🔥 To Train ChatGPT In 5 Minutes with ColossalAI

Install

pip install minichatgpt

Usage

The main entrypoint is Trainer. We only support PPO trainer now. We support many training strategies:

• NaiveStrategy: simplest strategy. Train on single GPU.
• DDPStrategy: use torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel. Train on multi GPUs.
• ColossalAIStrategy: use Gemini and Zero of ColossalAI. It eliminates model duplication on each GPU and supports offload. It's very useful when training large models on multi GPUs.

Simplest usage:

from minichatgpt.trainer import PPOTrainer
from minichatgpt.trainer.strategies import ColossalAIStrategy
from minichatgpt.nn import GPTActor, GPTCritic, RewardModel
from copy import deepcopy
from colossalai.nn.optimizer import HybridAdam

strategy = ColossalAIStrategy()

with strategy.model_init_context():
  # init your model here
  # load pretrained gpt2
  actor = GPTActor(pretrained='gpt2')
  critic = GPTCritic()
  initial_model = deepcopy(actor).cuda()
  reward_model = RewardModel(deepcopy(critic.model), deepcopy(critic.value_head)).cuda()

actor_optim = HybridAdam(actor.parameters(), lr=5e-6)
critic_optim = HybridAdam(critic.parameters(), lr=5e-6)

# prepare models and optimizers
(actor, actor_optim), (critic, critic_optim), reward_model, initial_model = strategy.prepare(
        (actor, actor_optim), (critic, critic_optim), reward_model, initial_model)

# load saved model checkpoint after preparing
strategy.load_model(actor, 'actor_checkpoint.pt', strict=False)
# load saved optimizer checkpoint after preparing
strategy.load_optimizer(actor_optim, 'actor_optim_checkpoint.pt')

trainer = PPOTrainer(strategy,
                     actor,
                     critic,
                     reward_model,
                     initial_model,
                     actor_optim,
                     critic_optim,
                     ...)

trainer.fit(dataset, ...)

# save model checkpoint after fitting on only rank0
strategy.save_model(actor, 'actor_checkpoint.pt', only_rank0=True)
# save optimizer checkpoint on all ranks
strategy.save_optimizer(actor_optim, 'actor_optim_checkpoint.pt', only_rank0=False)

We also support training reward model with true-world data. See examples/train_reward_model.py.

FAQ

How to save/load checkpoint

To load pretrained model, you can simply use huggingface pretrained models:

# load OPT-350m pretrained model
actor = OPTActor(pretrained='facebook/opt-350m')

To save model checkpoint:

# save model checkpoint on only rank0
strategy.save_model(actor, 'actor_checkpoint.pt', only_rank0=True)

This function must be called after strategy.prepare().

For DDP strategy, model weights are replicated on all ranks. And for ColossalAI strategy, model weights may be sharded, but all-gather will be applied before returning state dict. You can set only_rank0=True for both of them, which only saves checkpoint on rank0, to save disk space usage. The checkpoint is float32.

To save optimizer checkpoint:

# save optimizer checkpoint on all ranks
strategy.save_optimizer(actor_optim, 'actor_optim_checkpoint.pt', only_rank0=False)

For DDP strategy, optimizer states are replicated on all ranks. You can set only_rank0=True. But for ColossalAI strategy, optimizer states are sharded over all ranks, and no all-gather will be applied. So for ColossalAI strategy, you can only set only_rank0=False. That is to say, each rank will save a cehckpoint. When loading, each rank should load the corresponding part.

Note that different stategy may have different shapes of optimizer checkpoint.

To load model checkpoint:

# load saved model checkpoint after preparing
strategy.load_model(actor, 'actor_checkpoint.pt', strict=False)

To load optimizer checkpoint:

# load saved optimizer checkpoint after preparing
strategy.load_optimizer(actor_optim, 'actor_optim_checkpoint.pt')

Todo

• implement PPO fine-tuning
• implement training reward model
• support LoRA
• implement PPO-ptx fine-tuning
• integrate with Ray
• support more RL paradigms, like Implicit Language Q-Learning (ILQL)
