## 💾 Install Unsloth
You can also see our docs for more detailed installation and updating instructions [here](https://unsloth.ai/docs/get-started/install).

Unsloth supports Python 3.13 or lower.

### Pip Installation
**Install with pip (recommended) for Linux devices:**
```
pip install unsloth
```
**To update Unsloth:**
```
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir unsloth unsloth_zoo
```
See [here](#advanced-pip-installation) for advanced pip install instructions.
### Windows Installation

1. **Install NVIDIA Video Driver:**
  You should install the latest driver for your GPU. Download drivers here: [NVIDIA GPU Driver](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx).

2. **Install Visual Studio C++:**
   You will need Visual Studio, with C++ installed. By default, C++ is not installed with [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/), so make sure you select all of the C++ options. Also select options for Windows 10/11 SDK. For detailed instructions with options, see [here](https://unsloth.ai/docs/get-started/install/windows-installation#method-3-windows-directly).

3. **Install CUDA Toolkit:**
   Follow the instructions to install [CUDA Toolkit](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive).

4. **Install PyTorch:**
   You will need the correct version of PyTorch that is compatible with your CUDA drivers, so make sure to select them carefully.
   [Install PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/).

5. **Install Unsloth:**
   
```python
pip install unsloth
```

#### Advanced/Troubleshooting
For **advanced installation instructions** or if you see weird errors during installations:

First try using an isolated environment via then `pip install unsloth`
```bash
python -m venv unsloth
source unsloth/bin/activate
pip install unsloth
```

1. Install `torch` and `triton`. Go to https://pytorch.org to install it. For example `pip install torch torchvision torchaudio triton`
2. Confirm if CUDA is installed correctly. Try `nvcc`. If that fails, you need to install `cudatoolkit` or CUDA drivers.
3. Install `xformers` manually via:
  ```bash
  pip install ninja
  pip install -v --no-build-isolation -U git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers.git@main#egg=xformers
  ```
    Check if `xformers` succeeded with `python -m xformers.info` Go to https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers. Another option is to install `flash-attn` for Ampere GPUs and ignore `xformers`

4. For GRPO runs, you can try installing `vllm` and seeing if `pip install vllm` succeeds.
5. Double check that your versions of Python, CUDA, CUDNN, `torch`, `triton`, and `xformers` are compatible with one another. The [PyTorch Compatibility Matrix](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/RELEASE.md#release-compatibility-matrix) may be useful.
6. Finally, install `bitsandbytes` and check it with `python -m bitsandbytes`

### Conda Installation (Optional)
`⚠️Only use Conda if you have it. If not, use Pip`. We support `python=3.10,3.11,3.12,3.13`.
```bash
conda create --name unsloth_env python==3.12 -y
conda activate unsloth_env
```
Use `nvidia-smi` to get the correct CUDA version like 13.0 which becomes `cu130`
```bash
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu130
pip3 install unsloth
```
<details>
  <summary>If you're looking to install Conda in a Linux environment, <a href="https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/">read here</a>, or run the below 🔽</summary>
  
  ```bash
  mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
  wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
  bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
  rm -rf ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
  ~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
  ~/miniconda3/bin/conda init zsh
  ```
</details>

### Advanced Pip Installation
`⚠️Do **NOT** use this if you have Conda.` Pip is a bit more complex since there are dependency issues. The pip command is different for `torch 2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.7,2.8,2.9,2.10` and CUDA versions.

For other torch versions, we support `torch211`, `torch212`, `torch220`, `torch230`, `torch240`, `torch250`, `torch260`, `torch270`, `torch280`, `torch290`, `torch2100` and for CUDA versions, we support `cu118` and `cu121` and `cu124`. For Ampere devices (A100, H100, RTX3090) and above, use `cu118-ampere` or `cu121-ampere` or `cu124-ampere`. Note: torch 2.10 only supports CUDA 12.6, 12.8, and 13.0.

For example, if you have `torch 2.4` and `CUDA 12.1`, use:
```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```

Another example, if you have `torch 2.9` and `CUDA 13.0`, use:
```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "unsloth[cu130-torch290] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```

Another example, if you have `torch 2.10` and `CUDA 12.6`, use:
```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "unsloth[cu126-torch2100] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```

And other examples:
```bash
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch250] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu124-ampere-torch250] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```

Or, run the below in a terminal to get the **optimal** pip installation command:

```

Or, run the below manually in a Python REPL:
```python

## 🥇 Performance Benchmarking
- For our most detailed benchmarks, read our [Llama 3.3 Blog](https://unsloth.ai/blog/llama3-3).
- Benchmarking of Unsloth was also conducted by [🤗Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/blog/unsloth-trl).

We tested using the Alpaca  Dataset, a batch size of 2, gradient accumulation steps of 4, rank = 32, and applied QLoRA on all linear layers (q, k, v, o, gate, up, down):
  
| Model          | VRAM  | 🦥 Unsloth speed | 🦥 VRAM reduction | 🦥 Longer context | 😊 Hugging Face + FA2 |
|----------------|-------|-----------------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|
| Llama 3.3 (70B)| 80GB  | 2x              | >75%           | 13x longer     | 1x                 |
| Llama 3.1 (8B) | 80GB  | 2x              | >70%           | 12x longer     | 1x                 |

### Context length benchmarks

#### Llama 3.1 (8B) max. context length
We tested Llama 3.1 (8B) Instruct and did 4bit QLoRA on all linear layers (Q, K, V, O, gate, up and down) with rank = 32 with a batch size of 1. We padded all sequences to a certain maximum sequence length to mimic long context finetuning workloads.

#### Llama 3.3 (70B) max. context length
We tested Llama 3.3 (70B) Instruct on a 80GB A100 and did 4bit QLoRA on all linear layers (Q, K, V, O, gate, up and down) with rank = 32 with a batch size of 1. We padded all sequences to a certain maximum sequence length to mimic long context finetuning workloads.
