Alpaca Lora 4bit

Made some adjust for the code in peft and gptq for llama, and make it possible for lora finetuning with a 4 bits base model. The same adjustment can be made for 2, 3 and 8 bits.

• Install Manual by s4rduk4r: https://github.com/s4rduk4r/alpaca_lora_4bit_readme/blob/main/README.md (NOTE: don't use the install script, use the requirements.txt instead.)
• Also Remember to create a venv if you do not want the packages be overwritten.

Update Logs

• Resolved numerically unstable issue
• Reconstruct fp16 matrix from 4bit data and call torch.matmul largely increased the inference speed.
• Added install script for windows and linux.
• Added Gradient Checkpointing. Now It can finetune 30b model 4bit on a single GPU with 24G VRAM with Gradient Checkpointing enabled. (finetune.py updated) (but would reduce training speed, so if having enough VRAM this option is not needed)
• Added install manual by s4rduk4r
• Added pip install support by sterlind, preparing to merge changes upstream
• Added V2 model support (with groupsize, both inference + finetune)
• Added some options on finetune: set default to use eos_token instead of padding, add resume_checkpoint to continue training
• Added offload support. load_llama_model_4bit_low_ram_and_offload_to_cpu function can be used.

Requirements

gptq-for-llama
peft
The specific version is inside requirements.txt

Install

~copy files from GPTQ-for-LLaMa into GPTQ-for-LLaMa path and re-compile cuda extension~
~copy files from peft/tuners/lora.py to peft path, replace it~

NOTE: Install scripts are no longer needed! requirements.txt now pulls from forks with the necessary patches.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Finetune

~The same finetune script from https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora can be used.~

After installation, this script can be used: GPTQv1:

python finetune.py

or

GPTQ_VERSION=1 python finetune.py

GPTQv2:

GPTQ_VERSION=2 python finetune.py

Inference

After installation, this script can be used:

python inference.py

Text Generation Webui Monkey Patch

Clone the latest version of text generation webui and copy all the files into ./text-generation-webui/

git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui.git

Open server.py and insert a line at the beginning

import custom_monkey_patch # apply monkey patch
import gc
import io
...

Use the command to run

python server.py
