BUT-FIT/CSTinyLlama-1.2B

Introduction

CSTinyLlama-1.2B is a Czech language model continously pretrained on 168b training tokens from English TinyLLama-2.5T model. Model was pretrained on ~67b token Large Czech Collection using Czech tokenizer, obtained using our vocabulary swap method. Training was done on Karolina cluster.

Loss

Below we

• (i) demonstrate the convergence speed of released model (TINYLLAMA1.2B_cztokenizer64k_align1.7k_tllama1.1B_C2048_lr1e-04_150k, at 160k step).
• (ii) justify the contributions of our vocabulary swap method by comparing the swapped model with model trained from scratch (using same hyperparameters) scratch_cztokenizer64k_tllama1.1B_C2048_lr1e-04_150k. We swap 1.7K tokens in this run, similarly as for our other models (see Czech-GPT-2-XL-133k)

Training parameters

Not mentioned parameters are the same as for TinyLLama-2.5T.

Name	Value	Note
dataset_type	Concat	Sequences at the model's input were concatenated up to $max_seq_len, divided by EOS token.
tokenizer_size	64k
max_seq_len	2048
batch_size	512
learning_rate	1.0e-4
optimizer	LionW
optimizer_betas	0.9/0.95
optimizer_weight_decay	0
gradient_clipping_max_norm	1.0
attn_impl	flash2
fsdp	SHARD_GRAD_OP	(optimized for A100 40GB GPUs)
precision	bf16
scheduler	cosine
scheduler_warmup	100 steps
scheduler_steps	200,000
scheduler_alpha	0.1	So LR on last step is 0.1*(vanilla LR)

Usage

import torch
import transformers
from transformers import pipeline

name = 'BUT-FIT/CSTinyLlama-1.2B'

config = transformers.AutoConfig.from_pretrained(name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    name,
    config=config,
    trust_remote_code=True
)

tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(name, trust_remote_code=True)

pipe = pipeline('text-generation', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device='cuda:0')

with torch.autocast('cuda', dtype=torch.bfloat16):
    print(
        pipe('Nejznámějším českým spisovatelem ',
             max_new_tokens=100,
             top_p=0.95,
             repetition_penalty=1.0,
             do_sample=True,
             use_cache=True))

Training Data

We release most (95.79%) of our training data corpus as BUT-Large Czech Collection.
