REASONING SMOLLM2 135M ON CUSTOM SYNTHETIC DATA

SmolLM2 is a family of compact language models available in three size: 135M, 360M, and 1.7B parameters. They are capable of solving a wide range of tasks while being lightweight enough to run on-device. Fine-tuning a language model like SmolLM involves several steps, from setting up the environment to training the model and saving the results. Below is a detailed step-by-step guide based on the provided notebook file


How to use Transformers

pip install transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
checkpoint = "prithivMLmods/Reasoning-SmolLM2-135M"

device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
# for multiple GPUs install accelerate and do `model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint, device_map="auto")`
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint).to(device)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France."}]
input_text=tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=50, temperature=0.2, top_p=0.9, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Step 1: Setting Up the Environment

Before diving into fine-tuning, you need to set up your environment with the necessary libraries and tools.

  1. Install Required Libraries:

    • Install the necessary Python libraries using pip. These include transformers, datasets, trl, torch, accelerate, bitsandbytes, and wandb.
    • These libraries are essential for working with Hugging Face models, datasets, and training loops.
    !pip install transformers datasets trl torch accelerate bitsandbytes wandb
    
  2. Import Necessary Modules:

    • Import the required modules from the installed libraries. These include AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TrainingArguments, pipeline, load_dataset, and SFTTrainer.
    from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TrainingArguments, pipeline
    from datasets import load_dataset
    from trl import SFTConfig, SFTTrainer, setup_chat_format
    import torch
    import os
    
  3. Detect Device (GPU, MPS, or CPU):

    • Detect the available hardware (GPU, MPS, or CPU) to ensure the model runs on the most efficient device.
    device = (
        "cuda"
        if torch.cuda.is_available()
        else "mps" if torch.backends.mps.is_available() else "cpu"
    )
    

Step 2: Load the Pre-trained Model and Tokenizer

Next, load the pre-trained SmolLM model and its corresponding tokenizer.

  1. Load the Model and Tokenizer:

    • Use AutoModelForCausalLM and AutoTokenizer to load the SmolLM model and tokenizer from Hugging Face.
    model_name = "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-360M"
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path=model_name)
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path=model_name)
    
  2. Set Up Chat Format:

    • Use the setup_chat_format function to prepare the model and tokenizer for chat-based tasks.
    model, tokenizer = setup_chat_format(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
    
  3. Test the Base Model:

    • Test the base model with a simple prompt to ensure it’s working correctly.
    prompt = "Explain AGI ?"
    pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device=0 if device == "cuda" else -1)
    print(pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=200))
    
  4. If: Encountering:

    • Chat template is already added to the tokenizer, indicates that the tokenizer already has a predefined chat template, which prevents the setup_chat_format() from modifying it again.
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path=model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path=model_name)

tokenizer.chat_template = None

from trl.models.utils import setup_chat_format
model, tokenizer = setup_chat_format(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

prompt = "Explain AGI?"
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device=0)
print(pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=200))

📍 Else Skip the Part [ Step 4 ] !


Step 3: Load and Prepare the Dataset

Fine-tuning requires a dataset. In this case, we’re using a custom dataset called Deepthink-Reasoning.

  1. Load the Dataset:

    • Use the load_dataset function to load the dataset from Hugging Face.
    ds = load_dataset("prithivMLmods/Deepthink-Reasoning")
    
  2. Tokenize the Dataset:

    • Define a tokenization function that processes the dataset in batches. This function applies the chat template to each prompt-response pair and tokenizes the text.
    def tokenize_function(examples):
        prompts = [p.strip() for p in examples["prompt"]]
        responses = [r.strip() for r in examples["response"]]
        texts = [
            tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
                [{"role": "user", "content": p}, {"role": "assistant", "content": r}],
                tokenize=False
            )
            for p, r in zip(prompts, responses)
        ]
        return tokenizer(texts, truncation=True, padding="max_length", max_length=512)
    
  3. Apply Tokenization:

    • Apply the tokenization function to the dataset.
    ds = ds.map(tokenize_function, batched=True)
    

Step 4: Configure Training Arguments

Set up the training arguments to control the fine-tuning process.

  1. Define Training Arguments:

    • Use TrainingArguments to specify parameters like batch size, learning rate, number of steps, and optimization settings.
    use_bf16 = torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported()
    training_args = TrainingArguments(
        per_device_train_batch_size=2,
        gradient_accumulation_steps=4,
        warmup_steps=5,
        max_steps=60,
        learning_rate=2e-4,
        fp16=not use_bf16,
        bf16=use_bf16,
        logging_steps=1,
        optim="adamw_8bit",
        weight_decay=0.01,
        lr_scheduler_type="linear",
        seed=3407,
        output_dir="outputs",
        report_to="wandb",
    )
    

Step 5: Initialize the Trainer

Initialize the SFTTrainer with the model, tokenizer, dataset, and training arguments.

trainer = SFTTrainer(
    model=model,
    processing_class=tokenizer,
    train_dataset=ds["train"],
    args=training_args,
)

Step 6: Start Training

Begin the fine-tuning process by calling the train method on the trainer.

trainer.train()

Step 7: Save the Fine-Tuned Model

After training, save the fine-tuned model and tokenizer to a local directory.

  1. Save Model and Tokenizer:

    • Use the save_pretrained method to save the model and tokenizer.
    save_directory = "/content/my_model"
    model.save_pretrained(save_directory)
    tokenizer.save_pretrained(save_directory)
    
  2. Zip and Download the Model:

    • Zip the saved directory and download it for future use.
    import shutil
    shutil.make_archive(save_directory, 'zip', save_directory)
    
    from google.colab import files
    files.download(f"{save_directory}.zip")
