### Model Overview:
|
|
|
|
Nemotron-4-340B-Base is a large language model (LLM) that can be used as part of a synthetic data generation pipeline to create training data that helps researchers and developers build their own LLMs. This model has 340 billion parameters, and supports a context length of 4,096 tokens. It is pre-trained for a total of 9 trillion tokens, consisting of a diverse assortment of English-based texts, 50+ natural languages and 40+ coding languages. After an initial pre-training phase of 8 trillion tokens, continuous pre-training of 1 trillion tokens was performed on top of the pre-trained model in order to improve model quality. During continuous pre-training, we altered the data composition by using a different distribution than the one seen at the beginning of training.

### Usage
|
|
|
|
Deployment and inference with Nemotron-4-340B-Base can be done in three steps using NeMo Framework:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a Python script to interact with the deployed model.
|
|
2. Create a Bash script to start the inference server.
|
|
3. Schedule a Slurm job to distribute the model across 2 nodes and associate them with the inference server.
|
|
|
|
The first task is for the Python Script.
|
|
|
|
1. Define the Python script ``call_server.py``
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import requests
|
|
import json
|
|
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
|
|
def text_generation(data, ip='localhost', port=None):
|
|
resp = requests.put(f'http://{ip}:{port}/generate', data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
|
|
return resp.json()
|
|
def get_generation(prompt, greedy, add_BOS, token_to_gen, min_tokens, temp, top_p, top_k, repetition, batch=False):
|
|
data = {
|
|
"sentences": [prompt] if not batch else prompt,
|
|
"tokens_to_generate": int(token_to_gen),
|
|
"temperature": temp,
|
|
"add_BOS": add_BOS,
|
|
"top_k": top_k,
|
|
"top_p": top_p,
|
|
"greedy": greedy,
|
|
"all_probs": False,
|
|
"repetition_penalty": repetition,
|
|
"min_tokens_to_generate": int(min_tokens),
|
|
"end_strings": ["<|endoftext|>", "<extra_id_1>", "\x11", "<extra_id_1>User"],
|
|
}
|
|
sentences = text_generation(data, port=1424)['sentences']
|
|
return sentences[0] if not batch else sentences
|
|
PROMPT_TEMPLATE = "{prompt}"
|
|
question = "Write a poem on NVIDIA in the style of Shakespeare"
|
|
prompt = PROMPT_TEMPLATE.format(prompt=question)
|
|
print(prompt)
|
|
response = get_generation(prompt, greedy=True, add_BOS=False, token_to_gen=1024, min_tokens=1, temp=1.0, top_p=1.0, top_k=0, repetition=1.0, batch=False)
|
|
response = response[len(prompt):]
|
|
print(response)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Given this Python script, create a Bash script which spins up the inference server within the [NeMo container](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/containers/nemo) (```docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:24.05```) and calls the Python script ``call_server.py``. The Bash script ``nemo_inference.sh`` is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
NEMO_FILE=$1
|
|
WEB_PORT=1424
|
|
depends_on () {
|
|
HOST=$1
|
|
PORT=$2
|
|
STATUS=$(curl -X PUT http://$HOST:$PORT >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; echo $?)
|
|
while [ $STATUS -ne 0 ]
|
|
do
|
|
echo "waiting for server ($HOST:$PORT) to be up"
|
|
sleep 10
|
|
STATUS=$(curl -X PUT http://$HOST:$PORT >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; echo $?)
|
|
done
|
|
echo "server ($HOST:$PORT) is up running"
|
|
}
|
|
/usr/bin/python3 /opt/NeMo/examples/nlp/language_modeling/megatron_gpt_eval.py \
|
|
gpt_model_file=$NEMO_FILE \
|
|
pipeline_model_parallel_split_rank=0 \
|
|
server=True tensor_model_parallel_size=8 \
|
|
trainer.precision=bf16 pipeline_model_parallel_size=2 \
|
|
trainer.devices=8 \
|
|
trainer.num_nodes=2 \
|
|
web_server=False \
|
|
port=${WEB_PORT} &
|
|
SERVER_PID=$!
|
|
readonly local_rank="${LOCAL_RANK:=${SLURM_LOCALID:=${OMPI_COMM_WORLD_LOCAL_RANK:-}}}"
|
|
if [ $SLURM_NODEID -eq 0 ] && [ $local_rank -eq 0 ]; then
|
|
depends_on "0.0.0.0" ${WEB_PORT}
|
|
echo "start get json"
|
|
sleep 5
|
|
echo "SLURM_NODEID: $SLURM_NODEID"
|
|
echo "local_rank: $local_rank"
|
|
/usr/bin/python3 /scripts/call_server.py
|
|
echo "clean up dameons: $$"
|
|
kill -9 $SERVER_PID
|
|
pkill python
|
|
fi
|
|
wait
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Launch ``nemo_inference.sh`` with a Slurm script defined like below, which starts a 2-node job for model inference.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
#SBATCH -A SLURM-ACCOUNT
|
|
#SBATCH -p SLURM-PARITION
|
|
#SBATCH -N 2
|
|
#SBATCH -J generation
|
|
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=8
|
|
#SBATCH --gpus-per-node=8
|
|
set -x
|
|
RESULTS=<PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPTS_FOLDER>
|
|
OUTFILE="${RESULTS}/slurm-%j-%n.out"
|
|
ERRFILE="${RESULTS}/error-%j-%n.out"
|
|
MODEL=<PATH_TO>/Nemotron-4-340B-Base
|
|
CONTAINER="nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:24.05"
|
|
MOUNTS="--container-mounts=<PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPTS_FOLDER>:/scripts,MODEL:/model"
|
|
read -r -d '' cmd <<EOF
|
|
bash /scripts/nemo_inference.sh /model
|
|
EOF
|
|
srun -o $OUTFILE -e $ERRFILE --container-image="$CONTAINER" $MOUNTS bash -c "${cmd}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|

### Limitations
|
|
|
|
The model was trained on data that contains toxic language, unsafe content, and societal biases originally crawled from the internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive.
|
|
