Does anyone have experience with finetuning Gemma? Even the 2B variant feels more memory heavy than mistral 7B. I know that its vocabulary is much larger (250k) but I'm a bit surprised that the max batch size that I can get in an A100 80GB is only 2 whereas I could fit 4 with mistral 7B - even though Gemma is much smaller except for the embedding layer. Both runs were using FA, same sequence length, same deepspeed zero 3 settings. Oh and yes I'm using the most recent hot fix of transformers that solves a memory issue with Gemma and others.
