OpenMoE is a project aimed at igniting the open-source MoE community! We are releasing a family of open-sourced Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Large Language Models.
Our project began in the summer of 2023. On August 22, 2023, we released the first batch of intermediate checkpoints (OpenMoE-base&8B), along with the data and code [Twitter]. Subsequently, the OpenMoE-8B training was completed in November, 2023. After that, we embarked on explorations on 34B scale model, which is still ongoing.
As a small student team, instead of pursuing the best model with better data, computation, and human power, we devote to fully sharing our training data, strategies, model architecture, weights, and everything we have with the community. We hope this project will promote research on this promising field and invite more contributors to work on open-sourced MoE projects together!
[2024.01.12] The paper for the project and more evaluations are underway. For more information about the model, training, and evaluations, please visit our GitHub repository.
Model Weights
Currently, three models are released in total: OpenMoE-base, OpenMoE-8B(and its chat version), and OpenMoE-34B(intermediate checkpoint at 200B tokens).
We provide all these checkpoints on Huggingface(in pytorch) and Google Cloud Storage(in Jax).
The base model, which were trained using 128 billion tokens, served primarily for debugging purposes. After validating the effectiveness of our model architecture, we did not pursue further training. Consequently, their performance might not be very well, and the checkpoint are not suitable for practical applications. Better performence can be oberved from our 8B or 34B versions.
The OpenMoE-8B with 4 MoE layers and 32 experts has been trained by 1.1T tokens. The SFT version has also been released after we finetuned the OpenMoE-8B-1.1T on the wildchat dataset's GPT-4 subset. Besides, we also provide some intermediate checkpoints at 200B and 890B tokens for research purposes.
We are still training our OpenMoE-34B, which is a MoE model with 8 MoE layer and 32 experts. We released the intermediate checkpoint trained on 200B tokens on huggingface. If you are interested in the latest checkpoint, please feel free to drop Fuzhao an email (f.xue@u.nus.edu).
Get Started
Inference with Pytorch
Our PyToch implementation is supported by Colossal AI. You can install our forked version directly for easier setup:
Then, you can inference by the following code on a A100 80GB machine.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig, AutoModelForCausalLM
model_path = "ckpts/openmoe-8b-chat"
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_path)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_path,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
trust_remote_code=True,
device_map='auto'
)
query = 'Question: How do I kill a process? Answer:'
prompt = f'''<<SYS>>
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant.
<</SYS>>
<s>[INST] {query} [/INST]'''
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to('cuda')
sample = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=32)
print(tokenizer.decode(sample[0]))
If you don't have GPUs on your hand, don't worry! you can still experience our model on Colab(Note: this require a $10 Colab Pro Plan). You can experiment with OpenMoE-8B-Chat on Colab directly by this.
Running OpenMoE-8B requires ~49GB of memory in float32 or ~23GB in bfloat16. It can be executed on a Colab CPU High-RAM(in float32) runtime or an A100-40GB(in bfloat16) runtime, both of which require Colab Pro. The float16 precision is not recommended because sometimes it will lead to performance degradation.
Runing the OpenMoE-34B requries ~89GB of memory in bfloat16 or ~180GB in float32. To perform inference on multiple devices/offloading model weights to RAM, please refer to the script here.
A more detailed env setup script can be found here, or if you use docker, you can refer to the dockerfile here. Note: you don't need t5x and Jax dependency if you are using our huggingface ckpts without converting the jax checkpoints.
Besides, we also provide a Colab tutorial demonstrating the jax checkpoint conversion.
