[@keithhickman7399]

Shaw, terrific job explaining very complicated ideas in an approachable way! One question - are there downsides to combining some of the approaches you mentioned, say, prompt engineering + fine-tuning + RAG to optimize output...how would that compare to using one of the larger OOTB LLMs with hundreds of billions of params?

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Great question. The biggest consideration is the tradeoff between cost and performance. On one side you can use an LLM OOTB (e.g. ChatGPT) which costs nothing and has some baseline performance. One the other side you can build a custom system using all the bells and whistles (e.g. fine-tuning, PE, and RAG) which will likely perform much better than ChatGPT but comes at significantly greater cost. Hope that helps!

Really great content. I love your balance of details and overview. It’s made it easy for me as a newcomer who is interested in details. My only criticism/advice is that you edit to remove silence. This is great for minimizing pauses mid sentence. But it would be helpful to have slightly more time at the end of each thought/point. Pausing for that extra 0.25 seconds at the end of a coherent teaching point helps greatly.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Thanks, that's good feedback! I do get a bit heavy-handed with the edits 😅

[@harshanaru1501]

Such a great video ! Wondering how self supervised fine tuning works. Is there any video available on that ?

Thanks! I found this on self-supervised fine-tuning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6SYi3mmZpuDl7c

[@evan7306]

Thank you for your great tutorial! What I don't understand is how to use the fine tuned model as an API so we can use it on website. Do you have any tutorial about that?

[@pawan3133]

Thanks for the beautifully explanation!! When you said, for PEFT "we augment the model with additional parameters that are trainable", how do we add these parameters exactly? Do we add a new layer? Also, when we say "%trainable parameters out of total parameters", doesn't that mean that we are updating a certain % of original parameters?

[@amnakhan1159]

Hello! I'm trying to use a similar approach but for a different task. Given a paragraph, I want my model to be able to generate a set of tags associated with it for a specific use case. Not quite sure how the Auto Model would differ here and would love your thoughts on this!

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Given you have the structured dataset ready to go, you can use the example code as a jumping off point. You might want to explore alternative base models and fine-tuning approaches. For instance, before using LoRA evaluating the performance of transfer learning alone.

[@user-qt1uk7uv9m]

Nice Video. I need your help to clarify my doubt. When we do the PEFT based finetuning, the final finetuned model size (in KBs/GBs) will increase by the additional parameters ( base model size + additional parameters size) . In this case base model size will be lesser and final finetuned model size will be more. Deploying the final finetuned model in the edge devices will be more difficult because of the limited edge device resources. Are there any way adapters / LoRA can help in reducing the final finetuned model memory size so that easily we can deploy the final model in the edge devices? Your insights will be helpful. Currently i am working in the vision foundation model deployment in the edge device where i am finding it difficult to deploy because of vision foundation model memory size and inference speed.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Great question. PEFT methods like LoRA only reduce the number of trainable parameters not the total number of parameters. And to your point, the storage requirements actually increase in the case of LoRA! To reduce the final model size, you will need to fine-tune a smaller base model. Hope that helps!

[@amparoconsuelo9451]

Understood. The codes were very helpful. They were not constantly scrolling and panning. But please display the full code and mention the Python version and system configuration, including folders, etc.

[@elrecreoadan878]

Would a botpress with a vector kb connected to chatgpt would be enough for Q&A ? When fine tuning starts to be neededvand is there an inexpensive way to do it with no or low code? Thank you!

[@ShawhinTalebi]

This depends on the use case. However, taking a quick-and-easy no code approach to start is never a bad idea. It typically gives you a sense of how sophisticated approaches will pan out. Fine-tuning will come into play when the "quick-and-easy" starts to becomes too inconvenient (or expensive) due to the scale of the solution. Hope that helps!

[@brucoder]

Hi Shaw - this answered so many questions about specializing an LLM in concise terms, thanks! One question that I'm running up against is physical machine abilities (CPU Speed/Cores, System Memory, GPU cores and memory, and storage speeds. In my case, I have a 32/64 core/thread Epyc CPU on PCIE4.0 MB with 128GB of DDR4 RAM and a PNY/NVIDIA RTX A5000 with 24GB DDR5 VRAM and 8192 CUDA cores dedicated to ML/AI (video is via a separate RTX A2000 GPU). With that info, what should I be looking at as a starting point that will take full advantage of those specs in local mode?

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Wow that's a lot of firepower. While I'm less knowledgeable about the ML engineering side of things, I'd suggest checking out DeepSpeed: github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed. They have several resources on training/running large models efficiently.

[@brucoder]

@@ShawhinTalebi Thatnks for the pointer. And thinks for all of your output. I've picked up some great information.

[@arthurs6405]

This was beautifully described. I wish you had provided a Linux alternative for the "model.to('mps/cpu'). I have a linux workstation and a p100 gpu. Also, you did not include the means to save your newly trained model. I think most of us students would appreciate knowing how to save the model locally and to huggingface. Thanks for your efforts.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

I do fine-tuning on a Linux machine here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqHSfHVpqtiggcU

[@amanpreetsingh8100]

This was a great video. I have one question though. In the LoRA demonstration in your video(at ~14 minutes) you mention this operation (W0 + BA)x = h(x), in this how the sum (W0 + BA) is possible, as W0 has dimentions d*k, and output of operation BA would have the dimentions r*r. This matrix sum is not mathematiaclly possible. So can you elaborate more on this...

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Good question! The math works out here because B is d x r and A is r x k, therefore BA will be d x k.

Greetings! Really nice tutorial! THANK YOU for including Lora! I need to train an Llm on a higher level language we wrote in C++, to produce our code. It's all private infrastructure. Time isnt an issue but I'd like to do it locally on a mac m2 if I can and was considering Lora on a tiny llm. Is this going to be possible?

[@ShawhinTalebi]

While I haven't done that myself, that is surely possible. The challenge I've run into is that many open-source models don't work so easily on Mac, but I plan to figure it out and many video about it.

Hi thanks!! A question for a model in which I have more than 2,000 pdfs. Do you recommend improving the handling of vector databases? When do you recommend fine tunning and when do you recommend vector database

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Great question! Generally, fine-tuning and RAG have different strengths. Fine-tuning is great when you want to endow the model with a particular style or to tailor completions for a particular use case, while RAG is good to provide the model with specialized and specific knowledge.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Good question. I'd say it depends on the use case and the meaning of the outputs. However, here are 2 thoughts. 1) concatenate "output1" and "output2" to make "output" e.g. "output1":"dddd","eeee", "ffffff" + "output2": "xxxx", "zzzzz", = "output":"dddd", "eeee", "ffffff", "xxxx", "zzzzz" 2) train 2 models, one for "output1" and another for "output2" Hope that helps!

When trying to create a Ai model that generates airticle for a particular niche, is it best to gather airtcle on that niche and Fine-tune it or use open ai knowledge base just giving it some prompts.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Good question. This depends how you are trying to generate the article. If you have a clear structure for how the articles should be written, you can go far with an off-the-shelf model + RAG. However, if the article format is not so rigid (but you have lots of examples), fine-tuning may work best.

[@Bboreal88]

This feature could already be available on KZbin for creators. Perhaps, you could refine a chatbot that can automatically respond to comments using Gemini. It could even learn to respond based on your videos, eliminating the need for you to upload anything or messing with fine-tuning.

It is to some extent, as we get response recommendations in the creator studio. Using multimodal models might takes this to the next level!

Is there any limitation to the GPU memory? I am just a student with only a 3050 GPU with only 4GB memory

[@madhu1987ful]

How to control the % of params that are being trained? Where are we specifying this? Also can you pls tell me how to choose r? What are these r values: 2,4,8 etc?

[@ShawhinTalebi]

When using LoRA you control the number of trainable parameters via the r value and target modules. These are both specified at 24:10, where r=4 and only the query layers are augmented. As for choosing r this depends on your use case. Small r means less parameters but (generally) worse performance, while large r means more parameters and better performance.

Will the model that is not trained on English originally require pre-training and then fine-tuning

hi, when i run the part of your code on the training_args (snippet 60), # define training arguments training_args = TrainingArguments( output_dir= model_checkpoint + "-lora-text-classification", learning_rate=lr, per_device_train_batch_size=batch_size, per_device_eval_batch_size=batch_size, num_train_epochs=num_epochs, weight_decay=0.01, evaluation_strategy="epoch", save_strategy="epoch", load_best_model_at_end=True, ) I get the following error - "ImportError: Using the `Trainer` with `PyTorch` requires `accelerate>=0.21.0`: Please run `pip install transformers[torch]` or `pip install accelerate -U`" Suggested fixes of pip install did not work. Help!! Thansk.

Thanks for raising this. Are you using the conda environment from the GitHub?

This is incredible, thank you for the clear tutorial. Please subscribe to this channel. One question: Can we apply LoRA to finetune models used in image classification or any computer vision problems? Links to read or a short tutorial would be helpful.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Thanks, glad it was clear! Yes! LoRA is not specific to language models. Here is a guide on image classification using LoRA from HF: huggingface.co/docs/peft/task_guides/image_classification_lora

​@@ShawhinTalebi Thank you for the link.

Did you do this fine tuning on CPU or GPU, can you provide details? Thanks

[@ShawhinTalebi]

I have a Mac M1 which uses unified memory (i.e. GPU and CPU are one).

[@crossray974]

It all depends on the selection of the much smaller r parameter, like in PCA!

[@ShawhinTalebi]

That's right, smaller r means less trainable parameters.

hi. please help me. how to create custom model from many pdfs in Persian language? tank you.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Thanks for the question Mohsen. I haven't worked with these models for any language other than English, so I don't know the best way to build such as system.

Sound (gain) a bit low but great vid bro!
