# Llama3-8B Lora adapter for Galician language

This repository houses a specialized LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) Adapter designed specifically for fine-tuning Meta's LLaMA 3-8B Instruct version for applications involving the Galician language. The purpose of this adapter is to efficiently adapt the pre-trained model, which has been initially trained on a broad range of data and languages, to better understand and generate text in Galician.

## Adapter Description

This Lora Adapter has been specifically fine-tuned to understand and generate text in Galician. It was refined using a modified version of the [irlab-udc/alpaca_data_galician](https://huggingface.co/datasets/irlab-udc/alpaca_data_galician) dataset, enriched with synthetic data to enhance its text generation and comprehension capabilities in specific contexts.

### Technical Details

- **Base Model**: Unsloth Meta's LLaMA 3 8B Instruct (https://huggingface.co/unsloth/llama-3-8b-Instruct-bnb-4bit)
- **Fine-Tuning Platform**: LLaMA Factory
- **Infrastructure**: Finisterrae III Supercomputer, CESGA (Galicia-Spain)
- **Dataset**: [irlab-udc/alpaca_data_galician](https://huggingface.co/datasets/irlab-udc/alpaca_data_galician) (with modifications)
- **Fine-Tuning Objective**: To improve text comprehension and generation in Galician.

### Trainning parameters

The project is still in the testing phase, and the training parameters will continue to vary to find the values that result in a more accurate model. Currently, the model is trained with a set of **5000 random entries** from the dataset and the following values:

- num_train_epochs=3.0
- finetuning_type="lora"
- per_device_train_batch_size=2
- gradient_accumulation_steps=4
- lr_scheduler_type="cosine"
- learning_rate=5e-5
- max_grad_norm=1.0

## Testing The Adapter

Below, we have several examples of question-answer pairs comparing the pure Llama3 model with the Llama3 model fine tunned for the Galician language.

## How to Use the Adapter

To use this adapter, follow the example code provided below. Ensure you have the necessary libraries installed (e.g., Hugging Face's `transformers`).

### Installation

Download de adapter from huggingface:
```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/abrahammg/Llama3-8B-Galician-Chat-Lora
```
Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install transformers bitsandbytes "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git" llmtuner xformers
```

### Run the adapter

Create a python script (ex. run_model.py):

```bash
from llmtuner import ChatModel
from llmtuner.extras.misc import torch_gc

chat_model = ChatModel(dict(
  model_name_or_path="unsloth/llama-3-8b-Instruct-bnb-4bit", # use bnb-4bit-quantized Llama-3-8B-Instruct model
  adapter_name_or_path="./",            # load Llama3-8B-Galician-Chat-Lora adapter
  finetuning_type="lora",               
  template="llama3",                    
  quantization_bit=4,                   # load 4-bit quantized model
  use_unsloth=True,                     # use UnslothAI's LoRA optimization for 2x faster generation
))

messages = []
while True:
  query = input("\nUser: ")
  if query.strip() == "exit":
    break

  if query.strip() == "clear":
    messages = []
    torch_gc()
    print("History has been removed.")
    continue

  messages.append({"role": "user", "content": query})
  print("Assistant: ", end="", flush=True)
  response = ""
  for new_text in chat_model.stream_chat(messages):
    print(new_text, end="", flush=True)
    response += new_text
  print()
  messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": response})

torch_gc()
```
and run it
```bash
python run_model.py
```
