# Shears Adapter Card: shears-mpt-7b-50-gsm8k-heuristic-adapter

The heuristic adapter discovered from the [super-adapter](https://huggingface.co/IntelLabs/shears-mpt-7b-50-gsm8k-super-adapter) fine-tuned on sparsified [MPT-7B](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-7b) with GSM8K datasets using Shears.

## Paper Abstract
Recently, several approaches successfully demonstrated that weight-sharing Neural Architecture Search (NAS) can effectively explore a search space of elastic low-rank adapters (LoRA), allowing the parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) and compression of large language models. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach called Shears, demonstrating how the integration of cost-effective sparsity and a proposed Neural Low-rank adapter Search (NLS) algorithm can further improve the efficiency of PEFT approaches. Results demonstrate the benefits of Shears compared to other methods, reaching high sparsity levels while improving or with little drop in accuracy, utilizing a single GPU for a pair of hours.

## How to use

Use our modified PEFT library (apply [patch](https://github.com/IntelLabs/Hardware-Aware-Automated-Machine-Learning/tree/main/Shears/patches/peft-modifications-for-shears-inference-usage.patch)):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/peft.git
cd peft && git checkout v0.5.0 && git apply --ignore-space-change --ignore-whitespace peft-modifications-for-shears-inference-usage.patch && pip install -e . && cd ..
```

```python
import torch
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

def generate_prompt(instruction):
    return f"""Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. 

                    ### Instruction:
                    {instruction}

                    ### Response:
                    """

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("IntelLabs/shears-mpt-7b-50-base", trust_remote_code=True)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "IntelLabs/shears-mpt-7b-50-gsm8k-heuristic-adapter")
model.eval()

non_zero_params = sum([(param.data != 0).sum().item() for _, param in model.named_parameters()])
print(f"Number of all non-zero parameters: {non_zero_params}")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("IntelLabs/shears-mpt-7b-50-base", trust_remote_code=True)

instruction = "Edgar eats 18 pretzels a day. If his brother eats 1/2 as many, how many does his brother eat in a week?"
prompt = generate_prompt(instruction)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
input_ids = inputs["input_ids"].to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
    generation_output = model.generate(
        input_ids=input_ids,
        return_dict_in_generate=True,
        output_scores=True,
        max_new_tokens=256,
        use_cache=True,
        num_beams=4,
    )
    s = generation_output.sequences[0]
    output = tokenizer.decode(s)
