GitHub - YuchuanHuaying/unsloth: Finetune Llama 3, Mistral & Gemma LLMs 2-5x faster with 80% less memory

Finetune Mistral, Gemma, Llama 2-5x faster with 80% less memory!

✨ Finetune for Free

All notebooks are beginner friendly! Add your dataset, click "Run All", and you'll get a 2x faster finetuned model which can be exported to GGUF, vLLM or uploaded to Hugging Face.

Unsloth supports	Free Notebooks	Performance	Memory use
Llama-3 8b	▶️ Start on Colab	2x faster	60% less
Gemma 7b	▶️ Start on Colab	2.4x faster	71% less
Mistral 7b	▶️ Start on Colab	2.2x faster	73% less
TinyLlama	▶️ Start on Colab	3.9x faster	82% less
CodeLlama 34b A100	▶️ Start on Colab	1.9x faster	49% less
Mistral 7b 1xT4	▶️ Start on Kaggle	5x faster*	73% less
DPO - Zephyr	▶️ Start on Colab	1.9x faster	43% less

Benchmarking compared to FA2 + Hugging Face combined.
This conversational notebook is useful for ShareGPT ChatML / Vicuna templates.
This text completion notebook is for raw text. This DPO notebook replicates Zephyr.
* Kaggle has 2x T4s, but we use 1. Due to overhead, 1x T4 is 5x faster.

🦥 Unsloth.ai News

📣 NEW! Llama-3 8b now works! Llama-3 70b also works (just change the model name in the notebook).
📣 NEW! We cut memory usage by a further 30% and now support fine-tuning of LLMs with 4x longer context windows! No change required if you're using our notebooks. To enable, simply change 1 line:

model = FastLanguageModel.get_peft_model(
    model,
    use_gradient_checkpointing = "unsloth", # <<<<<<<
)

📣 CodeGemma now works along with Gemma 7b and Gemma 2b
📣 2x faster inference added for all our models
📣 DPO support is now included. More info on DPO
📣 We did a blog with 🤗Hugging Face and are in their official docs! Check out the SFT docs and DPO docs

⭐ Key Features

All kernels written in OpenAI's Triton language. Manual backprop engine.
0% loss in accuracy - no approximation methods - all exact.
No change of hardware. Supports NVIDIA GPUs since 2018+. Minimum CUDA Capability 7.0 (V100, T4, Titan V, RTX 20, 30, 40x, A100, H100, L40 etc) Check your GPU! GTX 1070, 1080 works, but is slow.
Works on Linux and Windows via WSL.
Supports 4bit and 16bit QLoRA / LoRA finetuning via bitsandbytes.
Open source trains 5x faster - see Unsloth Pro for up to 30x faster training!
If you trained a model with 🦥Unsloth, you can use this cool sticker!

💾 Installation Instructions

Conda Installation

Select either pytorch-cuda=11.8 for CUDA 11.8 or pytorch-cuda=12.1 for CUDA 12.1. If you have mamba, use mamba instead of conda for faster solving. See this Github issue for help on debugging Conda installs.

conda create --name unsloth_env python=3.10
conda activate unsloth_env

conda install pytorch-cuda=<12.1/11.8> pytorch cudatoolkit xformers -c pytorch -c nvidia -c xformers

pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

pip install --no-deps trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes

Pip Installation

Do NOT use this if you have Anaconda. You must use the Conda install method, or else stuff will BREAK.

Find your CUDA version via

import torch; torch.version.cuda

For Pytorch 2.1.0: You can update Pytorch via Pip (interchange cu121 / cu118). Go to https://pytorch.org/ to learn more. Select either cu118 for CUDA 11.8 or cu121 for CUDA 12.1. If you have a RTX 3060 or higher (A100, H100 etc), use the "ampere" path. For Pytorch 2.1.1: go to step 3. For Pytorch 2.2.0: go to step 4.

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir torch==2.1.0 triton \
  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

pip install "unsloth[cu118] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

For Pytorch 2.1.1: Use the "ampere" path for newer RTX 30xx GPUs or higher.

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir torch==2.1.1 triton \
  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

pip install "unsloth[cu118-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

For Pytorch 2.2.0: Use the "ampere" path for newer RTX 30xx GPUs or higher.

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir torch==2.2.0 triton \
  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

pip install "unsloth[cu118-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

If you get errors, try the below first, then go back to step 1:

pip install --upgrade pip

For Pytorch 2.2.1:

# RTX 3090, 4090 Ampere GPUs:
pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install --no-deps packaging ninja einops flash-attn xformers trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes

# Pre Ampere RTX 2080, T4, GTX 1080 GPUs:
pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install --no-deps xformers trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes

To troubleshoot installs try the below (all must succeed). Xformers should mostly all be available.

nvcc
python -m xformers.info
python -m bitsandbytes
