- CarperAI, Louis Castricato, and Stability.ai for the very generous sponsorship to work on machine learning research.
- Phil Wang (Lucidrains) for his inspiring work and input on training and architectures.
- Dakota ("He berk reacted once"), Guac, Zach, and Aman for providing information about Huggingface and Slurm. I typically only use Apex and DeepSpeed.
This work is based on Lucidrain's PaLM-rlhf-pytorch. Please be sure to donate to Phil's work: https://github.com/sponsors/lucidrains#sponsors
Four different size PaLM models (150m, 410m, 1b, 2.1b) have been trained with 8k context length on all of C4. The models are compatible with Lucidrain's Toolformer-pytorch, PaLM-pytorch, and PaLM-rlhf-pytorch. A fifth 3b model is currently being trained. These are currently the baseline versions of the models and additional training will be done at a larger scale. All of the models will be further instruction-tuned on FLAN to provide flan-PaLM models.
The models were trained with Flash Attention, Xpos Rotary Embeddings for better length extrapolation, and multi-query single-key-value attention for more efficient decoding. The models have been uploaded to Torch hub and the files are additionally stored on the Huggingface hub. You can find the model each of the PyTorch model files here: PaLM-150m, PaLM-410m, PaLM-1b, PaLM-2b. If the models are not downloading from Torch hub correctly be sure to clear out the checkpoint and model folders in .cache/torch/hub/. If that still does not resolve the issue then you can download the files from the Huggingface repositories. Huggingface integration is currently a work-in-progress.
Make sure you install the requirements before trying to run the models.
git clone https://github.com/conceptofmind/PaLM.git
cd PaLM/
pip3 install -r requirements.txtYou can load the pretrained models for additional training or fine-tuning from Torch hub by using:
model = torch.hub.load("conceptofmind/PaLM", "palm_410m_8k_v0").cuda()You can also load the PyTorch model checkpoints directly by:
from palm_rlhf_pytorch import PaLM
model = PaLM(
num_tokens=50304, dim=1024, depth=24, dim_head=128, heads=8, flash_attn=True, qk_rmsnorm = False,
).cuda()
model.load('/palm_410m_8k_v0.pt')If you would like to use the models on CPU you can do:
device = torch.device("cpu")
model = PaLM(
num_tokens=50304, dim=1024, depth=24, dim_head=128, heads=8, flash_attn=False, qk_rmsnorm = False,
).to(device).eval()
checkpoint = torch.load('./palm_410m_8k_v0.pt', map_location=device)
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint)To generate text with the models you can use the command line:
- prompt - Text prompt to generate text.
- seq_len - Sequence length for generated text. Default is 256.
- temperature - Sampling temperature. Default is 0.8.
- filter_thres - Filter threshold for sampling. Default is 0.9.
- dtype - A flag that can be used to change the dtype of the model for inference with Flash Attention. Requires an A100 GPU.
- model - Model to use for generation. There are three different model sizes (150m, 410m, 1b, 2.1b): "palm_150m_8k_v0", "palm_410m_8k_v0", "palm_1b_8k_v0", and "palm_2b_8k_v0". Default is "palm_410m_8k_v0".
python3 inference.py "My dog is very cute" --seq_len 256 --temperature 0.8 --filter_thres 0.9 --model "palm_410m_8k_v0"Inference uses torch.compile(), Flash Attention, and Hidet for performance improvements. A generic inference script, inference.py is provided for you to play around with if you want to extend generation by adding streaming or other features.
An example generation with the 410 million parameter model is:
My dog is very cute, but not very good at socializing with other dogs. The dog loves all new people and he likes to hang out with other dogs. I do need to take him to the park with other dogs. He does have some bad puppy breath, but it is only when he runs off in a direction he doesn't want to go. currently my dog is being very naughty. He would like to say hi in the park, but would rather take great care of himself for a while. He also has bad breath. I am going to have to get him some oral braces. It's been 3 months. The dog has some biting pains around his mouth. The dog is very timid and scared. The dog gets aggressive towards people. The dog is very playful and they are a little spoiled. I am not sure if it's a dog thing or if he is spoiled. He loves his toys and just wants to play. He plays with his toys all the time and even goes on walks. He is a little picky, not very good with other dogs. The dog is just a little puppy that goes to the park. He is a super friendly dog. He has not had a bad mouth or bad breath An example generation with the 1 billion parameter models: I was just thinking we’d have a super fun family engagement session outside the city but the air was pretty gusty and the rain was coming down and the sun was setting so we decided we should be outside. We started out at the NC Arboretum in Chapel Hill and it was such a great place for family photos. You can’t beat the views here by the rose gardens and the light is stunning at night. We got to Spencer’s dad’s house in Chapel Hill and got to play with his kids for a bit and then set up for a photoshoot
I provide a distributed training script, train_distributed.py which was used to train each of the models. I used accelerate and slurm for multinode training. The models were trained on 64 A100 (80 GB) GPUs. You can freely change the model layers and hyperparameter configuration to meet your hardware requirements. The models were trained with Flash Attention, Xpos Rotary Embeddings for better length extrapolation, and multi-query single-key-value attention for more efficient decoding. I used decoupled weight decay Adam W for training. There is the option to use Mitchell Wortsman's Stable Adam W as well. I will be testing this for larger runs. You are able to load the models weights and alter the training script to fine-tune the models. I will be adding a specific fine-tuning script in the very near future with exploration into LoRA.
| Model Size | Num Tokens | Dim | Depth | Dim Head | Heads | Flash Attention | Learning Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 M | 50304 | 768 | 12 | 128 | 8 | True | 6e-4 |
| 410 M | 50304 | 1024 | 24 | 128 | 8 | True | 3e-4 |
| 1 B | 50304 | 2048 | 16 | 128 | 8 | True | 3e-4 |
| 2.1 B | 50304 | 2560 | 24 | 128 | 8 | True | 1.8e-4 |
I tried numerous different experiments related QK normalization, XPos, Stable Adam W, and long context training. I will be releasing logs and findings.
