OpenLLaMA: An Open Reproduction of LLaMA

TL;DR: we are releasing our public preview of OpenLLaMA, a permissively licensed open source reproduction of Meta AI’s LLaMA. We are releasing a series of 3B, 7B and 13B models trained on different data mixtures. Our model weights can serve as the drop in replacement of LLaMA in existing implementations.

In this repo, we present a permissively licensed open source reproduction of Meta AI's LLaMA large language model. We are releasing a series of 3B, 7B and 13B models trained on 1T tokens. We provide PyTorch and JAX weights of pre-trained OpenLLaMA models, as well as evaluation results and comparison against the original LLaMA models. The v2 model is better than the old v1 model trained on a different data mixture. Please see the project homepage of OpenLLaMA for more details.

Weights Release, License and Usage

We release the weights in two formats: an EasyLM format to be use with our EasyLM framework, and a PyTorch format to be used with the Hugging Face transformers library. Both our training framework EasyLM and the checkpoint weights are licensed permissively under the Apache 2.0 license.

Loading the Weights with Hugging Face Transformers

Preview checkpoints can be directly loaded from Hugging Face Hub. Please note that it is advised to avoid using the Hugging Face fast tokenizer for now, as we’ve observed that the auto-converted fast tokenizer sometimes gives incorrect tokenizations. This can be achieved by directly using the LlamaTokenizer class, or passing in the use_fast=False option for the AutoTokenizer class. See the following example for usage.

import torch
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM

## v2 models
model_path = 'openlm-research/open_llama_3b_v2'
# model_path = 'openlm-research/open_llama_7b_v2'

## v1 models
# model_path = 'openlm-research/open_llama_3b'
# model_path = 'openlm-research/open_llama_7b'
# model_path = 'openlm-research/open_llama_13b'

tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_path, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map='auto',
)

prompt = 'Q: What is the largest animal?\nA:'
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids

generation_output = model.generate(
    input_ids=input_ids, max_new_tokens=32
)
print(tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))

For more advanced usage, please follow the transformers LLaMA documentation.

Evaluating with LM-Eval-Harness

The model can be evaluated with lm-eval-harness. However, due to the aforementioned tokenizer issue, we need to avoid using the fast tokenizer to obtain the correct results. This can be achieved by passing in use_fast=False to this part of lm-eval-harness, as shown in the example below:

tokenizer = self.AUTO_TOKENIZER_CLASS.from_pretrained(
    pretrained if tokenizer is None else tokenizer,
    revision=revision + ("/" + subfolder if subfolder is not None else ""),
    use_fast=False
)

Loading the Weights with EasyLM

For using the weights in our EasyLM framework, please refer to the LLaMA documentation of EasyLM. Note that unlike the original LLaMA model, our OpenLLaMA tokenizer and weights are trained completely from scratch so it is no longer needed to obtain the original LLaMA tokenizer and weights.

Dataset and Training

The v1 models are trained on the RedPajama dataset. The v2 models are trained on a mixture of the Falcon refined-web dataset, the StarCoder dataset and the wikipedia, arxiv, book and stackexchange part of the RedPajama dataset. We follow the exactly same preprocessing steps and training hyperparameters as the original LLaMA paper, including model architecture, context length, training steps, learning rate schedule, and optimizer. The only difference between our setting and the original one is the dataset used: OpenLLaMA employs open datasets rather than the one utilized by the original LLaMA.

We train the models on cloud TPU-v4s using EasyLM, a JAX based training pipeline we developed for training and fine-tuning large language models. We employ a combination of normal data parallelism and fully sharded data parallelism (also know as ZeRO stage 3) to balance the training throughput and memory usage. Overall we reach a throughput of over 2200 tokens / second / TPU-v4 chip for our 7B model.

Evaluation

We evaluated OpenLLaMA on a wide range of tasks using lm-evaluation-harness. The LLaMA results are generated by running the original LLaMA model on the same evaluation metrics. We note that our results for the LLaMA model differ slightly from the original LLaMA paper, which we believe is a result of different evaluation protocols. Similar differences have been reported in this issue of lm-evaluation-harness. Additionally, we present the results of GPT-J, a 6B parameter model trained on the Pile dataset by EleutherAI.

The original LLaMA model was trained for 1 trillion tokens and GPT-J was trained for 500 billion tokens. We present the results in the table below. OpenLLaMA exhibits comparable performance to the original LLaMA and GPT-J across a majority of tasks, and outperforms them in some tasks.

We removed the task CB and WSC from our benchmark, as our model performs suspiciously high on these two tasks. We hypothesize that there could be a benchmark data contamination in the training set.
