jondurbin/mpt-30b-qlora-compatible

Slightly modified mpt-30b, which has some updates to allow gradient checkpointing/etc., to be compatible with qlora training code.

Original model: https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-30b

My fork of qlora with mpt-30b support: https://github.com/jondurbin/qlora

Differences in the qlora scripts:

requires adding --mpt True for mpt-based models
uses --num_train_epochs instead of --max_steps
uses airoboros prompt format (mostly 1:1 with vicuna) rather than alpaca, and expects an input file in JSONL format with "instruction" and "response"

I think there's a bug in gradient accumulation, so if you try this, maybe set gradient accumulation steps to 1

my first attempts used batch size 6, with gradient accumulation steps 16, but results of three epochs with gradient accumulation vs without were quite a bit worse

5 epochs seemed to achieve the best results, but YMMV

Full example of tuning (used for airoboros-mpt-30b-gpt4-1.4):

export PYTHONPATH=./mpt-30b
export WANDB_API_KEY=[redacted]

Merged model

Run the merge_weights.py script in the qlora repo: https://github.com/jondurbin/qlora/blob/main/merge_weights.py

Then, copy all of the original python files from the mpt-30b repo into your output directory: https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-30b/tree/main
