": [\n {\"from\": \"system\", \"value\": \"You are an AI assistant.\", \"train\": false},\n {\"from\": \"human\", \"value\": \"Hello\", \"train\": false},\n {\"from\": \"assistant\", \"value\": \"Hello\", \"train\": true},\n {\"from\": \"human\", \"value\": \"How are you?\", \"train\": true},\n {\n \"from\": \"assistant\",\n \"value\": \"I'm doing very well, thank you!\",\n \"train_detail\": [\n {\"begin_offset\": 0, \"end_offset\": 8, \"train\": false},\n {\"begin_offset\": 9, \"end_offset\": 18, \"train\": true},\n {\"begin_offset\": 19, \"end_offset\": 30, \"train\": false},\n ],\n },\n {\n \"from\": \"human\",\n \"value\": \"I'm doing very well, thank you!\",\n \"train\": true,\n },\n {\"from\": \"assistant\", \"value\": \"Hi there!\", \"train\": true}\n ]\n}\n\nThe configuration would look like:\ndatasets:\n - path: ...\n type: chat_template\n chat_template: tokenizer_default\n field_messages: conversations\n message_property_mappings:\n role: from\n content: value\n roles_to_train: []\n train_on_eos: turn\n message_field_training: train\n message_field_training_detail: train_detail\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip\n\n\n\nIt is not necessary to set both message_field_training and message_field_training_detail at once.\n\n\n\n\n\n(For Qwen3 template only) Enable reasoning split, where the reasoning is split from the content and passed as a separate field into the template.\ndatasets:\n - path: ...\n type: chat_template\n chat_template: qwen3\n split_thinking: true\nFor example, a content can look like:\n{\n \"content\": \"<think>Some thinking outputs</think>Output after thinking.\"\n}\nAfter split, it will look like:\n{\n \"reasoning_content\": \"Some thinking outputs\",\n \"content\": \"Output after thinking...\"\n}",

This would mean that the entire dataset is pre-tokenized instead of on-demand in streaming.\nOne benefit of this is that the tokenization can be performed separately on a CPU-only machine, and then transferred to a GPU machine for training to save costs.\nFrom Hugging Face:\ndatasets:\n - path: hf_org/name\n type: completion\nFrom local files:\ndatasets:\n - path: A.jsonl\n type: completion\n\n - path: B.jsonl\n type: completion\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant\n\n\n\nFor completion only, Axolotl would split texts if it exceeds the context length into multiple smaller prompts.

"text": "Supervised fine-tuning (SFT)\nSupervised fine-tuning is the process of training models to respond to an instruction or chat input.\nAs there are a wide variety of dataset formats, Axolotl tries to support a majority of the formats available in public datasets.\nAxolotl provides four approaches for loading datasets, however, it’s easier to work backwards from the dataset you have available to figure out which approach to use.\nA flow chart is as follows:\n\nDo you already have the dataset tokenized? If yes, check Pre-Tokenized Dataset.\nDo you want to format the dataset yourself and manually choose each section to mask? If yes, check Template Free Dataset\nIs your dataset in a “conversation” format, containing a list[messages]? If yes, check Conversation Dataset\nIs your dataset in an “instruct” format, containing { instruction, response }? If yes, check Instruction Dataset\n\nIf you went through the flow chart and did not find one that matches, it is recommended to preprocess your dataset into one of the above or create a thread on Github Discussion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip\n\n\n\nYou can mix and match within each approach or across approaches to train a model on a variety of datasets.\n\n\n\nPre-Tokenized Dataset\nWe suggest this approach when you want to bring your own tokenized dataset.\nAxolotl expects the dataset to have three keys:\n\ninput_ids: from tokenizing formatted prompt\nattention_mask: for masking padding. If you don’t add padding, it would be equal to len(input_ids) * [1]\nlabels: this is the same as input_ids, however, if you want to mask certain tokens, you would set those indices to -100.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip\n\n\n\nMake sure to add BOS/EOS tokens to your prompt and mask it appropriately.\n\n\nA config for this would look like:\ndatasets:\n - path: A.jsonl\n type:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\ntype: is empty!\n\n\nReference: Pre-Tokenized Dataset Documentation.\n\n\nTemplate Free Dataset\nWe reccomend this approach when you want granular control over the prompt formatting, special tokens, and masking, whilst letting Axolotl handle the tokenization. This is very useful if your dataset has unique prompts that differ across samples and where one single general template wouldn’t suffice.\nIn the example below, you could see that there is no proper structure. At the same time, it’s very flexible as there are no constraints on how your prompt can look.\n{\n \"segments\": [\n {\n \"label\": true,\n \"text\": \"<s>Hello\\n\"\n },\n {\n \"label\": true,\n \"text\": \"hi there!. \"\n },\n {\n \"label\": false,\n \"text\": \"goodbye \"\n },\n {\n \"label\": true,\n \"text\": \"farewell</s>\"\n }\n ]\n}\nEach prompt must be have a key called segments which is a list of { text, label }.\ndatasets:\n - path: A.jsonl\n type: input_output\nReference: Template Free Documentation.\n\n\nConversation Dataset\nconversation messages are a list of messages which usually contain a role and content key.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip\n\n\n\nFun fact: Axolotl synonymously refers to “chat” messages as conversation messages due to how FastChat initially used this term to build a widely used fastchat conversation method for formatting chat messages prior to the creation of chat_templates.\n\n\n\nWhat are chat_templates?\nThe current most popular and convenient method for inference is to use chat_templates for formatting prompts. Axolotl supports using chat_templates for training to ensure that the model performs in the same environment as in inference.\nHere’s a quick rundown on chat_template: A chat_template is a Jinja2 template which formats a list of messages into a prompt.\nAn example of a prompt formatted into a popular template called ChatML can be seen below:\nSingle prompt (pretty-printed):\n{\n \"messages\": [\n {\n \"role\": \"user\",\n \"content\": \"Hi\"\n },\n {\n \"role\": \"assistant\",\n \"content\": \"How can I help you?\"\n },\n {\n \"role\": \"user\",\n \"content\": \"Can you add 3+5?\"\n },\n {\n \"role\": \"assistant\",\n \"content\": \"The answer is 8.\"\n }\n ]\n}\nThe ChatML template is as follows:\n{% if not add_generation_prompt is defined %}{% set add_generation_prompt = false %}{% endif %}{% for message in messages %}{{'<|im_start|>' + message['role'] + '\\n' + message['content'] + '<|im_end|>' + '\\n'}}{% endfor %}{% if add_generation_prompt %}{{ '<|im_start|>assistant\\n' }}{% endif %}\nThe above prompt formatted into this template will result in:\n<|im_start|>user\nHi<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\nHow can I help you?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\nCan you add 3+5?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\nThe answer is 8.<|im_end|>\nBy using delimiters (<|im_start|> and <|im_end|>), a prompt separates different speakers which helps the model identify which portion belongs to whom.\n\n\nCommon Conversation Dataset formats\nOlder conversation datasets with the following format are colloquially called sharegpt datasets.\n{\"conversations\": [{\"from\": \"...\", \"value\": \"...\"}]}\nNewer conversation datasets usually follow the OpenAI format.\n{\"messages\": [{\"role\": \"...\", \"content\": \"...\"}]}\nAxolotl supports both as well as allowing customization of any kind of key.\n\n\nChat Template Usage\nTo properly use this method, it is important to identify three things:\n\nWhich chat_template would you use?\nWhat are the keys in your dataset, and what are the possible roles? For example, in OpenAI format, the keys would be messages, role, and content, respectively, whereas the possible roles are system, user, and assistant.\nWhat do you want to mask? For instance, only assistant messages, only last message, or nothing.\n\n\nChoosing a chat_template\nThere are a lot of chat_templates out there. Axolotl supports the common ones: supported chat templates. For example, to use ChatML, it would be chat_template: chatml.\nHowever, it is also possible to use the already configured template within the tokenizer by specifying chat_template: tokenizer_default. If you want a fallback (in case some tokenizer does not have it pre-configured), you can do chat_template: tokenizer_default_fallback_chatml to fallback to the ChatML template if a tokenizer template was not found.\nOne last but powerful approach is to bring your own template. This can be set via:\nchat_template_jinja: # your template\n\n\nSetting chat_template dataset keys\nWe currently default to OpenAI format for dataset keys, so if that’s your current dataset format, there’s nothing to do here.\nIf your dataset format is different, here are the keys you should check (with their defaults):\ndatasets:\n ...\n field_messages: messages # this should point to the key containing the list of conversations\n message_property_mappings: # this is a mapping from keys in your dataset to keys in chat_template\n role: role\n content: content\nIn some chat_templates (e.g. Gemma), the roles are hardcoded to user and assistant. Consequently, you may find it necessary to map the roles in your dataset to these above. We currently have some defaults that should work for common datasets, but if you get a KeyError, it would be necessary to add mapping for your roles. Here is an example of how it would look like:\ndatasets:\n ...\n roles:\n assistant:\n - gpt\n - model\n user:\n - human\nIn the example above, all gpt and model values are converted to assistant. All human values are converted to user.\n\n\nHandling masking\nThe common use case for chat_template is for chat messages, therefore, it is common to mask all non-assistant messages. Assistant messages refer to the bot messages that you want the model to learn on.\nTo train on all assistant messages, you would set the following configs.\ndatasets:\n ...\n roles_to_train: [\"assistant\"]\n train_on_eos: \"turn\"\nThe train_on_eos config means that it would mask all EOS tokens for turns that aren’t assistant-turns. The other options are: all and last to choose which EOS to train on.\nPerhaps, you want to train on assistant and narrator roles, you can simply add narrator to the list of roles_to_train. You would also need to add it to the mapping of roles above.\ndatasets:\n ...\n roles_to_train: [\"assistant\", \"narrator\"]\n roles:\n assistant:\n - gpt\n - model\n user:\n - human\n narrator: [\"narrator\"]\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip\n\n\n\nAs chat_templates may use hardcoded EOS/EOT tokens that are different from the tokenizer’s EOS, it is highly recommended to set them. For example, ChatML uses <|im_end|> to end turns.\nspecial_tokens:\n eos_token: <|im_end|>\n\n\n\n\nApplying chat_template\nOnce all the above steps are completed, you could combine all these configs together to form a bespoke configuration for your custom dataset.\ndatasets:\n - path: A.jsonl\n type: chat_template\n\n # step 1\n chat_template: chatml\n\n # step 2\n field_messages: messages\n message_property_mappings:\n role: role\n content: content\n\n roles:\n assistant:\n - gpt\n - model\n - assistant\n user:\n - human\n - user\n\n # step 3\n roles_to_train: [\"assistant\"]\n train_on_eos: \"turn\"\n\nspecial_tokens:\n eos_token: <|im_end|>\nIf this config were to be applied to the sample dataset above, the output would look as such (which can be retrieved via axolotl preprocess config.yaml --debug):\n<|im_start|>(-100, 128256) user(-100, 882)\n(-100, 198) Hi(-100, 13347) <|im_end|>(-100, 128257)\n(-100, 198) <|im_start|>(-100, 128256) assistant(-100, 78191)\n(-100, 198) How(4438, 4438) can(649, 649) I(358, 358) help(1520, 1520) you(499, 499) ?(30, 30) <|im_end|>(128257, 128257)\n(-100, 198) <|im_start|>(-100, 128256) user(-100, 882)\n(-100, 198) Can(-100, 6854) you(-100, 499) add(-100, 923) (-100, 220) 3(-100, 18) +(-100, 10) 5(-100, 20) ?(-100, 30) <|im_end|>(-100, 128257)\n(-100, 198) <|im_start|>(-100, 128256) assistant(-100, 78191)\n(-100, 198) The(791, 791) answer(4320, 4320) is(374, 374) (220, 220) 8(23, 23) .(13, 13) <|im_end|>(128257, 128257)\n(-100, 198)\nThe first number refers to the label, the second refers to the token_id. For example, -100 labels appear on non-assistant portions, meaning that they are masked during. For assistant portions, the label is the same as the token_id.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\nIf during preprocess, there are a lot of warnings of Could not find content __ boundary, please check the FAQ section for chat_templates.\n\n\n\n\n\nReference\nPlease see docs here.\n\n\n\nInstruction Dataset\nInstruction datasets are used to train instruction-following models and comprise a prompt, containing an instruction, and a single response. In contrast to chat datasets which may be multi-turn, instruct datasets are typically single-turn.\nAn example is of a common format called Alpaca:\n{\"instruction\": \"...\", \"input\": \"...\", \"output\": \"...\"}\nUsing those keys, a prompt can be built based on it.\nBelow is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n\n### Instruction:\n{instruction}\n\n### Input:\n{input}\n\n### Response:\n{output}\nThis can be configured as such:\ndatasets:\n - path: A.jsonl\n type: alpaca\nAxolotl supports many kinds of instruction dataset. All of them can be found in the Instruction Dataset Documentation with their respective type and sample row format.\n\nCustom Instruct Prompt Format\nDue to the myriad possibilities of instruction formats, Axolotl allows customizing your own instruction format without having to dive into the code directly.\nIn the example below, a sample row is used to output in mistral_v1 format.\n{\"input\": \"...\", \"output\": \"...\"}\ndatasets:\n - path: repo\n type:\n system_prompt: \"\"\n\n field_system:\n field_instruction: input\n field_input:\n field_output: output\n\n # multi-line example with input\n format: |-\n [INST] {instruction} {input} [/INST]\n\n # single-line example without input\n no_input_format: \"[INST] {instruction} [/INST]\"\nThe config sets that the field_instruction is actually named input, and the field_input is empty as we don’t have an input in this sample. Generally, instruction can be thought as the question to the model, and input as the additional information with output being the response. It is not necessary to have an input nor system. In the end, the most important part is to understand what format you want it to look like and how you can customize this to your use case.\nReference: Custom Instruct Prompt Format Documentation.",

Please remove the deepspeed: section in the yaml file or --deepspeed CLI flag.\n\nQ: The codes is stuck on saving preprocessed datasets.\n\nA: 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.\n\nQ: Received mismatch error on merge adapters / loading adapters between torch.Size of checkpoint and model.\n\nA: 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.\n\n\nOn 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.\n\nQ: How to call Axolotl via custom python scripts?\n\nA: Since Axolotl is just Python, please see src/axolotl/cli/main.py on how each command is called.\n\nQ: How to know the value to use for fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap?\n\nA: 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.\n\nQ: ValueError: Asking to pad but the tokenizer does not have a padding token. Please select a token to use as pad_token\n\nA: This is because the tokenizer does not have a padding token. Please add a padding token to the tokenizer via:\n\n\nspecial_tokens:\n # str. If you're not sure, set to same as `eos_token`.\n pad_token: \"...\"\n\nQ: IterableDataset error or KeyError: 'input_ids' when using preprocess CLI\n\nA: This is because you may be using preprocess CLI with pretraining_dataset: or skip_prepare_dataset: true respectively. Please use axolotl train CLI directly instead as these datasets are prepared on demand.\n\nQ: vLLM is not working with Axolotl\n\nA: We currently recommend torch 2.6.0 for use with vllm. Please ensure you use the right version. For Docker, please use the main-py3.11-cu124-2.6.0 tag.\n\nQ: FA2 2.8.0 undefined symbol runtime error on CUDA 12.4\n\nA: There seems to be a wheel issue with FA2 2.8.0 on CUDA 12.4. Try CUDA 12.6 instead or downgrade to FA2 2.7.4. Please refer to the upstream issue: https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention/issues/1717.\n\n\n\nChat templates\nQ: jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'content' / 'role' / ____\n\nA: This means that the property mapping for the stated attribute does not exist when building chat_template prompt. For example, if no attribute 'content', please check you have added the correct mapping for content under message_property_mappings.\n\nQ: Empty template generated for turn ___\n\nA: The content is empty for that turn.\n\nQ: Could not find content start/end boundary for turn __\n\nA: The specific turn’s start/end could not be detected. Please ensure you have set the eos_token following your chat_template. Otherwise, this could be a chat_template which doesn’t use proper boundaries for each turn (like system). On the rare occurrence, make sure your content is not [[dummy_message]]. Please let us know about this.\n\nQ: Content end boundary is before start boundary for turn ___\n\nA: This is an edge case which should not occur. Please create an Issue if this happens.\n\nQ: Content end boundary is the same as start boundary for turn ___. This is likely an empty turn.\n\nA: This is likely an empty turn.\n\nQ: The EOS token is incorrectly being masked or not being masked / EOS token __ not found in chat template.\n\nA: There can be two reasons:\n\n\n\nThis is because of the mismatch between tokenizer.eos_token and EOS token in template. Please make sure to set eos_token: under special_tokens: to the same EOS token as in template.\n\n\n\n\nThe EOS token is not in the template. Please check if your template is correct. As an example, phi_35 template does not use its dedicated EOS token <|endoftext|> at the end.\n\n\nQ: “chat_template choice is tokenizer_default but tokenizer’s chat_template is null. Please add a chat_template in tokenizer config”\n\nA: This is because the tokenizer does not have a chat template. Please add a chat template in the tokenizer config. See chat_template for more details.\n\nQ: The EOT token(s) are incorrectly being masked or not being masked / EOT token __ not found in chat template.\n\nA: There can be two reasons:\n\n\n\nThe EOT token is different from the EOS token and was not specified under eot_tokens:. Please set eot_tokens: to the same EOT token(s) as in template.\n\n\n\n\nThere is more than one EOT token per turn in the template. Please raise an issue with examples as we recognize this as an edge case.\n\n\nQ: EOT token encoding failed. Please check if the token is valid and can be encoded.\n\nA: There could be some issue with the tokenizer or unicode encoding. Please raise an issue with examples with the EOT token & tokenizer causing the issue.\n\nQ: EOT token __ is encoded as multiple tokens.\n\nA: This is because the EOT token is encoded as multiple tokens which can cause unexpected behavior. Please add it under tokens: or (recommended) override unused added_tokens via added_tokens_overrides:.\n\nQ: Conflict between train_on_eos and train_on_eot. eos_token is in eot_tokens and train_on_eos != train_on_eot\n\nA: This is because the EOS token is in the eot_tokens: while mismatch between train_on_eos: and train_on_eot:. This will cause one to override the other. Please ensure that train_on_eos: and train_on_eot: are the same or remove the EOS token from eot_tokens:.\n\nQ: If eot_tokens: is not provided, what happens?\n\nA: If eot_tokens: is not provided, the default behavior is the same as before. EOS tokens used to delimit turns are masked/unmasked depending on whether the turn is trainable.\n\n\nInternally, eot_tokens: tokenizer.eos_token and train_on_eot: train_on_eos (which defaults to turn). This transition helps clarify the naming and behavior of EOT/EOS tokens.\n\nQ: Data processing error: CAS service error\n\nA: Try disabling XET with export HF_HUB_DISABLE_XET=1\n\nQ: torch._inductor.exc.LoweringException: NoValidChoicesError: No choices to select, please consider adding ATEN into max_autotune_gemm_backends config (defined in torch/_inductor/config.py) to allow at least one choice.\n\nA: Depending on the version of torch, you may need to include this in your YAML:\n\n\nflex_attn_compile_kwargs:\n dynamic: false\n mode: max-autotune-no-cudagraphs\n\n**Q: ValueError(\"Backward pass should have cleared tracker of all tensors\")\n\nA: This may happen due to edge cases in using the modern OffloadActivations context manager for CUDA streams. If you encounter this error, you may have success using the naive implementation with offload_activations: legacy in your YAML.\n\n**Q: Error parsing tool_calls arguments as JSON.\n\nA: There is an error parsing string arguments to a dict. Please check your dataset and the error message for more details.",

"section": "Diffusion LM Training Plugin for Axolotl",
"text": "Diffusion LM Training Plugin for Axolotl\nThis plugin enables diffusion language model training using an approach inspired by\nLLaDA (Large Language Diffusion Models) within Axolotl.\n\nOverview\nLLaDA is a diffusion-based approach to language model training that uses:\n- Random token masking during training instead of next-token prediction\n- Bidirectional attention to allow the model to attend to the full context\n- Importance weighting based on masking probabilities for stable training\nThis approach can lead to more robust language models with better understanding of\nbidirectional context.\n\n\nInstallation\nThe plugin is included with Axolotl. See our\ninstallation docs.\n\n\nQuickstart\nTrain with an example config (Llama‑3.2 1B):\n- Pretrain: axolotl train examples/llama-3/diffusion-3.2-1b-pretrain.yaml\n- SFT: axolotl train examples/llama-3/diffusion-3.2-1b-sft.yaml\n\n\nBasic Configuration\nYou can also modify your existing configs to enable / customize diffusion training.\nAdd the following to your Axolotl config:\nplugins:\n - axolotl.integrations.diffusion.DiffusionPlugin\nAnd, configure the nested diffusion block (defaults shown):\ndiffusion:\n noise_schedule: linear # or \"cosine\"\n min_mask_ratio: 0.1\n max_mask_ratio: 0.9\n num_diffusion_steps: 128\n eps: 1e-3\n importance_weighting: true\n\n # Mask token (training auto-adds if missing, avoid pad/eos)\n mask_token_str: \"<|diffusion_mask|>\"\n # Or use an existing special token id (e.g., 128002 for Llama-3.x)\n # mask_token_id: 128002\n\n # Sample generation during training (optional)\n generate_samples: true\n generation_interval: 100\n num_generation_samples: 3\n generation_steps: 128\n generation_temperature: 0.0\n generation_max_length: 100\n\n\nSupported Models\nAny models that support 4D attention masks should work out of the box. If not, please\ncreate an issue or open a\nPR!\n\n\nHow It Works\n\n\nRandom Masking\nDuring training, tokens are randomly masked:\n- Sample timestep t uniformly from [0, 1]\n- Calculate masking probability: p = (1 - eps) * t + eps\n- Randomly mask tokens with probability p\n\n\nDiffusion Loss\nLoss is computed only on masked tokens with (optional) importance weighting:\nloss = sum(cross_entropy(pred, target) / p_mask) / total_tokens\n\n\nSample Generation\nWhen diffusion.generate_samples: true, the plugin generates samples during training:\nSample 1:\n Original (45 tokens): The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog...\n Masked (18/45 tokens, 40.0%): The [MASK] [MASK] fox [MASK] over [MASK] lazy [MASK]...\n Generated: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog...\nSamples are logged to console and wandb (if enabled).\n\n\nInference\nDiffusion inference is integrated into the standard Axolotl CLI. Use the same config\nyou trained with and run:\naxolotl inference path/to/your-config.yaml\nOptionally, pass --gradio to use a simple web interface.\nInteractive controls (prefix the prompt with commands):\n- :complete N → completion mode with N new masked tokens appended (default 64)\n- :mask R → random masking mode with target mask ratio R in [0.0, 1.0]\nExample session:\n================================================================================\nCommands:\n:complete N -> completion mode with N tokens (default 64)\n:mask R -> random masking with ratio R (0.0–1.0)\n================================================================================\nGive me an instruction (Ctrl + D to submit):\n\n:mask 0.4 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\n\nMasked (40.0%):\nThe [MASK] brown [MASK] jumps over the [MASK] dog\n\nGenerated:\nThe quick brown fox jumps over the loud dog\n\n\nMetrics and Monitoring\nThe plugin adds (or modifies) several metrics to track diffusion training:\n\ntrain/loss: Weighted diffusion loss\ntrain/accuracy: Accuracy on masked tokens\ntrain/mask_ratio: Average fraction of tokens masked\ntrain/num_masked_tokens: Number of tokens masked\ntrain/avg_p_mask: Average masking probability\ntrain/ce_loss: Unweighted cross-entropy loss\ntrain/importance_weight_avg: Average importance weight\n\n\n\nLimitations\n\nNo flash attention support\nNo RL training support\n\n\n\nReferences\n\nLLaDA Paper\nAxolotl Documentation\nAPI reference for plugin\n\nPlease see reference here",

"text": "Core Concepts\nParallelism strategies can be combined. The key is understanding how each one divides the workload. PyTorch’s DeviceMesh is the modern way to manage these combinations, creating a logical grid of your GPUs and assigning different parallel strategies to different dimensions of the grid.\n\nData Parallelism\nData Parallelism focuses on splitting the global data batch across GPUs.\n\nDistributed Data Parallel (DDP): The classic approach. The full model is replicated on every GPU. Each GPU processes a different slice of the data batch. Gradients are then averaged across all GPUs after the backward pass to keep the models synchronized. This can substantially improve data throughput compared to single-device training, but requires that each GPU is able to hold the entire model, its gradients, and optimizer states.\nFully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP): A highly memory-efficient form of data parallelism (inspired by DeepSpeed’s ZeRO). Instead of replicating the model, FSDP shards the model’s parameters, gradients, and optimizer states across the GPUs in the data-parallel group. During computation, each GPU receives the specific parameters it needs via an all_gather operation just before they are used, and they can be discarded immediately after (reshard-after-forward).\n\nFSDP maps to ZeRO stages:\n\nZeRO-2 (reshard_after_forward=False): Shards gradients and optimizer states. Model weights are replicated on each GPU.\nZeRO-3 (reshard_after_forward=True): Shards gradients, optimizer states, AND model parameters. This provides the most memory savings at the cost of more communication (re-gathering parameters for both forward and backward passes).\n\n\n\n\n\n[Experimental] Tensor Parallelism (TP)\nAlso known as “horizontal model parallelism,” as described in the Megatron-LM paper. Instead of splitting the batch, TP splits the model’s layers themselves across GPUs.\n\nHow it works: For a linear layer Y = XA, the weight matrix A is split column-wise (A = [A_1, A_2]). The computation becomes Y_1 = XA_1 and Y_2 = XA_2, which can happen in parallel on different GPUs. The final output Y is simply the concatenation of Y_1 and Y_2. Check this comment for more detailed info.\nRequirement: TP involves frequent, small communications within a forward/backward pass. It requires a very fast interconnect between GPUs (e.g., NVLink) and is typically not recommended across different nodes.\n\n\n\nContext Parallelism (CP)\nContext Parallelism, also called Sequence Parallelism, addresses the memory bottleneck from long sequences. The input sequence itself is split along the sequence length dimension and distributed across GPUs.\n\nHow it works: If you have a sequence of 8192 tokens and a context_parallel_size of 4, each GPU will only handle a chunk of 2048 tokens.\nThe Challenge: Attention is not local; every token needs to “attend to” every other token. Splitting the sequence breaks this.\nThe Solution (ring-flash-attention): An efficient communication protocol is used. To compute attention for its local sequence chunk, each GPU passes its Key-Value (KV) cache to its neighbor in a “ring.” After N-1 steps, every GPU has seen the KV-cache from all other GPUs, allowing it to compute the correct attention values for its chunk. This is implemented using the highly optimized flash-attention kernel at each step.\n\n\n\nHybrid Sharding Data Parallel (HSDP)\nHSDP is a 2D strategy that intelligently combines FSDP and DDP, typically for multi-node training.\n\nIntra-Node (within a machine): Use FSDP. This is efficient because GPUs on the same node have fast interconnects (NVLink), making the all_gather operations for sharded parameters fast.\nInter-Node (across machines): Use DDP. The gradient synchronization between nodes is less frequent than FSDP’s parameter gathering, making it a better fit for the slower node-to-node network (e.g., Ethernet/Infiniband).\nExample: With 2 nodes of 8 GPUs each (16 total), you could have dp_shard_size=8 (FSDP within each node) and dp_replicate_size=2 (DDP across the two nodes).",

"text": "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.\nThis method allows for effective training with larger effective batch sizes without needing proportionally larger memory. Here’s why:\n\nMemory 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.\nGradient 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.\n\nExample 1:\nMicro batch size: 3\nGradient accumulation steps: 2\nNumber of GPUs: 3\nTotal batch size = 3 * 2 * 3 = 18\n| GPU 1 | GPU 2 | GPU 3 |\n|----------------|----------------|----------------|\n| S1, S2, S3 | S4, S5, S6 | S7, S8, S9 |\n| e1, e2, e3 | e4, e5, e6 | e7, e8, e9 |\n|----------------|----------------|----------------|\n| → (accumulate) | → (accumulate) | → (accumulate) |\n|----------------|----------------|----------------|\n| S10, S11, S12 | S13, S14, S15 | S16, S17, S18 |\n| e10, e11, e12 | e13, e14, e15 | e16, e17, e18 |\n|----------------|----------------|----------------|\n| → (apply) | → (apply) | → (apply) |\n\nAccumulated gradient for the weight w1 after the second iteration (considering all GPUs):\nTotal gradient for w1 = e1 + e2 + e3 + e4 + e5 + e6 + e7 + e8 + e9 + e10 + e11 + e12 + e13 + e14 + e15 + e16 + e17 + e18\n\nWeight update for w1:\nw1_new = w1_old - learning rate x (Total gradient for w1 / 18)\nExample 2:\nMicro batch size: 2\nGradient accumulation steps: 1\nNumber of GPUs: 3\nTotal batch size = 2 * 1 * 3 = 6\n| GPU 1 | GPU 2 | GPU 3 |\n|-----------|-----------|-----------|\n| S1, S2 | S3, S4 | S5, S6 |\n| e1, e2 | e3, e4 | e5, e6 |\n|-----------|-----------|-----------|\n| → (apply) | → (apply) | → (apply) |\n\nAccumulated gradient for the weight w1 (considering all GPUs):\nTotal gradient for w1 = e1 + e2 + e3 + e4 + e5 + e6\n\nWeight update for w1:\nw1_new = w1_old - learning rate × (Total gradient for w1 / 6)",

In this example, we’re using 4 GPUs - 2 for training, and 2 for vLLM:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant\n\n\n\nMake sure you’ve installed the correct version of vLLM by including it as an extra when installing axolotl, e.g. pip install axolotl[vllm].\n\n\nbase_model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct\n\nvllm:\n host: 0.0.0.0\n port: 8000\n tensor_parallel_size: 2\n gpu_memory_utilization: 0.85\n dtype: auto\n # max_model_len: # you may find it useful to set the vLLM model context length if you know this beforehand\n\nrl: grpo\ntrl:\n use_vllm: true\n vllm_server_host: 0.0.0.0\n vllm_server_port: 8000\n vllm_server_timeout: 300\nCUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2,3 axolotl vllm-serve grpo.yaml\nYour vLLM instance will now attempt to spin up, and it’s time to kick off training utilizing our remaining two GPUs. In another terminal, execute:\nCUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 axolotl train grpo.yaml --num-processes 2\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\nDue to TRL’s implementation with vLLM, the vLLM instance must use the last N GPUs instead of the first N GPUs. This is why in the example above, we use CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2,3 for the vLLM instance.\n\n\n\nReward functions\nGRPO uses custom reward functions and transformations. Please have them ready locally.\nFor example, to load OpenAI’s GSM8K and use a random reward for completions:\n# rewards.py\nimport random\n\ndef rand_reward_func(completions, **kwargs) -> list[float]:\n return [random.uniform(0, 1) for _ in completions]\n\ndef oai_gsm8k_transform(cfg, *args, **kwargs):\n def transform_fn(example, tokenizer=None):\n label = example[\"answer\"].split(\"####\")[-1].strip().replace(\",\", \"\")\n return {\n \"prompt\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": example[\"question\"]},],\n \"answer\": label,\n }\n return transform_fn, {\"remove_columns\": [\"question\"]}\nrl: grpo\n\ntrl:\n beta: 0.001\n max_completion_length: 256\n use_vllm: True\n num_generations: 4\n reward_funcs: [\"rewards.rand_reward_func\"] # format: '{file_name}.{fn_name}'\n reward_weights: [1.0]\ndatasets:\n - path: openai/gsm8k\n name: main\n type: rewards.oai_gsm8k_transform # format: '{file_name}.{fn_name}'\nTo see other examples of custom reward functions, please see TRL GRPO Docs.\nTo see all configs, please see TRLConfig.\n\n\nGRPO with DAPO/Dr. GRPO loss\nThe DAPO paper and subsequently Dr. GRPO paper proposed an alternative loss function for GRPO to remediate the penalty in longer responses.\ntrl:\n loss_type: dr_grpo\n # Normalizes loss based on max completion length (default: 256)\n max_completion_length:\nFor more information, see GRPO docs.\n\n\n\nSimPO\nSimPO uses CPOTrainer but with alternative loss function.\nrl: simpo\nrl_beta: 0.1 # default in CPOTrainer\ncpo_alpha: 1.0 # default in CPOTrainer\nsimpo_gamma: 0.5 # default in CPOTrainer\nThis method uses the same dataset format as DPO.\n\n\nUsing local dataset files\ndatasets:\n - ds_type: json\n data_files:\n - orca_rlhf.jsonl\n split: train\n type: chatml.intel\n\n\nTRL auto-unwrapping for PEFT\nTRL supports auto-unwrapping PEFT models for RL training paradigms which rely on a reference model. This significantly reduces memory pressure as an additional refreference model does not need to be loaded, and reference model log-probabilities can be obtained by disabling PEFT adapters. This is enabled by default. To turn it off, pass the following config:\n# load ref model when adapter training.\nrl_adapter_ref_model: true",

"text": "Loading Datasets\nWe use the datasets library to load datasets and a mix of load_dataset and load_from_disk to load them.\nYou may recognize the similar named configs between load_dataset and the datasets section of the config file.\ndatasets:\n - path:\n name:\n data_files:\n split:\n revision:\n trust_remote_code:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip\n\n\n\nDo not feel overwhelmed by the number of options here. A lot of them are optional. In fact, the most common config to use would be path and sometimes data_files.\n\n\nThis matches the API of datasets.load_dataset, so if you’re familiar with that, you will feel right at home.\nFor HuggingFace’s guide to load different dataset types, see here.\nFor full details on the config, see config-reference.qmd.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\nYou can set multiple datasets in the config file by more than one entry under datasets.\ndatasets:\n - path: /path/to/your/dataset\n - path: /path/to/your/other/dataset\n\n\n\nLocal dataset\n\nFiles\nTo load a JSON file, you would do something like this:\nfrom datasets import load_dataset\n\ndataset = load_dataset(\"json\", data_files=\"data.json\")\nWhich translates to the following config:\ndatasets:\n - path: data.json\n ds_type: json\nIn the example above, it can be seen that we can just point the path to the file or directory along with the ds_type to load the dataset.\nThis works for CSV, JSON, Parquet, and Arrow files.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip\n\n\n\nIf path points to a file and ds_type is not specified, we will automatically infer the dataset type from the file extension, so you could omit ds_type if you’d like.\n\n\n\n\nDirectory\nIf you’re loading a directory, you can point the path to the directory.\nThen, you have two options:\n\nLoading entire directory\nYou do not need any additional configs.\nWe will attempt to load in the following order:\n- datasets saved with datasets.save_to_disk\n- loading entire directory of files (such as with parquet/arrow files)\ndatasets:\n - path: /path/to/your/directory\n\n\nLoading specific files in directory\nProvide data_files with a list of files to load.\ndatasets:\n # single file\n - path: /path/to/your/directory\n ds_type: csv\n data_files: file1.csv\n\n # multiple files\n - path: /path/to/your/directory\n ds_type: json\n data_files:\n - file1.jsonl\n - file2.jsonl\n\n # multiple files for parquet\n - path: /path/to/your/directory\n ds_type: parquet\n data_files:\n - file1.parquet\n - file2.parquet\n\n\n\n\nHuggingFace Hub\nThe method you use to load the dataset depends on how the dataset was created, whether a folder was uploaded directly or a HuggingFace Dataset was pushed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\nIf you’re using a private dataset, you will need to enable the hf_use_auth_token flag in the root-level of the config file.\n\n\n\nFolder uploaded\nThis would mean that the dataset is a single file or file(s) uploaded to the Hub.\ndatasets:\n - path: org/dataset-name\n data_files:\n - file1.jsonl\n - file2.jsonl\n\n\nHuggingFace Dataset\nThis means that the dataset is created as a HuggingFace Dataset and pushed to the Hub via datasets.push_to_hub.\ndatasets:\n - path: org/dataset-name\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\nThere are some other configs which may be required like name, split, revision, trust_remote_code, etc depending on the dataset.\n\n\n\n\n\nRemote Filesystems\nVia the storage_options config under load_dataset, you can load datasets from remote filesystems like S3, GCS, Azure, and OCI.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWarning\n\n\n\nThis is currently experimental. Please let us know if you run into any issues!\n\n\nThe only difference between the providers is that you need to prepend the path with the respective protocols.\ndatasets:\n # Single file\n - path: s3://bucket-name/path/to/your/file.jsonl\n\n # Directory\n - path: s3://bucket-name/path/to/your/directory\nFor directory, we load via load_from_disk.\n\nS3\nPrepend the path with s3://.\nThe credentials are pulled in the following order:\n\nAWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_SESSION_TOKEN environment variables\nfrom the ~/.aws/credentials file\nfor nodes on EC2, the IAM metadata provider\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote\n\n\n\nWe assume you have credentials setup and not using anonymous access. If you want to use anonymous access, let us know! We may have to open a config option for this.\n\n\nOther environment variables that can be set can be found in boto3 docs\n\n\nGCS\nPrepend the path with gs:// or gcs://.\nThe credentials are loaded in the following order:\n\ngcloud credentials\nfor nodes on GCP, the google metadata service\nanonymous access\n\n\n\nAzure\n\nGen 1\nPrepend the path with adl://.\nEnsure you have the following environment variables set:\n\nAZURE_STORAGE_TENANT_ID\nAZURE_STORAGE_CLIENT_ID\nAZURE_STORAGE_CLIENT_SECRET\n\n\n\nGen 2\nPrepend the path with abfs:// or az://.\nEnsure you have the following environment variables set:\n\nAZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME\nAZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY\n\nOther environment variables that can be set can be found in adlfs docs\n\n\n\nOCI\nPrepend the path with oci://.\nIt would attempt to read in the following order:\n\nOCIFS_IAM_TYPE, OCIFS_CONFIG_LOCATION, and OCIFS_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variables\nwhen on OCI resource, resource principal\n\nOther environment variables:\n\nOCI_REGION_METADATA\n\nPlease see the ocifs docs.\n\n\n\nHTTPS\nThe path should start with https://.\ndatasets:\n - path: https://path/to/your/dataset/file.jsonl\nThis must be publically accessible.",
