Highlights

Today we release v0.4.0 of torchtune with some exciting new additions! Some notable ones include full support for activation offloading, recipes for Llama3.2V 90B and QLoRA variants, new documentation, and Qwen2.5 models!

Activation offloading (#1443, #1645, #1847)

Activation offloading is a memory-saving technique that asynchronously moves checkpointed activations that are not currently running to the CPU. Right before the GPU needs the activations for the microbatch’s backward pass, this functionality prefetches the offloaded activations back from the CPU. Enabling this functionality is as easy as setting the following options in your config:

enable_activation_checkpointing: True
enable_activation_offloading: True

In experiments with Llama3 8B, activation offloading used roughly 24% less memory while inflicting a performance slowdown of under 1%.

Llama3.2V 90B with QLoRA (#1880, #1726)

We added model builders and configs for the 90B version of Llama3.2V, which outperforms the 11B version of the model across common benchmarks. Because this model size is larger, we also added the ability to run the model using QLoRA and FSDP2.

# Download the model first
tune download meta-llama/Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct --ignore-patterns "original/consolidated*"
# Run with e.g. 4 GPUs
tune run --nproc_per_node 4 lora_finetune_distributed --config llama3_2_vision/90B_qlora

Qwen2.5 model family has landed (#1863)

We added builders for Qwen2.5, the cutting-edge models from the Qwen family of models! In their own words "Compared to Qwen2, Qwen2.5 has acquired significantly more knowledge (MMLU: 85+) and has greatly improved capabilities in coding (HumanEval 85+) and mathematics (MATH 80+)."

Get started with the models easily:

tune download Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct --ignore-patterns None
tune run lora_finetune_single_device --config qwen2_5/1.5B_lora_single_device

New documentation on using custom recipes, configs, and components (#1910)

We heard your feedback and wrote up a simple page on how to customize configs, recipes, and individual components! Check it out here

Overview

It’s been awhile since we’ve done a release and we have a ton of cool, new features in the torchtune library including distributed QLoRA support, new models, sample packing, and more! Checkout #new-contributors for an exhaustive list of new contributors to the repo.

Enjoy the new release and happy tuning!

New Features

Here’s some highlights of our new features in v0.2.0.

Recipes

  • We added support for QLoRA with FSDP2! This means users can now run 70B+ models on multiple GPUs. We provide example configs for Llama2 7B and 70B sizes. Note: this currently requires you to install PyTorch nightlies to access the FSDP2 methods. (#909)
  • Also by leveraging FSDP2, we see a speed up of 12% tokens/sec and a 3.2x speedup in model init over FSDP1 with LoRA (#855)
  • We added support for other variants of the Meta-Llama3 recipes including:
    • 70B with LoRA (#802)
    • 70B full finetune (#993)
    • 8B memory-efficient full finetune which saves 46% peak memory over previous version (#990)
  • We introduce a quantization-aware training (QAT) recipe. Training with QAT shows significant improvement in model quality if you plan on quantizing your model post-training. (#980)
  • torchtune made updates to the eval recipe including:
    • Batched inference for faster eval (#947)
    • Support for free generation tasks in EleutherAI Eval Harness (#975)
    • Support for custom eval configs (#1055)

Models

  • Phi-3 Mini-4K-Instruct from Microsoft (#876)
  • Gemma 7B from Google (#971)
  • Code Llama2: 7B, 13B, and 70B sizes from Meta (#847)
  • @salman designed and implemented reward modeling for Mistral models (#840, #991)

Perf, memory, and quantization

  • We made improvements to our FSDP + Llama3 recipe, resulting in 13% more savings in allocated memory for the 8B model. (#865)
  • Added Int8 per token dynamic activation + int4 per axis grouped weight (8da4w) quantization (#884)

Data/Datasets

  • We added support for a widely requested feature - sample packing! This feature drastically speeds up model training - e.g. 2X faster with the alpaca dataset. (#875, #1109)
  • In addition to our instruct tuning, we now also support continued pretraining and include several example datasets like wikitext and CNN DailyMail. (#868)
  • Users can now train on multiple datasets using concat datasets (#889)
  • We now support OpenAI conversation style data (#890)

Miscellaneous

  • @jeromeku added a much more advanced profiler so users can understand the exact bottlenecks in their LLM training. (#1089)
  • We made several metric logging improvements:
    • Log tokens/sec, per-step logging, configurable memory logging (#831)
    • Better formatting for stdout memory logs (#817)
  • Users can now save models in a safetensor format. (#1096)
  • Updated activation checkpointing to support selective layer and selective op activation checkpointing (#785)
  • We worked with the Hugging Face team to provide support for loading adapter weights fine tuned via torchtune directly into the PEFT library. (#933)

Documentation

  • We wrote a new tutorial for fine-tuning Llama3 with chat data (#823) and revamped the datasets tutorial (#994)
  • Looooooooong overdue, but we added proper documentation for the tune CLI (#1052)
  • Improved contributing guide (#896)

Bug Fixes

  • @Optimox found and fixed a bug to ensure that LoRA dropout was correctly applied (#996)
  • Fixed a broken link for Llama3 tutorial in #805
  • Fixed Gemma model generation (#1016)
  • Bug workaround: to download CNN DailyMail, launch a single device recipe first and once it’s downloaded you can use the dataset for distributed recipes.

torchtune v0.1.0 (first release)

Overview

We are excited to announce the release of torchtune v0.1.0! torchtune is a PyTorch library for easily authoring, fine-tuning and experimenting with LLMs. The library emphasizes 4 key aspects:

  • Simplicity and Extensibility. Native-PyTorch, componentized design and easy-to-reuse abstractions
  • Correctness. High bar on proving the correctness of components and recipes
  • Stability. PyTorch just works. So should torchtune
  • Democratizing LLM fine-tuning. Works out-of-the-box on both consumer and professional hardware setups

torchtune is tested with the latest stable PyTorch release (2.2.2) as well as the preview nightly version.
