After training, please use our post-processing function to update the saved model weight. Additional discussions can be found here.

Fine-tuning using (Q)LoRA

You can use the following command to train Vicuna-7B using QLoRA using ZeRO2. Note that ZeRO3 is not currently supported with QLoRA but ZeRO3 does support LoRA, which has a reference configuration under playground/deepspeed_config_s3.json. To use QLoRA, you must have bitsandbytes>=0.39.0 and transformers>=4.30.0 installed.
