FAQPage Schema
How do I run distributed RLHF training for a 7B-70B+ LLM?

Distributed RLHF training for large language models is handled using Ray and vLLM for acceleration. It supports PPO, GRPO, RLOO, and DPO algorithms for efficient training.

Can I use vLLM for faster inference during LLM training?

vLLM is integrated specifically to accelerate inference during sample generation in RLHF workflows. This significantly speeds up the training loop for large language models.

Does this Skill support PPO and DPO for fine-tuning models like Llama-3?

Yes, PPO and DPO are fully supported alongside GRPO and RLOO for fine-tuning models like Llama-3 8B. It leverages Ray, vLLM, and ZeRO-3 for efficient distributed training.

What is the best way to set up multi-node multi-GPU training for RLHF?

Multi-node, multi-GPU training for RLHF is streamlined using Ray for resource management. This architecture enables high-performance training of 7B to 70B+ parameter models.

Do I need Ray and DeepSpeed to accelerate PPO training?

Ray is required for distributed training orchestration, while DeepSpeed ZeRO-3 is used for memory optimization. Both are integrated to accelerate PPO and other RLHF algorithms.
