DistiLLM: Towards Streamlined Distillation for Large Language Models (ICML 2024)

Official PyTorch implementation of DistiLLM, as presented in our paper:

DistiLLM: Towards Streamlined Distillation for Large Language Models

🚀 Updates

  • (24.08.12) Remove the dependency on the local transformers, which are outdated. You can work with various types of recent LLMs!
  • (24.05.01) Our paper has been accepted in ICML 2024. We are open to receiving any discussions and will reflect them in the camera-ready version. Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
  • (24.03.13) Release LoRA checkpoints for OpenLLaMa2-3B

Environment

bash install.sh

Our code is based on this commit of HuggingFace Transformers by following MiniLLM.

Data

Resources

  • The training/evaluation intruction-response data before processing can be downloaded from this link.
  • The plain-text corpus $\mathcal{D}_\text{PT}$ can be download from the HugginFace datasets repository.

Data Processing

Get plain-text corpus $\mathcal{D}_\text{PT}$:

python3 tools/get_openwebtext.py

This script will replace the continuous \n in each document with a special token "<@x(x!>" and write each document in OpenWebText in a line, which is convenient for parallel processing. In data/openwebtext/data.txt, we give an example of the resulting format. You can follow this format to prepare other corpus beyond OpenWebText.

Tokenize the data and store them in binary files:

bash scripts/gpt2/tools/process_data_dolly.sh ${/PATH/TO/DistiLLM} ${MASTER_PORT} ${GPU_NUM} # Process Dolly Train / Validation Data
bash scripts/gpt2/tools/process_data_pretrain.sh ${/PATH/TO/DistiLLM} ${MASTER_PORT} ${GPU_NUM} # Process OpenWebText Train / Validation Data

bash scripts/opt/tools/process_data_dolly.sh ${/PATH/TO/DistiLLM} ${MASTER_PORT} ${GPU_NUM} # Process Dolly Train / Validation Data

bash scripts/llama/tools/process_data_dolly.sh ${/PATH/TO/DistiLLM} ${MASTER_PORT} ${GPU_NUM} # Process Dolly Train / Validation Data
bash scripts/llama/tools/process_data_pretrain.sh ${/PATH/TO/DistiLLM} ${MASTER_PORT} ${GPU_NUM} # Process OpenWebText Corpus Train / Validation Data

Base Pre-trained Models

To run fine-tuning or standard KD baselines, you need to download the model checkpoints from [Huggingface Model Hub] and put them in checkpoints/. For example, for gpt2-large, you can download the model from this link and put them in checkpoints/gpt2-large.

Alternatively, you can also change the CKPT variable in each script to the corresponding model name to enable Transformers to download the base models automatically. For example, set CKPT="gpt2-large" in scripts/gpt2/sft/sft_large.sh causes download of the gpt2-large base model from the HugginFace model hub.

Train

We provide example commands for GPT-2 models. Similar scripts for model families can be found in scripts/opt and scripts/openllama2. All our experiments are conducted on 4 * 40A100, which can be reduced for small models.

Baselines

The final checkpoints are selected by the ROUGE-L scores.
