Compared to ChatGLM's [P-Tuning](https://github.com/THUDM/ChatGLM2-6B/tree/main/ptuning), LLaMA Factory's LoRA tuning offers up to **3.7 times faster** training speed with a better Rouge score on the advertising text generation task. By leveraging 4-bit quantization technique, LLaMA Factory's QLoRA further improves the efficiency regarding the GPU memory.
- **Rouge Score**: Rouge-2 score on the development set of the [advertising text generation](https://aclanthology.org/D19-1321.pdf) task. (bs=4, cutoff_len=1024)
[24/04/22] We provided a **[Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1eRTPn37ltBbYsISy9Aw2NuI2Aq5CQrD9?usp=sharing)** for fine-tuning the Llama-3 model on a free T4 GPU. Two Llama-3-derived models fine-tuned using LLaMA Factory are available at Hugging Face, check [Llama3-8B-Chinese-Chat](https://huggingface.co/shenzhi-wang/Llama3-8B-Chinese-Chat) and [Llama3-Chinese](https://huggingface.co/zhichen/Llama3-Chinese) for details.

[23/12/23] We supported **[unsloth](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth)**'s implementation to boost LoRA tuning for the LLaMA, Mistral and Yi models. Try `--use_unsloth` argument to activate unsloth patch. It achieves **170%** speed in our benchmark, check [this page](https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory/wiki/Performance-comparison) for details.
[23/12/12] We supported fine-tuning the latest MoE model **[Mixtral 8x7B](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1)** in our framework. See hardware requirement [here](#hardware-requirement).
[23/12/01] We supported downloading pre-trained models and datasets from the **[ModelScope Hub](https://modelscope.cn/models)** for Chinese mainland users. See [this tutorial](#use-modelscope-hub-optional) for usage.
[23/09/27] We supported **$S^2$-Attn** proposed by [LongLoRA](https://github.com/dvlab-research/LongLoRA) for the LLaMA models. Try `--shift_attn` argument to enable shift short attention.
[23/09/10] We supported **[FlashAttention-2](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention)**. Try `--flash_attn fa2` argument to enable FlashAttention-2 if you are using RTX4090, A100 or H100 GPUs.
[23/08/12] We supported **RoPE scaling** to extend the context length of the LLaMA models. Try `--rope_scaling linear` argument in training and `--rope_scaling dynamic` argument at inference to extrapolate the position embeddings.
[23/08/11] We supported **[DPO training](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18290)** for instruction-tuned models. See [this example](#dpo-training) to train your models.
[23/07/29] We released two instruction-tuned 13B models at Hugging Face. See these Hugging Face Repos ([LLaMA-2](https://huggingface.co/hiyouga/Llama-2-Chinese-13b-chat) / [Baichuan](https://huggingface.co/hiyouga/Baichuan-13B-sft)) for details.
[23/07/18] We developed an **all-in-one Web UI** for training, evaluation and inference. Try `train_web.py` to fine-tune models in your Web browser. Thank [@KanadeSiina](https://github.com/KanadeSiina) and [@codemayq](https://github.com/codemayq) for their efforts in the development.
[23/07/09] We released **[FastEdit](https://github.com/hiyouga/FastEdit)** ⚡🩹, an easy-to-use package for editing the factual knowledge of large language models efficiently. Please follow [FastEdit](https://github.com/hiyouga/FastEdit) if you are interested.
[23/06/29] We provided a **reproducible example** of training a chat model using instruction-following datasets, see [Baichuan-7B-sft](https://huggingface.co/hiyouga/Baichuan-7B-sft) for details.
[23/06/22] We aligned the [demo API](src/api_demo.py) with the [OpenAI's](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat) format where you can insert the fine-tuned model in **arbitrary ChatGPT-based applications**.
[23/06/03] We supported quantized training and inference (aka **[QLoRA](https://github.com/artidoro/qlora)**). Try `--quantization_bit 4/8` argument to work with quantized models.
> **Default module** is used for the `--lora_target` argument, you can use `--lora_target all` to specify all the available modules for better convergence.
> For the "base" models, the `--template` argument can be chosen from `default`, `alpaca`, `vicuna` etc. But make sure to use the **corresponding template** for the "instruct/chat" models.
>
> Remember to use the **SAME** template in training and inference.
Please refer to [data/README.md](data/README.md) for checking the details about the format of dataset files. You can either use datasets on HuggingFace / ModelScope hub or load the dataset in local disk.
If you want to enable the quantized LoRA (QLoRA) on the Windows platform, you will be required to install a pre-built version of `bitsandbytes` library, which supports CUDA 11.1 to 12.2, please select the appropriate [release version](https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/releases/tag/wheels) based on your CUDA version.
To enable FlashAttention-2 on the Windows platform, you need to install the precompiled `flash-attn` library, which supports CUDA 12.1 to 12.2. Please download the corresponding version from [flash-attention](https://github.com/bdashore3/flash-attention/releases) based on your requirements.
If you encountered display problems in LLaMA Board on Alibaba Cloud, try using the following command to set environment variables before starting LLaMA Board:
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](https://modelscope.cn/models), e.g., `LLM-Research/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct`.
