#### How to add custom prompts
1. Add your method to a file in [prompt_strategies](src/axolotl/prompt_strategies). Please see other files as example.
2. Use your custom file name as the dataset type.
Optionally, download some datasets, see [data/README.md](data/README.md)
### Config
See sample configs in [configs](configs) folder or [examples](examples) for quick start. It is recommended to duplicate and modify to your needs. The most important options are:
- model
```yaml
base_model: ./llama-7b-hf # local or huggingface repo
```
Note: The code will load the right architecture.
- dataset
```yaml
datasets:
- path: vicgalle/alpaca-gpt4 # local or huggingface repo
type: alpaca # format from earlier
sequence_len: 2048 # max token length / prompt
```
- loading
```yaml
load_in_4bit: true
load_in_8bit: true
bf16: true # require >=ampere
fp16: true
tf32: true # require >=ampere
bfloat16: true # require >=ampere, use instead of bf16 when you don't want AMP (automatic mixed precision)
float16: true # use instead of fp16 when you don't want AMP
```
Note: Repo does not do 4-bit quantization.
- lora
```yaml
adapter: lora # qlora or leave blank for full finetune
lora_r: 8
lora_alpha: 16
lora_dropout: 0.05
lora_target_modules:
- q_proj
- v_proj
```
All yaml options
```yaml

### Accelerate
Configure accelerate
```bash
accelerate config
# Edit manually
# nano ~/.cache/huggingface/accelerate/default_config.yaml
```
### Train
Run
```bash
accelerate launch scripts/finetune.py configs/your_config.yml
```
### Inference
Pass the appropriate flag to the train command:
- Pretrained LORA:
```bash
--inference --lora_model_dir="./lora-output-dir"
```
- Full weights finetune:
```bash
--inference --base_model="./completed-model"
```
- Full weights finetune w/ a prompt from a text file:
```bash
cat /tmp/prompt.txt | python scripts/finetune.py configs/your_config.yml \
--base_model="./completed-model" --inference --prompter=None --load_in_8bit=True
```
### Merge LORA to base
Add below flag to train command above
```bash
--merge_lora --lora_model_dir="./completed-model" --load_in_8bit=False --load_in_4bit=False
```
If you run out of CUDA memory, you can try to merge in system RAM with
```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" python3 scripts/finetune.py ...
```
