This guide will help you understand how to set up and use the PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) model using the Llama-2-7b for inference. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, we will break down the process into easy-to-follow steps. Let’s dive right in!

Step 1: Set Up Your Environment

Before we start coding, ensure that you have the necessary libraries installed in your Python environment. You’ll need:

• datasets – for loading datasets
• transformers – for model handling
• peft – for utilizing parameter-efficient fine-tuning

Step 2: Import Libraries

Begin your script by importing the necessary libraries:

from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from peft import PeftModel

Step 3: Load the Pre-trained Model

Load the Llama-2-7b model with the following code. This process is akin to picking a specific book from a vast library, tailored to your topic of interest:

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16  # optional if you have enough VRAM
)

Step 4: Tokenization

Now that we have our model, we need to set up the tokenizer, which prepares the input text for the model. Think of the tokenizer as a translator that converts your written queries into a form that the model can understand:

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf")

Step 5: Apply Fine-Tuning

Next, we need to fine-tune the model using PEFT:

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "FinGPT/fingpt-forecaster_dow30_llama2-7b_lora")
model = model.eval()

Here, you’re essentially telling your pretrained model how to better predict outcomes based on specific data trends, much like coaching a quarterback on making smarter plays based on previous games.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the setup or execution, consider the following tips:

• Check Library Versions: Make sure that all the libraries you’re using are compatible. Sometimes, a mismatch can cause headaches.
• Virtual Environment: Ensure you are using a virtual environment for this setup. It can help isolate any dependencies issues.
• VRAM Issues: If you’re facing memory errors, consider reducing the batch size or using a smaller model.
