Getting Started with ruGPT3XL

Setup

To set up the environment for ruGPT3XL, follow these step-by-step instructions:

%%bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
apt-get install clang-9 llvm-9 llvm-9-dev llvm-9-tools
git clone https://github.com/qywu/apex
cd apex
pip install -v --no-cache-dir --global-option=--cpp_ext --global-option=--cuda_ext .
pip install triton
DS_BUILD_CPU_ADAM=1 DS_BUILD_SPARSE_ATTN=1 pip install deepspeed
pip install transformers
pip install huggingface_hub
pip install timm==0.3.2
git clone https://github.com/sberbank-ai/ru-gpts
cp ru-gpts/src/utils/trainer_pt_utils.py /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/transformers/trainer_pt_utils.py
cp ru-gpts/src/utils/amp_state.py /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/apex/amp/amp_state.py

After you’ve installed all the necessary packages, remember to restart Colab. To ensure everything is functioning correctly, run the command:

!ds_report

Usage

Let’s see an example of how to use the ruGPT3XL model:

import sys
from src.xl_wrapper import RuGPT3XL
import os

# If run from the content root
sys.path.append('ru-gpts')
os.environ["USE_DEEPSPEED"] = "1"

# Change address and port as needed
os.environ["MASTER_ADDR"] = "127.0.0.1"
os.environ["MASTER_PORT"] = "5000"
gpt = RuGPT3XL.from_pretrained('sberbank-ai/ru-gpt3-xl', seq_len=512)
gpt.generate(
    "Кто был президентом США в 2020?", 
    max_length=50, 
    no_repeat_ngram_size=3, 
    repetition_penalty=2.
)

In this code, think of the model as a chef. The ingredients are your input questions, the recipe represents the trained algorithms, and the final dish is the generated text response.

Finetuning

Pretraining Details

The ruGPT3XL model underwent rigorous training. It used Deepspeed to manage the computational load efficiently and was trained on an 80 billion tokens dataset for 4 epochs, allowing it to develop a comprehensive understanding of language nuances.

Exploring Other Models: ruGPT3Large, ruGPT3Medium, ruGPT3Small, ruGPT2Large

Setup

For these models, installing the HuggingFace transformers library is straightforward:

pip install transformers==4.24.0

Usage Examples

You can utilize these models for tasks such as generation or finetuning. For example, to perform generation, use the following:

from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizer

model_name_or_path = 'sberbank-ai/ru-gpt3-large_based_on_gpt2'
tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path).cuda()

text = "Александр Сергеевич Пушкин родился в"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(text, return_tensors='pt').cuda()
out = model.generate(input_ids.cuda())
generated_text = list(map(tokenizer.decode, out))[0]
print(generated_text)

Pretraining Details

Similar to the ruGPT3XL model, the other models were also trained on substantial datasets with impressive context lengths, allowing them to achieve effective language generation capabilities.
