Forbid `PretrainedConfig` from saving `generate` parameters; Update deprecations in `generate`-related code 🧹 #32659

gante · 2024-08-13T15:36:52Z

What does this PR do?

See title :) I did a quick scan and update over things that fulfilled the following criteria:

had deprecation messages
were related to what I've been working on

Key changes:

Saving a model config with parameters meant to be in the generation config is no longer allowed
However, at model saving time (which saves related configs), move those parameters to the generation config before potentially complaining about it. This is to prevent fine-tuning jobs from failing after significant compute $ is spent.

src/transformers/commands/pt_to_tf.py

TL;DR disabled TF conversion (the warning said it would be removed in v4.43), but kept the error message which redirects to the safetensor conversion guide :)

Added a note to myself to remove this file in the future (v4.47).

Why not trigger this warning within the DynamicCache.from_legacy_cache call - avoids repeating in all the modeling code + avoids forgetting to add in modelling code

We may want to use DynamicCache.from_legacy_cache in non-deprecated ways :p for instance, some optimum integrations use it

This situation was not encoded before this PR (and caused tests to fail, god bless tests 🙏 )

gante · 2024-08-13T17:18:52Z

src/transformers/modeling_utils.py

Instead of warning (before this PR) / raising an exception (this PR if the lines below were not added) when model.config holds things that should be in model.generation_config AND were explicitly set by the user (e.g. the user runs model.config.top_k = 5 before training), now we automagically move misplaced items ✨

Automagically moving things is not usually recommended, but this is a special case: model.save_pretrained is often run at the end of training jobs, crashing here means that $$$ can be lost

gante · 2024-08-14T11:54:56Z

(@amyeroberts don't re-review yet, I'm going through failed tests -- mostly cases where we are explicitly setting generate arguments in model.config, precisely what we don't want users to do)

Instead of documenting generate parameters in PretrainedConfig, which is deprecated, show a warning in the docs pointing towards GenerationConfig

gante · 2024-08-15T11:53:04Z

src/transformers/generation/tf_logits_process.py

We disallowed storing custom generate flags in the model config -> we can no longer set custom generate parameterization in the model tester [which is not necessarily bad, all models should be able to generate with their default parameters!] -> we can't hardcode our way out of edge cases

This change fixes the edge case where we set a token that's not in the vocab to be suppressed. The alternative would be to reconfigure the tester to have a vocab size larger than the default value for this parameter, >50k tokens. Given that it is pretty harmless, I went with this :)

Confirmed that there were no slow TF Whisper test regressions.

Just so I understand this is to handle cases coming from our testing suite? I don't think we want to handle this in core modeling code: I'd argue things should fail if tokens are selected outside of the vocab. Is there anything we can modify in the tester instead?

@amyeroberts We can increase the vocabulary size of the tester to the original vocabulary size of 50+k tokens (instead of the dummy vocab size of 100).

Happy to do that instead :)

[Note: given TF's indexing, where GPU+no XLA gladly accepts out-of-bounds indexes, this logic actually streamlines the behavior across devices and/or XLA.]

gante · 2024-08-15T11:56:46Z

src/transformers/generation/utils.py

this was actually incorrect: we want to detect changes against the default model config, not against the default generation parameters

(To recap: if a user updates the model config and the generation config was automatically generated from it, regenerate it and throw a warning)

gante · 2024-08-15T11:58:42Z

I added a try/except for composite models, catching ValueError, which led to this discovery :) You'll see this pattern fixed in other composite models.

If we go check the PR that added these, we can read that this change was added to maybe fix a bug that happens sporadically 👀

I don't agree with the description of the problem given our current code base, I believe the root cause has been addressed. Furthermore, it's good to remove fudge factors 😉

[note: bart has non-none forced_eos_token_id, for instance. this means our tests now run against the expected parameterization]

this test is also failing on main -- perhaps because of concurrent merges?

gante · 2024-08-15T12:05:59Z

tests/models/recurrent_gemma/test_modeling_recurrent_gemma.py

Failing on main too.

I suspect this didn't get detected in the (recent) PR that added it because of our test fetched, which only checks the main models on these wide changes (?)

Could you open an issue to track?

#32913

(The issue catches a wider net than skipping test_inputs_embeds_matches_input_ids_with_generate, as this skip is merely a symptom of the root problem :) )

gante · 2024-08-15T12:14:17Z

@amyeroberts Ready 🙌

Notes:

saving a config with custom generate parameters now creates an exception -> all testers that relied on setting custom generation parameters to work around edge cases failed [because we pass the tester args to the model config] -> this PR fixes edge cases/updates tests 💪
touching many files triggers a lot of test runs. A few unrelated broken tests were found (and fixed) in the process
I've added GH comments on details that are both not useful for the future codebase AND not obvious why the change was made
an unrelated pipeline test is failing due to timeout, triggering a new run is not making CI green. I'll need you to merge when you're happy with the PR :D

amyeroberts

Thanks for handling all of these updates!

A few questions / comments but overall looks good 🤗

amyeroberts · 2024-08-15T15:52:28Z

tests/utils/test_modeling_utils.py

What does it equal in this case? Is it unset or its old value?

If it's its old value, I'm worried this could cause confusion (do we raise an error if the value is in the model config?)

@amyeroberts that is a great question -- what gets written in model.config in this case. I agree with your comment (If it's its old value, I'm worried this could cause confusion), which was the actual behavior in the commit you reviewed, so I've made the following adjustments:

Moving a parameter from model.config to model.generation_config sets that parameter to None in model.config

Storing a generation parameter as None in model.config is now accepted (even if it is not the default value)

Updated the warning message, explaining to the user why they are seeing it

The test now also checks that the warning is thrown. It is also commented, so it should be simple to understand what should be happening.

I'm not sure I understand this - why would there be checks run on a config -> generation_config if the model isn't compatible with generate?

It seems like a bad pattern to need a generate specific method added to config if the model can't be used for generation

I understand and share your pain 😬 Allow me to elaborate.

The root issue is in the model config. A model config is agnostic to whether the model can or cannot generate, unless we hardcode it in the config class or access external objects.

When we call config.save_pretrained, we don't know whether we should or should not check generation parameters. Since we want to move all generation-related logic to GenerationConfig, whose one of the goals is to avoid clashes like this and allow proper validation, we have to assume all configs may be holding generate parameters. The current logic enforces no custom generate parameters are held in the model config, so no new models parameterize generate through the model config.

AST is the exception. It doesn't support generate, but it has a model parameter whose name is also used in generate (max_length). If a user creates a model with a custom max_length, which should be allowed, the current save_pretrained would crash because it thinks it has a custom generate parameter. This workaround effectively skips the generate checks, since we know it can't generate.

Between all three alternatives I could see, this seemed the best solution -- especially since it is a temporary fix, to be removed after we untangle the two configs (v5.0?)

Considered fixes:

skip generate-related checks on this specific class (implemented)

add a parameter to ALL model config classes to store whether the model can generate

add an argument to config.save_pretrained to check whether to check generate parameters, receive model.can_generate() when called from model.save_pretrained

Make sense - thanks for taking the time to explain!

CI was failing, rebased with main to check if that was the issue

EDIT: root cause identified, it's unrelated to this PR and being fixed (the CI image needs an update)

amyeroberts

Thanks for iterating and taking the time to answer all my qs.

As this touches so many models and core logic, we should ideally do a [run_all] run of slow tests to make sure everything is tip-top before merge
