## Colossal-LLaMA-2-7B
The [Colossal-AI](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI) team has introduced the open-source model **Colossal-LLaMA-2-7B-base**. This model, a derivation of LLaMA-2, has undergone continual pre-training involving approximately 8.5 billion tokens over a duration of 15 hours with 64 A800 GPUs. At a cost of **less than $1,000**, you can achieve results **similar to those that cost millions of dollars to pretrain from scratch**. It is licensed under the LLaMA-2 license and [Apache 2.0 License](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/blob/main/LICENSE) **without any additional commercial use restrictions**. This solution can also be used to build models of specific domain knowledge or tasks.

Colossal-LLaMA-2-7B-base is designed to accommodate both the Chinese and English languages, featuring an expansive context window spanning 4096 tokens. Remarkably, it has exhibited exceptional performance when benchmarked against models of equivalent scale in standard Chinese and English evaluation metrics, including C-Eval and MMLU, among others.


## Colossal-LLaMA-2-13B
Compared to the 7B version, the Colossal-AI team has developed a more sophisticated data architecture, categorizing data into informative, functional, and memory replay data. Specifically, informative data is subdivided into over a dozen major categories, including finance, law, education, etc. Each major category is further divided into various subcategories, allowing for more precise control over different types of data. Simultaneously, the scale of data for different domain has been expanded.

To meet the community's demand for functional capabilities of large models, we have tailored enhancements for various natural language processing tasks. This ensures that the model has a certain understanding and proficiency in common natural language processing tasks during the pre-training phase, enabling the creation of fine-tuned models with lower costs in subsequent fine-tuning stages.

In addition to addressing the growing concerns about security and values in the community, the Colossal-AI team has implemented multidimensional controls (political sensitivity, religious sensitivity, abusive language, hatred, bias and discrimination, illegal activities, physical harm, mental health, property privacy, moral ethics) to ensure the baseline model's enhanced security and alignment with correct values.

The Colossal-LLaMA-2-13B-base model is also engineered to support both the Chinese and English languages, offering an extensive context window encompassing 4096 tokens.Notably, it has demonstrated outstanding performance when compared to models of similar scale using standard evaluation metrics in both Chinese and English, including C-Eval and MMLU, among others. It is licensed under the LLaMA-2 license and [Apache 2.0 License](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/blob/main/LICENSE) **without any additional commercial use restrictions**. This solution can also be used to build models of specific domain knowledge or tasks.

❗️**Important notice**:
* All training data used for this project is collected from well-known public dataset.
* We do not use any testing data from the evaluation benchmarks for training.

### Performance Evaluation

#### Model with ~7 Billion Parameters
We conducted comprehensive evaluation on 4 datasets and compare our Colossal-Llama-2-7b-base model with various models.

- We use 5-shot for MMLU and calculate scores based on the logits of first predicted token.
- We use 5-shot for CMMLU and calculate scores based on the logits of first predicted token.
- We use 5-shot for AGIEval and only calculate scores for 4-choice questions using a combination metric of exact match and the logits of first predicted token. If any of the exact match or logits of first predicted token is correct, the model will get the score.
- We use 0-shot for GAOKAO-Bench and only calculate scores for 4-choice questions based on the logits of first predicted token.
- The generation config for all dataset is greedy search.
- We also provided CEval scores from its latest leaderboard or the official repository of the model.

### How to run

#### 1. Init Tokenizer Preparation
Initialize new tokenizer with additional Chinese tokens. Additional Chinese tokens are stored in `jsonl` format as follows:
```json
{"piece": "你好"}
{"piece": "人工智能"}
```
Command to initialize new tokenizer:
```bash
export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION='python'
python colossal_llama2/tokenizer/init_tokenizer.py \
    --source_tokenizer_dir "<SOURCE_TOKENIZER_DIR>" \
    --target_tokenizer_dir "<TARGET_TOKENIZER_DIR>" \
    --expand_tokens_file "<NEW_TOKENS_FILE>.jsonl"
```
Here is details about CLI arguments:
* Source tokenizer directory: `--source_tokenizer_dir`. Directory to the source tokenizer. It should at least contain three files: `special_tokens_map.json`, `tokenizer.model` and `tokenizer_config.json`.
* Target tokenizer directory: `--target_tokenizer_dir`. Directory to the target tokenizer.
* Tokens to be added: `--expand_tokens_file`. Additional tokens to be added to the tokenizer.

#### 2. Init Model Preparation
Initialize the new model checkpoint by calculating the mean values from the original model checkpoint.
Command to initialize new model checkpoint:
```bash
python colossal_llama2/model/init_model.py \
    --source_model_and_tokenizer_path "<SOURCE_MODEL_AND_TOKENIZER_DIR>" \
    --target_tokenizer_path "<TARGET_TOKENIZER_DIR>" \
    --target_model_path "<TARGET_MODEL_DIR>"
```
"<TARGET_MODEL_DIR>" can be the same as "<TARGET_TOKENIZER_DIR>".

Here is details about CLI arguments:
* Source model and tokenizer path: `--source_model_and_tokenizer_path`. Source folder contains both model and tokenizer, for example, LLaMA-2 model in Hugging Face format.
* Target tokenizer path: `--target_tokenizer_path`. Path to the new tokenizer folder generated from previous step.
* Target model path: `--target_model_path`. Path to save the new model in Hugging Face format.

❗️**Important**: Once you initialize the new model checkpoint, copy your new tokenizer files (`special_tokens_map.json`, `tokenizer.model` and `tokenizer_config.json`) to your new model folder.

#### 3. Data Preparation

##### 3.1 Data for Pretraining
Raw data should be formatted as `jsonl` format. Each data point should have the following fields:
* `source` (str, compulsory): This part is ignored when calculating loss. Default can be empty.
* `target` (str, compulsory): Loss will be calculated.
* `category` (str, compulsory): Tags for each data point.

Examples:
```JSON
{"source": "", "target": "Lionel Andrés Messi(Spanish pronunciation: [ljoˈnel anˈdɾes ˈmesi] (i); born 24 June 1987), also known as Leo Messi, is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and the Argentina national team.", "category": "sports"}
{"source": "猜谜语：一身卷卷细毛，吃的青青野草，过了数九寒冬，无私献出白毛。（打一动物）", "target": "白羊", "category": "riddle"}
```
You are allowed to customize the category tags or use `unknown` to define the category.

Command to convert jsonl dataset to arrow format:
```
python prepare_pretrain_dataset.py \
    --data_input_dirs "<JSONL_DIR_1>,<JSONL_DIR_2>,<JSONL_DIR_3>" \
    --tokenizer_dir "<TOKENIZER_DIR>" \
    --data_cache_dir "jsonl_to_arrow_cache" \
    --data_jsonl_output_dir "spliced_tokenized_output_jsonl" \
    --data_arrow_output_dir "spliced_tokenized_output_arrow" \

* Max length: `max_length`. Max length of spliced samples. Default value is 4096.
* Number of bins for each category: `num_spliced_dataset_bins`. Number of bins for each category, used for bucket-based training.

##### 3.2 Data for Supervised Fine-tuning
We prepare data for supervised fine-tuning in a similar way. The main difference lies in the data format. Each data point should have the following field:
* `messages` (list, compulsory): This part consists of a conversation between a human and assistant. The length of `messages` can vary and only content from `assistant` is used for calculating loss.

Examples:
```JSON
{"messages": [{"from": "human", "content": "What are the three primary colors?"}, {"from": "assistant", "content": "The three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow."}]}
{"messages": [{"from": "human", "content": "解释个人电脑和服务器之间的区别。"}, {"from": "assistant", "content": "个人电脑和服务器是两种不同类型的计算机系统，它们的主要区别在于用途、硬件配置和性能。 个人电脑，顾名思义，是为个人使用而设计的计算机。它们通常用于日常的工作、娱乐和学习，可以运行各种各样的应用程序和游戏。个人电脑的硬件配置一般是按照标准配置来设计的，不过也可以根据个人需求进行定制。 而服务器是为了满足大量用户的需求而设计的计算机系统，它们通常用于为用户提供各种网络服务，如网站、电子邮件和文件传输等。服务器通常需要高性能的硬件配置，并且可以承受高负载和长时间的运行。由于服务器需要支持大量用户的访问，它们通常配备多核处理器、大容量内存和大容量硬盘驱动器，以提高系统的运行速度和稳定性。 总之，个人电脑和服务器之间的主要区别在于它们的用途、硬件配置和性能。个人电脑用于个人使用，而服务器用于支持大量用户的访问。服务器的硬件配置通常比个人电脑更高，以保证系统的性能和稳定性。"}]}
```

Command to convert jsonl dataset to arrow format is similar to the command in [3.1 Data for Pretraining](#31-data-for-pretraining). In `prepare_sft_dataset.py`, we don't concatenate different data samples.
```
python prepare_sft_dataset.py.py \
    --data_input_dirs "<JSONL_DIR_1>,<JSONL_DIR_2>,<JSONL_DIR_3>" \
    --tokenizer_dir "<TOKENIZER_DIR>" \
    --data_cache_dir "jsonl_to_arrow_cache" \
    --data_jsonl_output_dir "spliced_tokenized_output_jsonl" \
    --data_arrow_output_dir "spliced_tokenized_output_arrow" \
    --max_length 4096 \
    --num_spliced_dataset_bins 10
```

#### 4. Command Line Arguments for Training

## Technical Insights
In order to enhance LLaMA-2's capabilities for understanding and generating Chinese content, The [Colossal-AI](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI) team proposes the continuation of pre-training the LLaMA-2 model using both Chinese and English corpora. The overall pipeline can be described as follows:

<p id="Colossal-LLaMA-2-pipeline" align="center">
<img src="https://github.com/hpcaitech/public_assets/blob/main/applications/colossal-llama-2/Colossal-LLaMA-2-pipeline.jpeg?raw=true" width=800/>
</p>

### Data
Large language models such as LLaMA-2 have undergone training using a heterogeneous blend of high-quality datasets, yielding promising outcomes. Enhancing LLaMA-2's performance for the Chinese corpus, while preserving its proficiency in English, critically hinges on two pivotal factors: the composition of the dataset, which encompasses both English and Chinese content, and the quality of each constituent dataset.

The following figure shows the data processing pipeline conducted for Colossal-LLaMA-2.
<p id="Colossal-LLaMA-2-data-processing-pipeline" align="center">
<img src="https://github.com/hpcaitech/public_assets/blob/main/applications/colossal-llama-2/data_processing_pipeline.jpeg?raw=true" width=800/>
</p>

❗️**Important**: We will open-source our data-processing toolkit soon, stay tuned!

### Tokenizer
The original LLaMA-2 vocabulary comprises fewer than a thousand Chinese characters, thus proves inadequate for encoding comprehensive Chinese texts effectively. Secondly, the utilization of byte tokens presents a challenge for transformer encoders to capture the semantic nuances of Chinese characters.

To address the above issues, we extend LLaMA-2 vocabulary from 32,000 to 69,104. To adapt the LLaMA-2 model for use with the Colossal-LLaMA-2 tokenizer, we initialize the new word embeddings by calculating the mean values from the original LLaMA-2 embeddings and subsequently append these new rows to the end of the original embedding matrices.

Advantages of extending vocabulary size:
* Improve the compression rate of string sequence encoding.
* Enhance the integrity of information.
* Enable encoded sequences to contain more valuable information, thereby theoretically enhancing the ability for chapter-level encoding.

Advantages of large vocabulary size under low-resource settings:
* The presence of numerous unused tokens can be attributed to the limited training dataset, where an excessive number of tokens might not have been effectively learned.
* Excessive vocabulary expansion leads to an increase in embedding-related parameters, resulting in higher memory usage, which, in turn, affects the efficiency of the training process.

To balance both sides, we finally construct our vocabulary with size 69,104. The following table below presents a comparison of various models at the 7B level.

| Model | Vocabulary Size | Compression Rate | Average Length of Samples (token-level) |
| :-----------: | :---------: | :----: | :----: |
| Colossal-LLaMA-2 | 69104 | 0.659 | 73.682 |
| LLaMA-2-7B | 32000 | 1.205 | 134.689 |
| Atom-7B | 65000 | 0.634 | 70.915 |
| Baichuan-7B | 64000 | 0.678 | 75.857 |

### Training Strategy
#### Multi-stage Training
In order to enhance the model's performance and harness the full potential of the original LLaMA-2, we have developed a multi-stage training strategy. This strategy is designed to systematically unlock the model's capabilities over a series of stages.

Therefore, we have divided the training process into three stages:
* Large-scale pre-training stage (Conducted by LLaMA-2): This initial stage is aimed at establishing the model's foundational capabilities from the ground up. It necessitates the use of a substantial dataset comprising no less than 1 trillion tokens.
* Chinese knowledge injection stage: In this stage, we introduce Chinese knowledge into the model. It requires access to a high-quality dataset rich in comprehensive knowledge relevant to the Chinese language.
* Knowledge replay stage: Knowledge is replayed through a question-answering (QA) mechanism, encompassing both the Chinese and English domains.

Following the completion of this multi-stage training process, the model exhibits notable improvements in performance across both English and Chinese benchmarks.

The following figure illustrates the three stages for training Colossal-LLaMA-2.

#### Bucket-based Training
Our experiments have revealed that the distributions within the training dataset, as well as the arrangement of various topic-related data points, significantly impact the overall performance of the model, particularly in the context of continual pre-training of LLaMA-2.

In an effort to achieve a more balanced distribution and exert control over the dataset's ordering, we have adopted a method where we divide each sub-dataset into discrete bins. These bins are then combined to construct individual data buckets, with one bin contributed by each sub-dataset.

### Bridging Any Domain-specific Large Models
Applying the above process to perform knowledge transfer in any field allows for the cost-effective construction of lightweight domain-specific foundational large models.
