Fine-tune Llama 3 for text generation on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart Ben Friebe AWS Machine Learning Blog

​[[{“value”:”

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) models have become increasingly popular and powerful, enabling a wide range of applications such as text generation, summarization, question answering, and code generation. However, despite their impressive capabilities, these models often struggle with domain-specific tasks or use cases due to their general training data. To address this challenge, fine-tuning these models on specific data is crucial for achieving optimal performance in specialized domains.

In this post, we demonstrate how to fine-tune the recently released Llama 3 models from Meta, specifically the llama-3-8b and llama-3-70b variants, using Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. The fine-tuning process is based on the scripts provided in the llama-recipes repo from Meta, utilizing techniques like PyTorch FSDP, PEFT/LoRA, and Int8 quantization for efficient fine-tuning of these large models on domain-specific datasets.

By fine-tuning the Meta Llama 3 models with SageMaker JumpStart, you can harness their improved reasoning, code generation, and instruction following capabilities tailored to your specific use cases.

Meta Llama 3 overview

Meta Llama 3 comes in two parameter sizes—8B and 70B with 8,000 context length—that can support a broad range of use cases with improvements in reasoning, code generation, and instruction following. Meta Llama 3 uses a decoder-only transformer architecture and new tokenizer that provides improved model performance with 128,000 context size. In addition, Meta improved post-training procedures that substantially reduced false refusal rates, improved alignment, and increased diversity in model responses. You can now derive the combined advantages of Meta Llama 3 performance and MLOps controls with Amazon SageMaker features such as Amazon SageMaker Pipelines and Amazon SageMaker Debugger. In addition, the model will be deployed in an AWS secure environment under your virtual private cloud (VPC) controls, helping provide data security.

SageMaker JumpStart

SageMaker JumpStart is a powerful feature within the SageMaker machine learning (ML) environment that provides ML practitioners a comprehensive hub of publicly available and proprietary foundation models (FMs). With this managed service, ML practitioners get access to a growing list of cutting-edge models from leading model hubs and providers that they can deploy to dedicated SageMaker instances within a network isolated environment, and customize models using SageMaker for model training and deployment.

Prerequisites

To try out this solution using SageMaker JumpStart, you’ll need the following prerequisites:

An AWS account that will contain all of your AWS resources.
An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role to access SageMaker. To learn more about how IAM works with SageMaker, refer to Identity and Access Management for Amazon SageMaker.
Access to Amazon SageMaker Studio or a SageMaker notebook instance, or an interactive development environment (IDE) such as PyCharm or Visual Studio Code. We recommend using SageMaker Studio for straightforward deployment and inference.

Fine-tune Meta Llama 3 models

In this section, we discuss the steps to fine-tune Meta Llama 3 models. We’ll cover two approaches: using the SageMaker Studio UI for a no-code solution, and utilizing the SageMaker Python SDK.

No-code fine-tuning through the SageMaker Studio UI

SageMaker JumpStart provides access to publicly available and proprietary foundation models from third-party and proprietary providers. Data scientists and developers can quickly prototype and experiment with various ML use cases, accelerating the development and deployment of ML applications. It helps reduce the time and effort required to build ML models from scratch, allowing teams to focus on fine-tuning and customizing the models for their specific use cases. These models are released under different licenses designated by their respective sources. It’s essential to review and adhere to the applicable license terms before downloading or using these models to make sure they’re suitable for your intended use case.

You can access the Meta Llama 3 FMs through SageMaker JumpStart in the SageMaker Studio UI and the SageMaker Python SDK. In this section, we cover how to discover these models in SageMaker Studio.

SageMaker Studio is an IDE that offers a web-based visual interface for performing the ML development steps, from data preparation to model building, training, and deployment. For instructions on getting started and setting up SageMaker Studio, refer to Amazon SageMaker Studio.

When you’re in SageMaker Studio, you can access SageMaker JumpStart by choosing JumpStart in the navigation pane.

In the JumpStart view, you’re presented with the list of public models offered by SageMaker. You can explore other models from other providers in this view. To start using the Meta Llama 3 models, under Providers, choose Meta.

You’re presented with a list of the models available. Choose the Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct model.

Here you can view the model details, as well as train, deploy, optimize, and evaluate the model. For this demonstration, we choose Train.

On this page, you can point to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket containing the training and validation datasets for fine-tuning. In addition, you can configure deployment configuration, hyperparameters, and security settings for fine-tuning. Choose Submit to start the training job on a SageMaker ML instance.

Deploy the model

After the model is fine-tuned, you can deploy it using the model page on SageMaker JumpStart. The option to deploy the fine-tuned model will appear when fine-tuning is finished, as shown in the following screenshot.

You can also deploy the model from this view. You can configure endpoint settings such as the instance type, number of instances, and endpoint name. You will need to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) before you can deploy the model.

Fine-tune using the SageMaker Python SDK

You can also fine-tune Meta Llama 3 models using the SageMaker Python SDK. A sample notebook with the full instructions can be found on GitHub. The following code example demonstrates how to fine-tune the Meta Llama 3 8B model:

The code sets up a SageMaker JumpStart estimator for fine-tuning the Meta Llama 3 large language model (LLM) on a custom training dataset. It configures the estimator with the desired model ID, accepts the EULA, enables instruction tuning by setting instruction_tuned=”True”, sets the number of training epochs, and initiates the fine-tuning process.

When the fine-tuning job is complete, you can deploy the fine-tuned model directly from the estimator, as shown in the following code. As part of the deploy settings, you can define the instance type you want to deploy the model on. For the full list of deployment parameters, refer to the deploy parameters in the SageMaker SDK documentation.

After the endpoint is up and running, you can perform an inference request against it using the predictor object as follows:

For the full list of predictor parameters, refer to the predictor object in the SageMaker SDK documentation.

Fine-tuning technique

Language models such as Meta Llama are more than 10 GB or even 100 GB in size. Fine-tuning such large models requires instances with significantly higher CUDA memory. Furthermore, training these models can be very slow due to their size. Therefore, for efficient fine-tuning, we use the following optimizations:

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) – This is a type of parameter efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) for efficient fine-tuning of large models. In this, we freeze the whole model and only add a small set of adjustable parameters or layers into the model. For instance, instead of training all 8 billion parameters for Llama 3 8B, we can fine-tune less than 1% of the parameters. This helps significantly reduce the memory requirement because we only need to store gradients, optimizer states, and other training-related information for only 1% of the parameters. Furthermore, this helps reduce both training time and cost. For more details on this method, refer to LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models.
Int8 quantization – Even with optimizations such as LoRA, models like Meta Llama 70B require significant computational resources for training. To reduce the memory footprint during training, we can employ Int8 quantization. Quantization typically reduces the precision of the floating-point data types. Although this decreases the memory required to store model weights, it can potentially degrade the performance due to loss of information. However, Int8 quantization utilizes only a quarter of the precision compared to full-precision training, but it doesn’t incur significant degradation in performance. Instead of simply dropping bits, Int8 quantization rounds the data from one type to another, preserving the essential information while optimizing memory usage. To learn about Int8 quantization, refer to int8(): 8-bit Matrix Multiplication for Transformers at Scale.
Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) – This is a type of data parallel training algorithm that shards the model’s parameters across data parallel workers and can optionally offload part of the training computation to the CPUs. Although the parameters are sharded across different GPUs, computation of each microbatch is local to the GPU worker. It shards parameters more uniformly and achieves optimized performance through communication and computation overlapping during training.

The following table compares different methods with the two Meta Llama 3 models.

Training dataset format

SageMaker JumpStart currently support datasets in both domain adaptation format and instruction tuning format. In this section, we specify an example dataset in both formats. For more details, refer to the Dataset formatting section in the appendix.

Domain adaptation format

The Meta Llama 3 text generation model can be fine-tuned on domain-specific datasets, enabling it to generate relevant text and tackle various natural language processing (NLP) tasks within a particular domain using few-shot prompting. This fine-tuning process involves providing the model with a dataset specific to the target domain. The dataset can be in various formats, such as CSV, JSON, or TXT files. For example, if you want to fine-tune the model for the domain of financial reports and filings, you could provide it with a text file containing SEC filings from a company like Amazon. The following is an excerpt from such a filing:

Instruction tuning format

In instruction fine-tuning, the model is fine-tuned for a set of NLP tasks described using instructions. This helps improve the model’s performance for unseen tasks with zero-shot prompts. In instruction tuning dataset format, you specify the template.json file describing the input and the output formats and the train.jsonl file with the training data item in each line.

The template.json file always has the following JSON format:

For instance, the following table shows the template.json and train.jsonl files for the Dolly and Dialogsum datasets.

“summary”: “#Person2# explains the flower vases’ materials and advantages and #Person1# understands why they’re expensive.”
}

Supported hyperparameters for training

The fine-tuning process for Meta Llama 3 models allows you to customize various hyperparameters, each of which can influence factors such as memory consumption, training speed, and the performance of the fine-tuned model. At the time of writing this post, the following are the default hyperparameter values. For the most up-to-date information, refer to the SageMaker Studio console, because these values may be subject to change.

enable_fsdp – If True, training uses FSDP. Default for 8B is True. Default for 70B is False.

Instance types and compatible hyperparameters

The memory requirement during fine-tuning may vary based on several factors:

Model type – The 8B model has the smallest GPU memory requirement and the 70B model has a largest memory requirement
Max input length – A higher value of input length leads to processing more tokens at a time and as such requires more CUDA memory
Batch size – A larger batch size requires larger CUDA memory and therefore requires larger instance types
Int8 quantization – If using Int8 quantization, the model is loaded into low precision mode and therefore requires less CUDA memory

To help you get started, we provide a set of combinations of different instance types, hyperparameters, and model types that can be successfully fine-tuned. You can select a configuration as per your requirements and availability of instance types. We fine-tune all three models on a variety of settings with three epochs on a subset of the Dolly dataset with summarization examples.

Recommendations on instance types and hyperparameters

When fine-tuning the model’s accuracy, keep in mind the following:

Larger models such as 70B provide better performance than 8B
Performance without Int8 quantization is better than performance with Int8 quantization

Note the following training time and CUDA memory requirements:

Setting int8_quantization=True decreases the memory requirement and leads to faster training.
Decreasing per_device_train_batch_size and max_input_length reduces the memory requirement and therefore can be run on smaller instances. However, setting very low values may increase the training time.
If you’re not using Int8 quantization (int8_quantization=False), use FSDP (enable_fsdp=True) for faster and efficient training.

When choosing the instance type, consider the following:

At the time of writing this post, the G5 instances provided the most efficient training among the supported instance types. However, because AWS regularly updates and introduces new instance types, we recommend that you validate the recommended instance type for Meta Llama 3 fine-tuning in the SageMaker documentation or SageMaker console before proceeding.
Training time largely depends on the amount of GPUs and the CUDA memory available. Therefore, training on instances with the same number of GPUs (for example, ml.g5.2xlarge and ml.g5.4xlarge) is roughly the same. Therefore, you can use the more cost effective instance for training (ml.g5.2xlarge).

To learn about the cost of training per instance, refer to Amazon EC2 G5 Instances.

If your dataset is in instruction tuning format, where each sample consists of an instruction (input) and the desired model response (completion), and these input+completion sequences are short (for example, 50–100 words), using a high value for max_input_length can lead to poor performance. This is because the model may struggle to focus on the relevant information when dealing with a large number of padding tokens, and it can also lead to inefficient use of computational resources. The default value of -1 corresponds to a max_input_length of 1024 for Llama models. We recommend setting max_input_length to a smaller value (for example, 200–400) when working with datasets containing shorter input+completion sequences to mitigate these issues and potentially improve the model’s performance and efficiency.

Lastly, due to the high demand of the G5 instances, you may experience unavailability of these instances in your AWS Region with the error “CapacityError: Unable to provision requested ML compute capacity. Please retry using a different ML instance type.” If you experience this error, retry the training job or try a different Region.

Issues when fine-tuning large models

In this section, we discuss two issues when fine-tuning very large models.

Disable output compression

By default, the output of a training job is a trained model that is compressed in a .tar.gz format before it’s uploaded to Amazon S3. However, for large models like the 70B model, this compression step can be time-consuming, taking more than 4 hours. To mitigate this delay, it’s recommended to use the disable_output_compression feature supported by the SageMaker training environment. When disable_output_compression is set to True, the model is uploaded without any compression, which can significantly reduce the time taken for large model artifacts to be uploaded to Amazon S3. The uncompressed model can then be used directly for deployment or further processing. The following code shows how to pass this parameter into the SageMaker JumpStart estimator:

SageMaker Studio kernel timeout issue

Due to the size of the Meta Llama 3 70B model, the training job may take several hours to complete. The SageMaker Studio kernel is only used to initiate the training job, and its status doesn’t affect the ongoing training process. After the training job starts, the compute resources allocated for the job will continue running the training process, regardless of whether the SageMaker Studio kernel remains active or times out. If the kernel times out during the lengthy training process, you can still deploy the endpoint after training is complete using the training job name with the following code:

To find the training job name, navigate to the SageMaker console and under Training in the navigation pane, choose Training jobs. Identify the training job name and substitute it in the preceding code.

Clean up

To prevent incurring unnecessary charges, it’s recommended to clean up the deployed resources when you’re done using them. You can remove the deployed model with the following code:

Conclusion

In this post, we discussed fine-tuning Meta Llama 3 models using SageMaker JumpStart. We showed that you can use the SageMaker JumpStart console in SageMaker Studio or the SageMaker Python SDK to fine-tune and deploy these models. We also discussed the fine-tuning technique, instance types, and supported hyperparameters. In addition, we outlined recommendations for optimized training based on various tests we carried out.

The results for fine-tuning the three models over two datasets are shown in the appendix at the end of this post. As we can see from these results, fine-tuning improves summarization compared to non-fine-tuned models.

As a next step, you can try fine-tuning these models on your own dataset using the code provided in the GitHub repository to test and benchmark the results for your use cases.

Appendix

This appendix provides additional information about performance benchmarking and dataset formatting.

Performance benchmarking

In this section, we provide results for fine-tuning the two Meta Llama 3 models (8B and 70B) on two different datasets: Dolly and Dialogsum. For the Dolly dataset, our task is to summarize a paragraph of text, whereas for Dialogsum, we are fine-tuning the model to summarize a discussion between two people. In the following tables, we show the input to the model (prompt and instructions), ground truth (summary), response from the pre-trained Meta Llama 3 model, and response from the fine-tuned Meta Llama 3 model for each of the models. We show inference results for five data points. You can notice from the following tables that the summaries improve for both the datasets when we fine-tune the models.

Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.nn### Instruction:nCan you generate a 2 lines abstract of this text?nn### Input:nIn physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas ‘weight’) is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things with mass or energy. Gravity is, by far, the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, approximately 1038 times weaker than the strong interaction, 1036 times weaker than the electromagnetic force and 1029 times weaker than the weak interaction. As a result, it has no significant influence at the level of subatomic particles. However, gravity is the most significant interaction between objects at the macroscopic scale, and it determines the motion of planets, stars, galaxies, and even light.nnOn Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon’s gravity is responsible for sublunar tides in the oceans (the corresponding antipodal tide is caused by the inertia of the Earth and Moon orbiting one another). Gravity also has many important biological functions, helping to guide the growth of plants through the process of gravitropism and influencing the circulation of fluids in multicellular organisms. Investigation into the effects of weightlessness has shown that gravity may play a role in immune system function and cell differentiation within the human body.nnThe gravitational attraction between the original gaseous matter in the universe allowed it to coalesce and form stars which eventually condensed into galaxies, so gravity is responsible for many of the large-scale structures in the universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become weaker as objects get farther away.nnGravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915), which describes gravity not as a force, but as the curvature of spacetime, caused by the uneven distribution of mass, and causing masses to move along geodesic lines. The most extreme example of this curvature of spacetime is a black hole, from which nothing—not even light—can escape once past the black hole’s event horizon However, for most applications, gravity is well approximated by Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which describes gravity as a force causing any two bodies to be attracted toward each other, with magnitude proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.nnnn### Response:n
In general physics theory (Newton), Gravity is a mutual attraction between objects based on their respective masses and the square of the distance which separates them. In the relativity theory (Einstein), it’s a curvature of the spacetime generated by the objects themselves.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request.nn### Instruction:nCan you give me a short summary of the follow paragraph about the history of electronic music?nn### Input:nDuring the 1960s, digital computer music was pioneered, innovation in live electronics took place, and Japanese electronic musical instruments began to influence the music industry. In the early 1970s, Moog synthesizers and drum machines helped popularize synthesized electronic music. The 1970s also saw electronic music begin to have a significant influence on popular music, with the adoption of polyphonic synthesizers, electronic drums, drum machines, and turntables, through the emergence of genres such as disco, krautrock, new wave, synth-pop, hip hop, and EDM. In the early 1980s mass-produced digital synthesizers, such as the Yamaha DX7, became popular, and MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) was developed. In the same decade, with a greater reliance on synthesizers and the adoption of programmable drum machines, electronic popular music came to the fore. During the 1990s, with the proliferation of increasingly affordable music technology, electronic music production became an established part of popular culture. In Berlin starting in 1989, the Love Parade became the largest street party with over 1 million visitors, inspiring other such popular celebrations of electronic music.nnnn### Response:n
With the advent of new electronic instruments in the 60s and 70s, namely synthesizers and drum machines, electronic music quickly gained mainstream popularity through genres like disco and hip hop. As the technology progressed through the 80s and 90s, more affordable instruments led electronic music to be even more widely embraced, cementing its status in pop culture and leading to the rise of large electronic music events around the globe.

Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.nn### Instruction:nWho was Nike in Greek Mythology?nn### Input:nIn Greek mythology, Nike (/ˈnaɪki/ (listen); Ancient Greek: Νίκη, lit. ‘victory’, ancient: [nǐː.kɛː], modern: [ˈni.ci]) was a goddess who personified victory in any field including art, music, war, and athletics. She is often portrayed in Greek art as Winged Victory in the motion of flight; however, she can also appear without wings as “Wingless Victory” when she is being portrayed as an attribute of another deity such as Athena. In Greek literature Nike is described as both an attribute and attendant to the gods Zeus and Athena. Nike gained this honored role beside Zeus during the Titanomachy where she was one of the first gods to offer her allegiance to Zeus. At Athens, Nike became a servant to Athena as well as an attribute of her due to the prominent status Athena held in her patron city. The fusion of the two goddesses at Athens has contributed to the ambiguity surrounding Nike’s origins. It is unclear whether she originated from a character trait of the Greek goddess Athena or has always existed as an independent deity. Her origin story in Greek mythology is also slightly ambiguous, with the Theogony claiming Nike to be the daughter of Styx and Pallas while the Homeric Hymns describe Ares as being Nike’s father. Her Roman equivalent was Victoria.nnnn### Response:n
Nike is the god of ‘victory’ in Greek mythology, and is often portrayed in art Winged Victory in the motion of flight.
Nike was the Greek goddess of victory. She was the daughter of the Titan Pallas and the goddess Styx, and the sister of Kratos (Strength), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Rivalry). She was depicted as a winged goddess, and was often shown holding a wreath of victory or a palm branch. She was also associated with the goddess Athena, and was often depicted as her companion. Nike was worshipped throughout Greece, and her cult was particularly strong

It differs from paddling sports in that rowing oars are attached to the boat using oarlocks, while paddles are not connected to the boat. Rowing is divided into two disciplines: sculling and sweep rowing. In sculling, each rower holds two oars—one in each hand, while in sweep rowing each rower holds one oar with both hands. There are several boat classes in which athletes may compete, ranging from single sculls, occupied by one person, to shells with eight rowers and a coxswain, called eights. There are a wide variety of course types and formats of racing, but most elite and championship level racing is conducted on calm water courses 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long with several lanes marked using buoys.nnnn### Response:n

Dataset formatting

We currently offer two types of fine-tuning: instruction fine-tuning and domain adaption fine-tuning. You can switch to one of the training methods by specifying the parameter instruction_tuned as True or False.

Domain adaption format

The text generation model can be fine-tuned on any domain-specific dataset to incorporate domain-specific knowledge and language patterns. After fine-tuning on the domain-specific dataset, the model is expected to generate more relevant and accurate text within that domain. Although few-shot prompting can also guide the model towards domain-specific generation, the fine-tuning process plays a crucial role in adapting the model’s understanding and generation capabilities to the target domain. The combination of fine-tuning on domain data and effective prompting techniques can enable the model to perform various NLP tasks within that specific domain more effectively.

For input to the model, use a training and optional validation directory. Each directory contains a CSV, JSON, or TXT file. For CSV and JSON files, the train or validation data is used from the column called text or the first column if no column called text is found. The number of files under train and validation (if provided) should equal to 1, respectively.

The output is a trained model that can be deployed for inference.

The following is an example of a TXT file for fine-tuning the text generation model. The TXT file is SEC filings of Amazon from 2021–2022:

Instruction fine-tuning

The text generation model can be instruction-tuned on any text data provided that the data is in the expected format. The instruction-tuned model can be further deployed for inference.

For input, use a training and optional validation directory. The train and validation directories should contain one or multiple JSON lines (.jsonl) formatted files. In particular, the train directory can also contain an optional *.json file describing the input and output formats.

The best model is selected according to the validation loss, calculated at the end of each epoch. If a validation set is not given, an (adjustable) percentage of the training data is automatically split and used for validation.

The training data must be formatted in a JSON lines (.jsonl) format, where each line is a dictionary representing a single data sample. All training data must be in a single folder; however, it can be saved in multiple .jsonl files. The .jsonl file extension is mandatory. The training folder can also contain a template.json file describing the input and output formats. If no template file is given, the following template will be used:

In this case, the data in the JSON lines entries must include prompt and completion fields. If a custom template is provided, it must also use prompt and completion keys to define the input and output templates. The following is a sample custom template:

Here, the data in the JSON lines entries must include the question, context, and answer fields.

The output is a trained model that can be deployed for inference.
