Problem

SFTTrainer is a LLM fine-tuning tool provided by HuggingFace team, that can easily adjust many hyper-parameters and config at the fine-tuning task. In the process, response_template is the special string template we need to pass into the tool, any response right by it will be computed the loss.

Introduction

RAG-based LLM is a well-known architecture in current usage of Large Language Models (LLM). It involves “retrieval” to provide the model with prior knowledge that it lacks during training, enabling the model to answer questions in the context of specific information.

Problem

Yesterday, I developed a model merging program. This time I have no enough gpu memory to merge the models in only one time, so I tried to merge layer by layer. I found the memory of GPU is easily to release but CPU didn’t.

Introduction

Today I was reading the training source code of DreamBooth, and I found the tempfile built-in module; I happened to reconstruct a script for model’s layer merging, suddenly thought that the module would make the code more elegant, so I made this note.
