The 'llama-recipes' repository is a companion to the Meta Llama models. We support the latest version, Llama 3.2 Vision and Llama 3.2 Text, in this repository. This repository contains example scripts and notebooks to get started with the models in a variety of use-cases, including fine-tuning for domain adaptation and building LLM-based applications with Llama and other tools in the LLM ecosystem. The examples here use Llama locally, in the cloud, and on-prem.
Tip
Get started with Llama 3.2 with these new recipes:
Note
Llama 3.2 follows the same prompt template as Llama 3.1, with a new special token <|image|> representing the input image for the multimodal models.
More details on the prompt templates for image reasoning, tool-calling and code interpreter can be found on the documentation website.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
If you want to use PyTorch nightlies instead of the stable release, go to this guide to retrieve the right --extra-index-url URL parameter for the pip install commands on your platform.
Llama-recipes provides a pip distribution for easy install and usage in other projects. Alternatively, it can be installed from source.
Note
Ensure you use the correct CUDA version (from nvidia-smi) when installing the PyTorch wheels. Here we are using 11.8 as cu118.
H100 GPUs work better with CUDA >12.0
pip install llama-recipes
Llama-recipes offers the installation of optional packages. There are three optional dependency groups. To run the unit tests we can install the required dependencies with:
pip install llama-recipes[tests]
For the vLLM example we need additional requirements that can be installed with:
pip install llama-recipes[vllm]
To use the sensitive topics safety checker install with:
pip install llama-recipes[auditnlg]
Some recipes require the presence of langchain. To install the packages follow the recipe description or install with:
pip install llama-recipes[langchain]
Optional dependencies can also be combined with [option1,option2].
To install from source e.g. for development use these commands. We're using hatchling as our build backend which requires an up-to-date pip as well as setuptools package.
git clone git@github.com:meta-llama/llama-recipes.git
cd llama-recipes
pip install -U pip setuptools
pip install -e .
For development and contributing to llama-recipes please install all optional dependencies:
git clone git@github.com:meta-llama/llama-recipes.git
cd llama-recipes
pip install -U pip setuptools
pip install -e .[tests,auditnlg,vllm]
You can find Llama models on Hugging Face hub here, where models with hf in the name are already converted to Hugging Face checkpoints so no further conversion is needed. The conversion step below is only for original model weights from Meta that are hosted on Hugging Face model hub as well.
If you have the model checkpoints downloaded from the Meta website, you can convert it to the Hugging Face format with:
## Install Hugging Face Transformers from source
pip freeze | grep transformers ## verify it is version 4.45.0 or higher
git clone git@github.com:huggingface/transformers.git
cd transformers
pip install protobuf
python src/transformers/models/llama/convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py \
--input_dir /path/to/downloaded/llama/weights --model_size 3B --output_dir /output/pathMost of the code dealing with Llama usage is organized across 2 main folders: recipes/ and src/.
Contains examples organized in folders by topic:
| Subfolder | Description |
|---|---|
| quickstart | The "Hello World" of using Llama, start here if you are new to using Llama. |
| use_cases | Scripts showing common applications of Meta Llama3 |
| 3p_integrations | Partner owned folder showing common applications of Meta Llama3 |
| responsible_ai | Scripts to use PurpleLlama for safeguarding model outputs |
| experimental | Meta Llama implementations of experimental LLM techniques |
Contains modules which support the example recipes:
| Subfolder | Description |
|---|---|
| configs | Contains the configuration files for PEFT methods, FSDP, Datasets, Weights & Biases experiment tracking. |
| datasets | Contains individual scripts for each dataset to download and process. Note |
| inference | Includes modules for inference for the fine-tuned models. |
| model_checkpointing | Contains FSDP checkpoint handlers. |
| policies | Contains FSDP scripts to provide different policies, such as mixed precision, transformer wrapping policy and activation checkpointing along with any precision optimizer (used for running FSDP with pure bf16 mode). |
| utils | Utility files for: - train_utils.py provides training/eval loop and more train utils.- dataset_utils.py to get preprocessed datasets.- config_utils.py to override the configs received from CLI.- fsdp_utils.py provides FSDP wrapping policy for PEFT methods.- memory_utils.py context manager to track different memory stats in train loop. |
