Features

• Various models: LLaMA, LLaVA, Mistral, Mixtral-MoE, Qwen, Yi, Gemma, Baichuan, ChatGLM, Phi, etc.
• Integrated methods: (Continuous) pre-training, (multimodal) supervised fine-tuning, reward modeling, PPO, DPO, KTO and ORPO.
• Scalable resources: 32-bit full-tuning, 16-bit freeze-tuning, 16-bit LoRA and 2/4/8-bit QLoRA via AQLM/AWQ/GPTQ/LLM.int8.
• Advanced algorithms: GaLore, BAdam, DoRA, LongLoRA, LLaMA Pro, Mixture-of-Depths, LoRA+, LoftQ and Agent tuning.
• Practical tricks: FlashAttention-2, Unsloth, RoPE scaling, NEFTune and rsLoRA.
• Experiment monitors: LlamaBoard, TensorBoard, Wandb, MLflow, etc.
• Faster inference: OpenAI-style API, Gradio UI and CLI with vLLM worker.

Benchmark

Compared to ChatGLM's P-Tuning, LLaMA Factory's LoRA tuning offers up to 3.7 times faster training speed with a better Rouge score on the advertising text generation task. By leveraging 4-bit quantization technique, LLaMA Factory's QLoRA further improves the efficiency regarding the GPU memory.

Definitions

• Training Speed: the number of training samples processed per second during the training. (bs=4, cutoff_len=1024)
• Rouge Score: Rouge-2 score on the development set of the advertising text generation task. (bs=4, cutoff_len=1024)
• GPU Memory: Peak GPU memory usage in 4-bit quantized training. (bs=1, cutoff_len=1024)
• We adopt pre_seq_len=128 for ChatGLM's P-Tuning and lora_rank=32 for LLaMA Factory's LoRA tuning.

Getting Started

Installation

[!IMPORTANT]
Installation is mandatory.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory.git
cd LLaMA-Factory
pip install -e .[torch,metrics]

Extra dependencies available: torch, metrics, deepspeed, bitsandbytes, vllm, galore, badam, gptq, awq, aqlm, qwen, modelscope, quality

[!TIP]
Use pip install --no-deps -e . to resolve package conflicts.

For Windows users

If you want to enable the quantized LoRA (QLoRA) on the Windows platform, you need to install a pre-built version of bitsandbytes library, which supports CUDA 11.1 to 12.2, please select the appropriate release version based on your CUDA version.

pip install https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/releases/download/wheels/bitsandbytes-0.41.2.post2-py3-none-win_amd64.whl

To enable FlashAttention-2 on the Windows platform, you need to install the precompiled flash-attn library, which supports CUDA 12.1 to 12.2. Please download the corresponding version from flash-attention based on your requirements.

For Ascend NPU users

To utilize Ascend NPU devices for (distributed) training and inference, you need to install the torch-npu library and the Ascend CANN Kernels.

Requirement	Minimum	Recommend
CANN	8.0.RC1	8.0.RC1
torch	2.2.0	2.2.0
torch-npu	2.2.0	2.2.0
deepspeed	0.13.2	0.13.2

Docker image:

• 32GB: Download page
• 64GB: Coming soon

Remember to use ASCEND_RT_VISIBLE_DEVICES instead of CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to specify the device to use.

If you cannot infer model on NPU devices, try setting do_sample: false in the configurations.

Data Preparation

Please refer to data/README.md for checking the details about the format of dataset files. You can either use datasets on HuggingFace / ModelScope hub or load the dataset in local disk.

[!NOTE]
Please update data/dataset_info.json to use your custom dataset.

Quickstart

Use the following 3 commands to run LoRA fine-tuning, inference and merging of the Llama3-8B-Instruct model, respectively.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 llamafactory-cli train examples/lora_single_gpu/llama3_lora_sft.yaml
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 llamafactory-cli chat examples/inference/llama3_lora_sft.yaml
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 llamafactory-cli export examples/merge_lora/llama3_lora_sft.yaml

See examples/README.md for advanced usage (including distributed training).

[!TIP]
Use llamafactory-cli help to show help information.

Fine-Tuning with LLaMA Board GUI (powered by Gradio)

[!IMPORTANT]
LLaMA Board GUI only supports training on a single GPU.

Use local environment

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 GRADIO_SHARE=1 llamafactory-cli webui

For Alibaba Cloud PAI or AutoDL users

If you encountered display problems in LLaMA Board on Alibaba Cloud PAI, try using the following command to set environment variables before starting LLaMA Board:

export GRADIO_SERVER_PORT=7860 GRADIO_ROOT_PATH=/${JUPYTER_NAME}/proxy/7860/

If you are using AutoDL, please install a specific version of Gradio:

pip install gradio==4.10.0

Use Docker

docker build -f ./Dockerfile -t llama-factory:latest .
docker run --gpus=all \
    -v ./hf_cache:/root/.cache/huggingface/ \
    -v ./data:/app/data \
    -v ./output:/app/output \
    -e CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 \
    -p 7860:7860 \
    --shm-size 16G \
    --name llama_factory \
    -d llama-factory:latest

Use Docker Compose

docker compose -f ./docker-compose.yml up -d

Details about volume

• hf_cache: Utilize Hugging Face cache on the host machine. Reassignable if a cache already exists in a different directory.
• data: Place datasets on this dir of the host machine so that they can be selected on LLaMA Board GUI.
• output: Set export dir to this location so that the merged result can be accessed directly on the host machine.

Deploy with OpenAI-style API and vLLM

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 API_PORT=8000 llamafactory-cli api examples/inference/llama3_vllm.yaml

Download from ModelScope Hub

If you have trouble with downloading models and datasets from Hugging Face, you can use ModelScope.

export USE_MODELSCOPE_HUB=1 # `set USE_MODELSCOPE_HUB=1` for Windows

Train the model by specifying a model ID of the ModelScope Hub as the --model_name_or_path. You can find a full list of model IDs at ModelScope Hub, e.g., LLM-Research/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.
