XTuner is a toolkit for efficiently fine-tuning LLM, developed by the MMRazor and MMDeploy teams.

• Efficiency: Support LLM fine-tuning on consumer-grade GPUs. The minimum GPU memory required for 7B LLM fine-tuning is only 8GB, indicating that users can use nearly any GPU (even the free resource, e.g., Colab) to fine-tune custom LLMs.
• Versatile: Support various LLMs (InternLM, Llama2, ChatGLM, Qwen, Baichuan2, ...), datasets (MOSS_003_SFT, Alpaca, WizardLM, oasst1, Open-Platypus, Code Alpaca, Colorist, ...) and algorithms (QLoRA, LoRA), allowing users to choose the most suitable solution for their requirements.
• Compatibility: Compatible with DeepSpeed 🚀 and HuggingFace 🤗 training pipeline, enabling effortless integration and utilization.

• Ready-to-use models and datasets from XTuner API Open In Colab

• QLoRA Fine-tune Open In Colab

• Plugin-based Chat Open In Colab

  Examples of Plugin-based Chat 🔥🔥🔥

• It is recommended to build a Python-3.10 virtual environment using conda

  conda create --name xtuner-env python=3.10 -y
  conda activate xtuner-env

• Install XTuner via pip

  pip install -U xtuner

  or with DeepSpeed integration

  pip install -U 'xtuner[deepspeed]'

• Install XTuner from source

  git clone https://github.com/InternLM/xtuner.git
  cd xtuner
  pip install -e '.[all]'

XTuner supports the efficient fine-tune (e.g., QLoRA) for LLMs. Dataset prepare guides can be found on dataset_prepare.md.

• Step 0, prepare the config. XTuner provides many ready-to-use configs and we can view all configs by

  xtuner list-cfg

  Or, if the provided configs cannot meet the requirements, please copy the provided config to the specified directory and make specific modifications by

  xtuner copy-cfg ${CONFIG_NAME} ${SAVE_PATH}

• Step 1, start fine-tuning.

  xtuner train ${CONFIG_NAME_OR_PATH}

  For example, we can start the QLoRA fine-tuning of InternLM-7B with oasst1 dataset by

  # On a single GPU
  xtuner train internlm_7b_qlora_oasst1_e3 --deepspeed deepspeed_zero2
  # On multiple GPUs
  (DIST) NPROC_PER_NODE=${GPU_NUM} xtuner train internlm_7b_qlora_oasst1_e3 --deepspeed deepspeed_zero2
  (SLURM) srun ${SRUN_ARGS} xtuner train internlm_7b_qlora_oasst1_e3 --launcher slurm --deepspeed deepspeed_zero2

  • --deepspeed means using DeepSpeed 🚀 to optimize the training. XTuner comes with several integrated strategies including ZeRO-1, ZeRO-2, and ZeRO-3. If you wish to disable this feature, simply remove this argument.

  • For more examples, please see finetune.md.

• Step 2, convert the saved PTH model (if using DeepSpeed, it will be a directory) to HuggingFace model, by

  xtuner convert pth_to_hf ${CONFIG_NAME_OR_PATH} ${PTH} ${SAVE_PATH}

XTuner provides tools to chat with pretrained / fine-tuned LLMs.

xtuner chat ${NAME_OR_PATH_TO_LLM} --adapter {NAME_OR_PATH_TO_ADAPTER} [optional arguments]

For example, we can start the chat with

InternLM-7B with adapter trained from Alpaca-enzh:

xtuner chat internlm/internlm-7b --adapter xtuner/internlm-7b-qlora-alpaca-enzh --prompt-template internlm_chat --system-template alpaca

Llama2-7b with adapter trained from MOSS-003-SFT:

xtuner chat meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf --adapter xtuner/Llama-2-7b-qlora-moss-003-sft --bot-name Llama2 --prompt-template moss_sft --system-template moss_sft --with-plugins calculate solve search --command-stop-word "<eoc>" --answer-stop-word "<eom>" --no-streamer

For more examples, please see chat.md.

• Step 0, merge the HuggingFace adapter to pretrained LLM, by

  xtuner convert merge \
   ${NAME_OR_PATH_TO_LLM} \
   ${NAME_OR_PATH_TO_ADAPTER} \
   ${SAVE_PATH} \
   --max-shard-size 2GB

• Step 1, deploy fine-tuned LLM with any other framework, such as LMDeploy 🚀.

  pip install lmdeploy
  python -m lmdeploy.pytorch.chat ${NAME_OR_PATH_TO_LLM} \
   --max_new_tokens 256 \
   --temperture 0.8 \
   --top_p 0.95 \
   --seed 0

  🔥 Seeking efficient inference with less GPU memory? Try 4-bit quantization from LMDeploy! For more details, see here.

• We recommend using OpenCompass, a comprehensive and systematic LLM evaluation library, which currently supports 50+ datasets with about 300,000 questions.

We appreciate all contributions to XTuner. Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for the contributing guideline.
