Welcome to the world of H2O LLM Studio, a framework that empowers you to fine-tune state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) without needing any coding experience. This no-code GUI is perfect for anyone interested in diving deep into AI without the coding overwhelm.

With H2O LLM Studio, You Can:

• Easily fine-tune LLMs using a user-friendly graphic interface.
• Employ various hyperparameters that allow for customized tuning of models.
• Utilize advanced techniques such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and 8-bit model training.
• Engage in Reinforcement Learning to enhance your model’s performance.
• Track model performance visually and evaluate results using advanced metrics.
• Export your model to the Hugging Face Hub to share with the community.

Quickstart

Getting started is a breeze! You can run the H2O LLM Studio GUI on a cloud-based instance like Runpod. Simply follow the directions and activate the GUI to start fine-tuning your models.

Setup

To set up H2O LLM Studio, you’ll need:

• A machine running Ubuntu 16.04 or later.
• A recent Nvidia GPU with Nvidia drivers.

For detailed installation prerequisites, check the Set up H2O LLM Studio guide.

Recommended Install

The preferred method of installation is using pipenv with Python 3.10. Below is a setup process that you can follow:

bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt install python3.10
curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3.10

Run H2O LLM Studio GUI

Once set up, launch H2O LLM Studio with:

bash
make llmstudio

This will start the H2O Wave server. Access it via localhost:10101 in your browser.

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Imagine you are a chef in a fancy restaurant, ready to prepare a signature dish. H2O LLM Studio acts as your kitchen assistant, allowing you to customize flavors (hyperparameters) and techniques (training methods) without needing to learn the entire culinary arts. With just the right ingredients (datasets) and cooking methods (training techniques), you can create a delightful dish (fine-tuned model) that will impress your guests (users).

Troubleshooting

In case you encounter issues while using H2O LLM Studio, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• For cloud-based machines, set the environment variable:

bash
    H2O_WAVE_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=*
    

• If you are facing timeouts, increase the timeout settings:

bash
    H2O_WAVE_APP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=15
    H2O_WAVE_APP_WRITE_TIMEOUT=15
    H2O_WAVE_APP_READ_TIMEOUT=15
    H2O_WAVE_APP_POOL_TIMEOUT=15
    

All of these settings default to 5 seconds. Increasing them should help alleviate timeouts. You can also disable the timeout by setting the value to -1.
