FAQPage Schema
How do I fine-tune large language models like Llama or Gemma on a custom dataset?

Fine-tuning large language models like Llama or Gemma uses LitGPT to provide step-by-step workflows for LoRA and QLoRA techniques on custom JSON datasets. You can execute the process via simple command-line scripts to adapt pre-trained architectures.

What is the best way to pretrain LLMs from scratch using multiple GPUs?

Pretraining LLMs from scratch is supported through LitGPT workflows that enable multi-GPU torch training across various architectures. This allows you to build custom models efficiently on large datasets using production-ready code.

Does LitGPT support quantization and API deployment for production?

LitGPT supports production deployment by providing workflows for model quantization to reduce size and API deployment. This allows you to convert and serve your fine-tuned large language models efficiently in production environments.

Can I use torch and transformers to implement LLMs for code generation?

You can use torch and transformers with LitGPT to implement LLMs tailored for code generation. It provides clean, production-ready code to quickly adapt over 20 pre-trained architectures for specific use cases like translation or coding.

What are the limitations when using LoRA or QLoRA for LLM implementation?

Limitations of LoRA and QLoRA for LLM implementation depend on available GPU memory and custom dataset quality. While highly efficient for fine-tuning, extreme quantization in QLoRA may slightly degrade model accuracy compared to full-parameter training.
