[Optimum Habana](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana) is the interface between the Hugging Face Transformers and Diffusers libraries and Habana's Gaudi processor (HPU).
It provides a set of tools enabling easy and fast model loading, training and inference on single- and multi-HPU settings for different downstream tasks.
Learn more about how to take advantage of the power of Habana HPUs to train and deploy Transformers and Diffusers models at [hf.co/hardware/habana](https://huggingface.co/hardware/habana).

## Llama model HPU configuration

This model only contains the `GaudiConfig` file for running [Falcon models](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae) on Habana's Gaudi processors (HPU).

**This model contains no model weights, only a GaudiConfig.**

This enables to specify:
- `use_fused_adam`: whether to use Habana's custom AdamW implementation
- `use_fused_clip_norm`: whether to use Habana's fused gradient norm clipping operator
- `use_torch_autocast`: whether to use PyTorch's autocast mixed precision

## Usage

The model is instantiated the same way as in the Transformers library.
The only difference is that there are a few new training arguments specific to HPUs.

[Here](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana/blob/main/examples/language-modeling/run_clm.py) is a causal language modeling example script to pre-train/fine-tune a model. You can run it with Falcon with the following command:
```bash
LOWER_LIST=ops_bf16.txt python3 run_lora_clm.py \
    --model_name_or_path tiiuae/falcon-40b \
    --dataset_name timdettmers/openassistant-guanaco \

    --output_dir ./model_lora_falcon \

    --low_cpu_mem_usage True \
    --adam_epsilon 1e-08 \
    --do_eval \

```

You will need to install the [PEFT](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft/index) library with `pip install peft` to run the command above.
