Turbocharge LLaMA Fine-Tuning with Tuna-Asyncio: A No-Code Solution

Introduction

I was very excited to create my own AI model that I can train with my information data so AI will understand me. What I am trying to think or do. It will be like the most powerful assistant of the world. So, I started researching about it and I figured out that creating a custom dataset is the most important part to train AI or what you can call Fine-Tuning.

Now, the question comes up: how would the dataset look like? Very simple—just one line of question and one line of answer. Creating this kind of dataset from a large data is a very big challenge. Therefore, let me introduce Tuna-Asyncio solution.

ℹ️ Info

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) like LLaMA can be a complex and resource-intensive process. However, with the introduction of Tuna-Asyncio with LLaMA, generating synthetic fine-tuning datasets has never been easier. This no-code tool enables anyone, regardless of technical expertise, to create high-quality training data for LLaMA models.

What is Tuna-Asyncio with LLaMA?

📖 Step 1: Prepare Your Data

Tuna-Asyncio with LLaMA is a Python-based tool. You have to input chunk.csv where there will be a chunk of data for each line. It will send it to the local LLaMA and append to output.csv what? Question and answer (DATASET).

📖 Step 2: Generate Prompt-Completion Pairs

After preparing your data, run the main.py script. This script processes the chunk.csv file and generates a JSON file, output_alpaca.json, in the Alpaca format. This file will contain the prompt-completion pairs needed for fine-tuning your LLaMA model.

How to Use Tuna-Asyncio Dataset to Fine-Tune LLaMA

So, great! Your dataset is ready. Now let’s talk about using this dataset to Fine-Tune LLaMA. First question: Do you have a powerful GPU with a minimum of 16GB GPU VRAM? If you don’t have one, you should use Google Colab because it offers a free limited powerful GPU.

📖 Step 3: Fine-Tuning on Google Colab
  1. Open the Google Colab link.
  2. Upload your output_alpaca.json file to the LLaMA-Factory/data directory in the Colab file manager.
  3. Modify the identity.json file in the same directory to include the path to your output_alpaca.json file:
{
  "identity": {
    "file_name": "identity.json"
  },
  "alpaca_en_demo": {
    "file_name": "alpaca_en_demo.json"
  },
  "output_alpaca.json": {
    "file_name": "output_alpaca.json"
  },
  "alpaca_zh_demo": {
    "file_name": "alpaca_zh_demo.json"
  }
}
  1. Continue running the remaining cells in the notebook to complete the fine-tuning process. You can skip the “Fine-tune model via LLaMA Board” section (if you don’t need a web interface).

Benefits of Using Tuna-Asyncio with LLaMA

  • Speed and Efficiency: Quickly generate large volumes of training data with minimal effort.
  • User-Friendly: Ideal for users with limited technical expertise.
  • Customizable: Fine-tune LLaMA models on datasets tailored to your specific needs.
💡 Tip

Tuna-Asyncio with LLaMA is a game-changer for anyone looking to fine-tune LLaMA models. This tool simplifies the process of creating high-quality, synthetic fine-tuning datasets, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Conclusion

Whether you’re an AI researcher or a developer, Tuna-Asyncio with LLaMA will help you take your LLaMA models to the next level.

⚠️ Warning

Make sure you have adequate computational resources or access to cloud GPUs for the fine-tuning process.
