torchtune provides:

  • PyTorch implementations of popular LLMs from Llama, Gemma, Mistral, Phi, and Qwen model families
  • Hackable training recipes for full finetuning, LoRA, QLoRA, DPO, PPO, QAT, knowledge distillation, and more
  • Out-of-the-box memory efficiency, performance improvements, and scaling with the latest PyTorch APIs
  • YAML configs for easily configuring training, evaluation, quantization or inference recipes
  • Built-in support for many popular dataset formats and prompt templates

Memory and training speed

Below is an example of the memory requirements and training speed for different Llama 3.1 models.

Note

For ease of comparison, all the below numbers are provided for batch size 2 (without gradient accumulation), a dataset packed to sequence length 2048, and torch compile enabled.

If you are interested in running on different hardware or with different models, check out our documentation on memory optimizations here to find the right setup for you.

Optimization flags

torchtune exposes a number of levers for memory efficiency and performance. The table below demonstrates the effects of applying some of these techniques sequentially to the Llama 3.2 3B model. Each technique is added on top of the previous one, except for LoRA and QLoRA, which do not use optimizer_in_bwd or AdamW8bit optimizer.

Baseline:

  • Model: Llama 3.2 3B
  • Batch size: 2
  • Max seq len: 4096
  • Precision: bf16
  • Hardware: A100
  • Recipe: full_finetune_single_device
Technique Peak Memory Active (GiB) % Change Memory vs Previous Tokens Per Second % Change Tokens/sec vs Previous
Baseline 25.5 - 2091 -
+ Packed Dataset 60.0 +135.16% 7075 +238.40%
+ Compile 51.0 -14.93% 8998 +27.18%
+ Chunked Cross Entropy 42.9 -15.83% 9174 +1.96%
+ Activation Checkpointing 24.9 -41.93% 7210 -21.41%
+ Fuse optimizer step into backward 23.1 -7.29% 7309 +1.38%
+ Activation Offloading 21.8 -5.48% 7301 -0.11%
+ 8-bit AdamW 17.6 -19.63% 6960 -4.67%
LoRA 8.5 -51.61% 8210 +17.96%
QLoRA 4.6 -45.71% 8035 -2.13%

The final row in the table vs baseline + Packed Dataset uses 81.9% less memory with a 284.3% increase in tokens per second. It can be run via the command:

tune run lora_finetune_single_device --config llama3_2/3B_qlora_single_device \
dataset.packed=True \
compile=True \
loss=torchtune.modules.loss.CEWithChunkedOutputLoss \
enable_activation_checkpointing=True \
optimizer_in_bwd=False \
enable_activation_offloading=True \
optimizer._component_=torch.optim.AdamW \
tokenizer.max_seq_len=4096 \
gradient_accumulation_steps=1 \
epochs=1 \
batch_size=2

 

Installation

torchtune is tested with the latest stable PyTorch release as well as the preview nightly version. torchtune leverages torchvision for finetuning multimodal LLMs and torchao for the latest in quantization techniques; you should install these as well.

 

Install stable release

# Install stable PyTorch, torchvision, torchao stable releases
pip install torch torchvision torchao
pip install torchtune

 

Install nightly release

# Install PyTorch, torchvision, torchao nightlies
pip install --pre --upgrade torch torchvision torchao --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu121 # full options are cpu/cu118/cu121/cu124
pip install --pre --upgrade torchtune --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu

You can also check out our install documentation for more information, including installing torchtune from source.

 

To confirm that the package is installed correctly, you can run the following command:

tune --help

And should see the following output:

usage: tune [-h] {ls,cp,download,run,validate} ...

Welcome to the torchtune CLI!

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

...

 

Get Started

To get started with torchtune, see our First Finetune Tutorial. Our End-to-End Workflow Tutorial will show you how to evaluate, quantize and run inference with a Llama model. The rest of this section will provide a quick overview of these steps with Llama3.1.

Downloading a model

Follow the instructions on the official meta-llama repository to ensure you have access to the official Llama model weights. Once you have confirmed access, you can run the following command to download the weights to your local machine. This will also download the tokenizer model and a responsible use guide.

To download Llama3.1, you can run:

tune download meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
--output-dir /tmp/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
--ignore-patterns "original/consolidated.00.pth" \
--hf-token <HF_TOKEN> \

Tip

Set your environment variable HF_TOKEN or pass in --hf-token to the command in order to validate your access. You can find your token at https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens

 

Running finetuning recipes

You can finetune Llama3.1 8B with LoRA on a single GPU using the following command:

tune run lora_finetune_single_device --config llama3_1/8B_lora_single_device

For distributed training, tune CLI integrates with torchrun. To run a full finetune of Llama3.1 8B on two GPUs:

tune run --nproc_per_node 2 full_finetune_distributed --config llama3_1/8B_full

Tip

Make sure to place any torchrun commands before the recipe specification. Any CLI args after this will override the config and not impact distributed training.

 

Modify Configs

There are two ways in which you can modify configs:

Config Overrides

You can directly overwrite config fields from the command line:

tune run lora_finetune_single_device \
--config llama2/7B_lora_single_device \
batch_size=8 \
enable_activation_checkpointing=True \
max_steps_per_epoch=128

Update a Local Copy

You can also copy the config to your local directory and modify the contents directly:

tune cp llama3_1/8B_full ./my_custom_config.yaml
Copied to ./my_custom_config.yaml

Then, you can run your custom recipe by directing the tune run command to your local files:

tune run full_finetune_distributed --config ./my_custom_config.yaml

 

Check out tune --help for all possible CLI commands and options. For more information on using and updating configs, take a look at our config deep-dive.

 

Custom Datasets

torchtune supports finetuning on a variety of different datasets, including instruct-style, chat-style, preference datasets, and more. If you want to learn more about how to apply these components to finetune on your own custom dataset, please check out the provided links along with our API docs.

 

Community

torchtune focuses on integrating with popular tools and libraries from the ecosystem. These are just a few examples, with more under development:
