================================= Fine-tuning Llama3 with Chat Data ================================= Llama3 Instruct introduced a new prompt template for fine-tuning with chat data. In this tutorial, we'll cover what you need to know to get you quickly started on preparing your own custom chat dataset for fine-tuning Llama3 Instruct. .. grid:: 2 .. grid-item-card:: :octicon:`mortar-board;1em;` You will learn: * How the Llama3 Instruct format differs from Llama2 * All about prompt templates and special tokens * How to use your own chat dataset to fine-tune Llama3 Instruct .. grid-item-card:: :octicon:`list-unordered;1em;` Prerequisites * Be familiar with :ref:`configuring datasets<dataset_tutorial_label>` * Know how to :ref:`download Llama3 Instruct weights <llama3_label>` .. note:: This tutorial requires a version of torchtune > 0.1.1 Template changes from Llama2 to Llama3 -------------------------------------- The Llama2 chat model requires a specific template when prompting the pre-trained model. Since the chat model was pretrained with this prompt template, if you want to run inference on the model, you'll need to use the same template for optimal performance on chat data. Otherwise, the model will just perform standard text completion, which may or may not align with your intended use case. From the `official Llama2 prompt template guide <https://llama.meta.com/docs/model-cards-and-prompt-formats/meta-llama-2>`_ for the Llama2 chat model, we can see that special tags are added: .. code-block:: text <s>[INST] <<SYS>> You are a helpful, respectful, and honest assistant. <</SYS>> Hi! I am a human. [/INST] Hello there! Nice to meet you! I'm Meta AI, your friendly AI assistant </s> Llama3 Instruct `overhauled <https://llama.meta.com/docs/model-cards-and-prompt-formats/meta-llama-3>`_ the template from Llama2 to better support multiturn conversations. The same text in the Llama3 Instruct format would look like this: .. code-block:: text <|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|> You are a helpful, respectful, and honest assistant.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|> Hi! I am a human.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|> Hello there! Nice to meet you! I'm Meta AI, your friendly AI assistant<|eot_id|> The tags are entirely different, and they are actually encoded differently than in Llama2. Let's walk through tokenizing an example with the Llama2 template and the Llama3 template to understand how. .. note:: The Llama3 Base model uses a `different prompt template <https://llama.meta.com/docs/model-cards-and-prompt-formats/meta-llama-3>`_ than Llama3 Instruct because it has not yet been instruct tuned and the extra special tokens are untrained. If you are running inference on the Llama3 Base model without fine-tuning we recommend the base template for optimal performance. Generally, for instruct and chat data, we recommend using Llama3 Instruct with its prompt template. The rest of this tutorial assumes you are using Llama3 Instruct. Tokenizing prompt templates & special tokens -------------------------------------------- Let's say I have a sample of a single user-assistant turn accompanied with a system prompt: .. code-block:: python sample = [ { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful, respectful, and honest assistant.", }, { "role": "user", "content": "Who are the most influential hip-hop artists of all time?", }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Here is a list of some of the most influential hip-hop " "artists of all time: 2Pac, Rakim, N.W.A., Run-D.M.C., and Nas.", }, ] Now, let's format this with the :class:`~torchtune.data.Llama2ChatFormat` class and see how it gets tokenized. The Llama2ChatFormat is an example of a **prompt template**, which simply structures a prompt with flavor text to indicate a certain task. .. code-block:: python from torchtune.data import Llama2ChatFormat, Message messages = [Message.from_dict(msg) for msg in sample] formatted_messages = Llama2ChatFormat.format(messages) print(formatted_messages) # [ # Message( # role='user', # content='[INST] <<SYS>>\nYou are a helpful, respectful, and honest assistant.\n<</SYS>>\n\nWho are the most influential hip-hop artists of all time? [/INST] ', # ..., # ), # Message( # role='assistant', # content='Here is a list of some of the most influential hip-hop artists of all time: 2Pac, Rakim, N.W.A., Run-D.M.C., and Nas.', # ..., # ), # ] There are also special tokens used by Llama2, which are not in the prompt template. If you look at our :class:`~torchtune.data.Llama2ChatFormat` class, you'll notice that we don't include the :code:`<s>` and :code:`</s>` tokens. These are the beginning-of-sequence (BOS) and end-of-sequence (EOS) tokens that are represented differently in the tokenizer than the rest of the prompt template. Let's tokenize this example with the :func:`~torchtune.models.llama2.llama2_tokenizer` used by Llama2 to see why. .. code-block:: python from torchtune.models.llama2 import llama2_tokenizer tokenizer = llama2_tokenizer("/tmp/Llama-2-7b-hf/tokenizer.model") user_message = formatted_messages[0].content tokens = tokenizer.encode(user_message, add_bos=True, add_eos=True) print(tokens) # [1, 518, 25580, 29962, 3532, 14816, 29903, 6778, ..., 2] We've added the BOS and EOS tokens when encoding our example text. This shows up as IDs 1 and 2. We can verify that these are our BOS and EOS tokens. .. code-block:: python print(tokenizer._spm_model.spm_model.piece_to_id("<s>")) # 1 print(tokenizer._spm_model.spm_model.piece_to_id("</s>")) # 2 The BOS and EOS tokens are what we call special tokens, because they have their own reserved token IDs. This means that they will index to their own individual vectors in the model's learnt embedding table. The rest of the prompt template tags, :code:`[INST]` and :code:`<<SYS>>` are tokenized as normal text and not their own IDs. .. code-block:: python print(tokenizer.decode(518)) # '[' print(tokenizer.decode(25580)) # 'INST' print(tokenizer.decode(29962)) # ']' print(tokenizer.decode([3532, 14816, 29903, 6778])) # '<<SYS>>' It's important to note that you should not place the special reserved tokens in your input prompts manually, as it will be treated as normal text and not as a special token. .. code-block:: python print(tokenizer.encode("<s>", add_bos=False, add_eos=False)) # [529, 29879, 29958] Now let's take a look at Llama3's formatting to see how it's tokenized differently than Llama2. .. code-block:: python from torchtune.models.llama3 import llama3_tokenizer tokenizer = llama3_tokenizer("/tmp/Meta-Llama-3-8B/original/tokenizer.model") messages = [Message.from_dict(msg) for msg in sample] tokens, mask = tokenizer.tokenize_messages(messages) print(tokenizer.decode(tokens)) # '<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>\n\nYou are a helpful, respectful, # and honest assistant.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nWho # are the most influential hip-hop artists of all time?<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|> # assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\nHere is a list of some of the most influential hip-hop # artists of all time: 2Pac, Rakim, N.W.A., Run-D.M.C., and Nas.<|eot_id|>' .. note:: We used the ``tokenize_messages`` API for Llama3, which is different than encode. It simply manages adding all the special tokens in the correct places after encoding the individual messages. We can see that the tokenizer handled all the formatting without us specifying a prompt template. It turns out that all of the additional tags are special tokens, and we don't require a separate prompt template. We can verify this by checking if the tags get encoded as their own token IDs. .. code-block:: python print(tokenizer.special_tokens["<|begin_of_text|>"]) # 128000 print(tokenizer.special_tokens["<|eot_id|>"]) # 128009 The best part is - all these special tokens are handled purely by the tokenizer. That means you won't have to worry about messing up any required prompt templates! When should I use a prompt template? ------------------------------------ Whether or not to use a prompt template is governed by what your desired inference behavior is. You should use a prompt template if you are running inference on the base model and it was pre-trained with a prompt template, or you want to prime a fine-tuned model to expect a certain prompt structure on inference for a specific task. It is not strictly necessary to fine-tune with a prompt template, but generally specific tasks will require specific templates. For example, the :class:`~torchtune.data.SummarizeTemplate` provides a lightweight structure to prime your fine-tuned model for prompts asking to summarize text. This would wrap around the user message, with the assistant message untouched. .. code-block:: python f"Summarize this dialogue:\n{dialogue}\n---\nSummary:\n" You can fine-tune Llama2 with this template even though the model was originally pre-trained with the :class:`~torchtune.data.Llama2ChatFormat`, as long as this is what the model sees during inference. The model should be robust enough to adapt to a new template. Fine-tuning on a custom chat dataset ------------------------------------ Let's test our understanding by trying to fine-tune the Llama3-8B instruct model with a custom chat dataset. We'll walk through how to set up our data so that it can be tokenized correctly and fed into our model. Let's say we have a local dataset saved as a CSV file that contains questions and answers from an online forum. How can we get something like this into a format Llama3 understands and tokenizes correctly? .. code-block:: python import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('your_file.csv', nrows=1) print("Header:", df.columns.tolist()) # ['input', 'output'] print("First row:", df.iloc[0].tolist()) # [ # "How do GPS receivers communicate with satellites?", # "The first thing to know is the communication is one-way...", # ] The Llama3 tokenizer class, :class:`~torchtune.models.llama3._tokenizer.Llama3Tokenizer`, expects the input to be in the :class:`~torchtune.data.Message` format. Let's quickly write a function that can parse a single row from our csv file into the Message dataclass. The function also needs to have a train_on_input parameter. .. code-block:: python def message_converter(sample: Mapping[str, Any], train_on_input: bool) -> List[Message]: input_msg = sample["input"] output_msg = sample["output"] user_message = Message( role="user", content=input_msg, masked=not train_on_input, # Mask if not training on prompt ) assistant_message = Message( role="assistant", content=output_msg, masked=False, ) # A single turn conversation messages = [user_message, assistant_message] return messages Since we're fine-tuning Llama3, the tokenizer will handle formatting the prompt for us. But if we were fine-tuning a model that requires a template, for example the Mistral-7B model which uses the :class:`~torchtune.models.mistral._tokenizer.MistralTokenizer`, we would need to use a chat format like :class:`~torchtune.data.MistralChatFormat` to format all messages according to their `recommendations <https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/open_weight_models/#chat-template>`_. Now let's create a builder function for our dataset that loads in our local file, converts to a list of Messages using our function, and creates a :class:`~torchtune.datasets.ChatDataset` object. .. code-block:: python def custom_dataset( *, tokenizer: ModelTokenizer, max_seq_len: int = 2048, # You can expose this if you want to experiment ) -> ChatDataset: return ChatDataset( tokenizer=tokenizer, # For local csv files, we specify "csv" as the source, just like in # load_dataset source="csv", # Default split of "train" is required for local files split="train", convert_to_messages=message_converter, # Llama3 does not need a chat format chat_format=None, max_seq_len=max_seq_len, # To load a local file we specify it as data_files just like in # load_dataset data_files="your_file.csv", ) .. note:: You can pass in any keyword argument for :code:`load_dataset` into all our Dataset classes and they will honor them. This is useful for common parameters such as specifying the data split with :code:`split` or configuration with :code:`name` Now we're ready to start fine-tuning! We'll use the built-in LoRA single device recipe. Use the :code:`tune cp` command to get a copy of the :code:`8B_lora_single_device.yaml` config and update it to use your new dataset. Create a new folder for your project and make sure the dataset builder and message converter are saved in that directory, then specify it in the config. .. code-block:: yaml dataset: _component_: path.to.my.custom_dataset max_seq_len: 2048 Launch the fine-tune! .. code-block:: bash $ tune run lora_finetune_single_device --config custom_8B_lora_single_device.yaml epochs=15
