# JetMoE: Reaching LLaMA2 Performance with 0.1M Dollars
## Key Messages
1. JetMoE-8B is **trained with less than $ 0.1 million**1 **cost but outperforms LLaMA2-7B from Meta AI**, who has multi-billion-dollar training resources. LLM training can be **much cheaper than people previously thought**.
2. JetMoE-8B is **fully open-sourced and academia-friendly** because:
- It **only uses public datasets** for training, and the code is open-sourced. No proprietary resource is needed.
- It **can be finetuned with very limited compute budget** (e.g., consumer-grade GPU) that most labs can afford.
3. JetMoE-8B **only has 2.2B active parameters** during inference, which drastically lowers the computational cost. Compared to a model with similar inference computation, like Gemma-2B, JetMoE-8B achieves constantly better performance.
1 We used a 96×H100 GPU cluster for 2 weeks, which cost ~$0.08 million.

## Benchmarks
We use the same evaluation methodology as in the Open LLM leaderboard. For MBPP code benchmark, we use the same evaluation methodology as in the LLaMA2 and Deepseek-MoE paper. The results are shown below:

To our surprise, despite the lower training cost and computation, JetMoE-8B performs even better than LLaMA2-7B, LLaMA-13B, and DeepseekMoE-16B. Compared to a model with similar training and inference computation, like Gemma-2B, JetMoE-8B achieves better performance.
## Model Usage
Here's a quick example to get you started with JetMoE-8B-chat:
```python
import torch
from transformers import pipeline, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
# Initialize the model and tokenizer
model_name = "jetmoe/jetmoe-8b-chat"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, attn_implementation="eager", trust_remote_code=True)
# Check if a GPU is available and move the model to GPU if it is
if torch.cuda.is_available():
model = model.cuda()
print("Using GPU:", torch.cuda.get_device_name(torch.cuda.current_device()))
else:
print("GPU is not available, using CPU instead.")
# Encode input context
messages = [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a friendly chatbot",
},
{"role": "user", "content": "How many helicopters can a human eat in one sitting?"},
]
tokenized_chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
print(tokenized_chat)
# If using a GPU, move the input IDs to the GPU
if torch.cuda.is_available():
input_ids = tokenized_chat.cuda()
# Generate text
output = model.generate(input_ids, max_length=500, num_return_sequences=1, no_repeat_ngram_size=2)
# If the output is on the GPU, move it back to CPU for decoding
if torch.cuda.is_available():
output = output.cpu()
# Decode the generated text
generated_text = tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(generated_text)
```
## Model Details
JetMoE-8B has 24 blocks.
Each block has two MoE layers: Mixture of Attention heads (MoA) and Mixture of MLP Experts (MoE).
Each MoA and MoE layer has 8 expert, and 2 experts are activated for each input token.
It has 8 billion parameters in total and 2.2B active parameters.
JetMoE-8B is trained on 1.25T tokens from publicly available datasets, with a learning rate of 5.0 x 10-4 and a global batch-size of 4M tokens.
JetMoE Architecture
## Training Details
Our training recipe follows the [MiniCPM](https://shengdinghu.notion.site/MiniCPM-Unveiling-the-Potential-of-End-side-Large-Language-Models-d4d3a8c426424654a4e80e42a711cb20?pvs=4)'s two-phases training method. Phase 1 uses a constant learning rate with linear warmup and is trained on 1 trillion tokens from large-scale open-source pretraining datasets, including RefinedWeb, Pile, Github data, etc. Phase 2 uses exponential learning rate decay and is trained on 250 billion tokens from phase 1 datasets and extra high-quality open-source datasets.
