Fine-Tune Llama 3 with LoRA on AWS EC2

View on Github

This example demonstrates how to fine-tune a Meta Llama 3 model with LoRA on AWS EC2 using Runhouse. See also our related post for Llama 2 fine-tuning.

Make sure to sign the waiver on the Hugging Face model page so that you can access it.

Set up credentials and dependencies

Install the required dependencies:

$ pip install "runhouse[aws]"

We'll be launching an AWS EC2 instance via SkyPilot, so we need to make sure our AWS credentials are set up:

$ aws configure $ sky check

To download the Llama 3 model on our EC2 instance, we need to set up a Hugging Face token:

$ export HF_TOKEN=<your huggingface token>

Create a model class

We import runhouse, the only required library we need locally:

import runhouse as rh

Next, we define a class that will hold the various methods needed to fine-tune the model. We'll later wrap this with rh.module. This is a Runhouse class that allows you to run code in your class on a remote machine.

Define Runhouse primitives

Now, we define code that will run locally when we run this script and set up our Runhouse module on a remote cluster. First, we create a cluster with the desired instance type and provider. Our instance_type here is defined as A10G:1, which is the accelerator type and count that we need. We could alternatively specify a specific AWS instance type, such as p3.2xlarge or g4dn.xlarge.

Learn more in the Runhouse docs on clusters.

Note

Make sure that all the following code runs within a if __name__ == "__main__": block, as shown below. Otherwise, the script code will run when Runhouse attempts to run code remotely. We'll break up the block in this example to improve readability.

if __name__ == "__main__": cluster = rh.cluster( name="rh-a10x", instance_type="A10G:1", memory="32+", provider="aws", ).up_if_not()

Next, we define the environment for our module. This includes the required dependencies that need to be installed on the remote machine, as well as any secrets that need to be synced up from local to remote. Passing huggingface to the secrets parameter will load the Hugging Face token we set up earlier.

Learn more in the Runhouse docs on envs.

env = rh.env( name="ft_env", reqs=[ "torch", "tensorboard", "scipy", "peft==0.4.0", "bitsandbytes==0.40.2", "transformers==4.31.0", "trl==0.4.7", "accelerate", ], secrets=["huggingface"], # Needed to download Llama 3 from Hugging Face )

Finally, we define our module and run it on the remote cluster. We construct it normally and then call to to run it on the remote cluster. Alternatively, we could first check for an existing instance on the cluster by calling cluster.get(name="llama3-medical-model"). This would return the remote model after an initial run. If we want to update the module each time we run this script, we prefer to use to.

Note that we also pass the env object to the to method, which will ensure that the environment is set up on the remote machine before the module is run.

RemoteFineTuner = rh.module(FineTuner).to(cluster, env=env, name="FineTuner") fine_tuner_remote = RemoteFineTuner(name="llama3-medical-model")

Fine-tune the model on the cluster

We can call the tune method on the model class instance as if it were running locally. This will run the function on the remote cluster and return the response to our local machine automatically. Further calls will also run on the remote machine, and maintain state that was updated between calls, like self.fine_tuned_model. Once the base model is fine-tuned, we save this new model on the cluster and use it to generate our text predictions.

Note

For this example we are using a small subset of 1000 samples that are already compatible with the model's prompt format.

fine_tuner_remote.tune()

Generate Text

Now that we have fine-tuned our model, we can generate text by calling the generate method with our query:

query = "What's the best treatment for sunburn?" generated_text = fine_tuner_remote.generate(query) print(generated_text)
