Platform For AI:Deploy and fine-tune Llama 3 series models

Model overview

Llama 3 is a series of open-source large language models (LLMs) from Meta AI, pre-trained on over 15 trillion tokens of public data. The series offers multiple versions and sizes, including Base and Instruct variants. PAI Model Gallery provides deployment and fine-tuning support for the Llama 3 series.

Prerequisites

• Model Gallery supports Llama 3 models only in the China (Beijing), China (Shanghai), China (Shenzhen), and China (Hangzhou) regions.

• QLoRA fine-tuning requires V100, P100, or T4 GPUs with at least 16 GB of memory.

    "instruction": "You are a cardiologist. Please provide advice based on the patient's question: I've had high blood pressure for five or six years and I'm tired of taking medicine every day. Is there anything that can cure it? What's the best counter for high blood pressure?",
    "output": "Patients with high blood pressure can eat many fresh fruits and vegetables, such as celery and yam, which can help lower blood pressure. You should also maintain a low-salt, low-fat, and low-cholesterol diet and get regular physical exercise. It's crucial to continue taking antihypertensive medication as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it without medical advice, as this could affect your blood pressure."

    "instruction": "You are a respiratory doctor. Please provide advice based on the patient's question: How do I treat a cold with cough and white phlegm?",
    "output": "For a wind-cold type of common cold with a cough and white phlegm, symptoms typically include a cough with abundant, clear or white sputum, chest tightness, nasal congestion, a clear runny nose, body aches, and fatigue. In clinical practice, Xing Su San and Er Chen Wan are often used for treatment. While on medication, avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods. Opt for an easily digestible, nutritious, and light diet, and make sure to get plenty of rest."

    "rejected": "That's understandable. I'm sure your tool will be returned to you soon."

1. On the Model Details page, click Fine-tune in the upper-right corner. Configure the following key parameters:

   • Dataset: Upload data to an OSS bucket, or specify a dataset from NAS or CPFS. A public dataset provided by PAI is also available for testing.

   • Compute resources: Requires V100, P100, or T4 GPUs with at least 16 GB of memory. Ensure a sufficient resource quota.

   • Hyperparameters: The following table describes the supported hyperparameters. Adjust them based on your dataset and compute resources, or use the defaults.

     Hyperparameter	Type	Default	Required	Description
     training_strategy	string	sft	Yes	Fine-tuning method. Valid values: sft and dpo.
     learning_rate	float	5e-5	Yes	Learning rate. Controls the step size for weight adjustments.
     num_train_epochs	int	1	Yes	Number of training epochs.
     per_device_train_batch_size	int	1	Yes	Number of samples processed per GPU in each training iteration. Larger values increase efficiency but require more memory.
     seq_length	int	128	Yes	Maximum input sequence length processed per iteration.
     lora_dim	int	32	No	LoRA dimension. When lora_dim > 0, LoRA/QLoRA training is enabled.
     lora_alpha	int	32	No	LoRA alpha scaling factor. Active when lora_dim > 0 for LoRA/QLoRA training.
     dpo_beta	float	0.1	No	Controls how much the model relies on the preference data during DPO fine-tuning.
     load_in_4bit	bool	false	No	If true, loads the model in 4-bit quantization. If lora_dim > 0, load_in_4bit is true, and load_in_8bit is false, 4-bit QLoRA training is used.
     load_in_8bit	bool	false	No	If true, loads the model in 8-bit quantization. If lora_dim > 0, load_in_8bit is true, and load_in_4bit is false, 8-bit QLoRA training is used.
     gradient_accumulation_steps	int	8	No	Number of gradient accumulation steps before a weight update.
     apply_chat_template	bool	true	No	If true, applies the model's default chat template to the training data. For example: User prompt: <|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\n + instruction + <|eot_id|> Model response: <|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n + output + <|eot_id|>

2. Click Fine-tune. You are redirected to the training job page, where you can monitor job status and view logs.

   

   After training is complete, click Deploy in the upper-right corner. PAI automatically registers the fine-tuned model in AI Asset Management. For more information, see Register and manage models.

Use the PAI SDK

You can also access Model Gallery models through the PAI SDK for Python. Install and configure the SDK:

# Install the PAI SDK for Python
python -m pip install alipai --upgrade

# Interactively configure your AccessKey, PAI workspace, and other information
python -m pai.toolkit.config

For details on obtaining an AccessKey pair and workspace information, see Installation and configuration.

Deploy and call the model

Deploy the Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct model to EAS by using the pre-configured settings from the Model Gallery.

from pai.model import RegisteredModel

# Get the model from PAI
model = RegisteredModel(
    model_name="Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct",
    model_provider="pai"
)

# Deploy the model
predictor = model.deploy(
    service="llama3_chat_example"
)

# You can open the deployed web application from the inference service details page
print(predictor.console_uri)

Fine-tune the model

After retrieving a model from the Model Gallery, start a fine-tuning job.

# Get the fine-tuning estimator for the model
est = model.get_estimator()

# Get the public dataset and pre-trained model provided by PAI
training_inputs = model.get_estimator_inputs()

# Use a custom dataset
# training_inputs.update(
#     {
#         "train": "<The OSS path or local path to your training dataset>",
#         "validation": "<The OSS path or local path to your validation dataset>"
#     }
# )

# Submit the fine-tuning job with the default data
est.fit(
    inputs=training_inputs
)

# View the OSS path of the output model
print(est.model_data())
