For Windows users
Install BitsAndBytes
If you want to enable the quantized LoRA (QLoRA) on the Windows platform, you need to install a pre-built version of bitsandbytes library, which supports CUDA 11.1 to 12.2, please select the appropriate release version based on your CUDA version.
To enable FlashAttention-2 on the Windows platform, please use the script from flash-attention-windows-wheel to compile and install it by yourself.
For Ascend NPU users
To install LLaMA Factory on Ascend NPU devices, please upgrade Python to version 3.10 or higher and specify extra dependencies: pip install -e ".[torch-npu,metrics]". Additionally, you need to install the Ascend CANN Toolkit and Kernels. Please follow the installation tutorial or use the following commands:

Remember to use ASCEND_RT_VISIBLE_DEVICES instead of CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to specify the device to use.
If you cannot infer model on NPU devices, try setting do_sample: false in the configurations.
To use QLoRA based on bitsandbytes on Ascend NPU, please follow these 3 steps:
Manually compile bitsandbytes: Refer to the installation documentation for the NPU version of bitsandbytes to complete the compilation and installation. The compilation requires a cmake version of at least 3.22.1 and a g++ version of at least 12.x.
bash
1# Install bitsandbytes from source2# Clone bitsandbytes repo, Ascend NPU backend is currently enabled on multi-backend-refactor branch3git clone -b multi-backend-refactor https://github.com/bitsandbytes-foundation/bitsandbytes.git
4cd bitsandbytes/

bash
1git clone -b main https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
2cd transformers
3pip install.
Set double_quantization: false in the configuration. You can refer to the example.
Data Preparation
Please refer to data/README.md for checking the details about the format of dataset files. You can use datasets on HuggingFace / ModelScope / Modelers hub, load the dataset in local disk, or specify a path to s3/gcs cloud storage.
[!NOTE]
Please update data/dataset_info.json to use your custom dataset.
You can also use Easy Dataset or GraphGen to create synthetic data for fine-tuning.
Quickstart
Use the following 3 commands to run LoRA fine-tuning, inference and merging of the Llama3-8B-Instruct model, respectively.
If you have trouble with downloading models and datasets from Hugging Face, you can use ModelScope.
export USE_MODELSCOPE_HUB=1 # `set USE_MODELSCOPE_HUB=1` for Windows
Train the model by specifying a model ID of the ModelScope Hub as the model_name_or_path. You can find a full list of model IDs at ModelScope Hub, e.g., LLM-Research/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.
Download from Modelers Hub
You can also use Modelers Hub to download models and datasets.
export USE_OPENMIND_HUB=1 # `set USE_OPENMIND_HUB=1` for Windows
Train the model by specifying a model ID of the Modelers Hub as the model_name_or_path. You can find a full list of model IDs at Modelers Hub, e.g., TeleAI/TeleChat-7B-pt.
Use W&B Logger
To use Weights & Biases for logging experimental results, you need to add the following arguments to yaml files.
yaml
1report_to: wandb
2run_name: test_run # optional
Set WANDB_API_KEY to your key when launching training tasks to log in with your W&B account.
Use SwanLab Logger
To use SwanLab for logging experimental results, you need to add the following arguments to yaml files.
When launching training tasks, you can log in to SwanLab in three ways:
Add swanlab_api_key=<your_api_key> to the yaml file, and set it to your API key.
Set the environment variable SWANLAB_API_KEY to your API key.
Use the swanlab login command to complete the login.
