Finetune Llama 3.1 on your infra

On July 23, 2024, Meta released the Llama 3.1 model family, including a 405B parameter model in both base model and instruction-tuned forms. Llama 3.1 405B became the first open LLM that closely rivals top proprietary models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

This guide shows how to use SkyPilot and torchtune to finetune Llama 3.1 on your own data and infra. Everything is packaged in a simple SkyPilot YAML, that can be launched with one command on your infra:

Let's finetune Llama 3.1

We will use torchtune to finetune Llama 3.1. The example below uses the yahma/alpaca-cleaned dataset, which you can replace with your own dataset later.

To set up the environment for launching the finetuning job, finish the Appendix: Preparation section first.

The finetuning job is packaged in a SkyPilot YAML. It can be launched on any of your own infra, such as Kubernetes or any cloud, with the same interface:

SkyPilot YAML for finetuning Llama 3.1: lora.yaml 
# LoRA finetuning Meta Llama 3.1 on any of your own infra.
#
# Usage:
#
#  HF_TOKEN=xxx sky launch lora.yaml -c llama31 --env HF_TOKEN
#
# To finetune a 70B model:  
#
#  HF_TOKEN=xxx sky launch lora.yaml -c llama31-70 --env HF_TOKEN --env MODEL_SIZE=70B

envs:
  MODEL_SIZE: 8B
  HF_TOKEN:
  DATASET: "yahma/alpaca-cleaned"
  # Change this to your own checkpoint bucket
  CHECKPOINT_BUCKET_NAME: sky-llama-31-checkpoints


resources:
  accelerators: A100:8
  disk_tier: best
  use_spot: true

file_mounts:
  /configs: ./configs
  /output:
    name: $CHECKPOINT_BUCKET_NAME
    mode: MOUNT
    # Optionally, specify the store to enforce to use one of the stores below:
    #   r2/azure/gcs/s3/cos
    # store: r2

setup: |
  pip install torch torchvision

  # Install torch tune from source for the latest Llama 3.1 model
  pip install git+https://github.com/pytorch/torchtune.git@58255001bd0b1e3a81a6302201024e472af05379
  # pip install torchtune
  
  tune download meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-${MODEL_SIZE}-Instruct \
    --hf-token $HF_TOKEN \
    --output-dir /tmp/Meta-Llama-3.1-${MODEL_SIZE}-Instruct \
    --ignore-patterns "original/consolidated*"

run: |
  tune run --nproc_per_node $SKYPILOT_NUM_GPUS_PER_NODE \
    lora_finetune_distributed \
    --config /configs/${MODEL_SIZE}-lora.yaml \
    dataset.source=$DATASET

  # Remove the checkpoint files to save space, LoRA serving only needs the
  # adapter files.
  rm /tmp/Meta-Llama-3.1-${MODEL_SIZE}-Instruct/*.pt
  rm /tmp/Meta-Llama-3.1-${MODEL_SIZE}-Instruct/*.safetensors
  
  mkdir -p /output/$MODEL_SIZE-lora
  rsync -Pavz /tmp/Meta-Llama-3.1-${MODEL_SIZE}-Instruct /output/$MODEL_SIZE-lora
  cp -r /tmp/lora_finetune_output /output/$MODEL_SIZE-lora/

Run the following on your local machine:

# Download the files for Llama 3.1 finetuning
git clone https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot
cd skypilot/llm/llama-3.1

export HF_TOKEN=xxxx

# It takes about 40 mins on 8 A100 GPUs to finetune a 8B
# Llama3.1 model with LoRA on Alpaca dataset.
sky launch -c llama31 lora.yaml \
  --env HF_TOKEN  --env MODEL_SIZE=8B \
  --env CHECKPOINT_BUCKET_NAME="your-own-bucket-name"

To finetune a larger model with 70B parameters, you can simply change the parameters as below:

sky launch -c llama31-70 lora.yaml \
  --env HF_TOKEN  --env MODEL_SIZE=70B \
  --env CHECKPOINT_BUCKET_NAME="your-own-bucket-name"

Finetuning Llama 3.1 405B: Work in progress! If you want to follow the work, join the SkyPilot community Slack for discussions.

Use your custom data

The example above finetune Llama 3.1 on Alpaca dataset (yahma/alpaca-cleaned), but for real use cases, you may want to finetune it on your own dataset.

You can do so by specifying the huggingface path to your own dataset as following (we use gbharti/finance-alpaca as an example below):

# It takes about 1 hour on 8 A100 GPUs to finetune a 8B
# Llama3.1 model with LoRA on finance dataset.
sky launch -c llama31 lora.yaml \
  --env HF_TOKEN  --env MODEL_SIZE=8B \
  --env CHECKPOINT_BUCKET_NAME="your-own-bucket-name" \
  --env DATASET="gbharti/finance-alpaca"

Training Loss of LoRA finetuning Llama 3.1

Serve the fine tuned model

With a finetuned Llama 3.1 trained on your dataset, you can now serve the finetuned model with a single command:

Note: CHECKPOINT_BUCKET_NAME should be the bucket you used for storing checkpoints in the previous finetuning step.

sky launch -c serve-llama31 serve.yaml \
  --env LORA_NAME="my-finance-lora" \
  --env CHECKPOINT_BUCEKT_NAME="your-own-bucket-name"

You can interact with the model in a terminal:

ENDPOINT=$(sky status --endpoint 8081 serve-llama31)
curl http://$ENDPOINT/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "my-finance-lora",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
      },
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "For a car, what scams can be plotted with 0% financing vs rebate?"
      }
    ]
  }' | jq .

🎉 Congratulations! You now have a finetuned Llama 3.1 8B model that is well versed in finance topics. To recap, all model checkpoints and replicas stay in your own private infrastructure.
