Loading the Model

  • Load the LLM model (eleuther AI GPT Neo x20b) from Hugging Face's Model Hub
  • Configure bits and bytes for 4-bit quantization and B float 16 data type
  • Prepare the model for k-bit training
  • Get the number of trainable parameters

Data Preparation

  • Load the dataset from the datasets library
  • Feed the data through the tokenizer
  • Convert data to machine-readable tokens
  • Check the first line of the dataset

Training Q Laura Parameters

  • Define hyperparameters for training
  • Use PagedAdam W-8bit Optimizer
  • Disable caching for training, enable for inference
  • Train the Q Laura parameters

Saving and Uploading

  • Save the Q Laura parameters locally
  • Or upload them to Hugging Face's Model Hub
  • Choose the best hyperparameters for optimal results
  • Perform hyperparameter tuning if desired

Inference

  • Tokenize the input text
  • Feed tokens through Q Laura
  • Convert machine-readable outputs to human-readable
