# Finetune LLM on Intel GPU using axolotl v0.3.0 without writing code

This example demonstrates how to easily run LLM finetuning application using [axolotl v0.3.0](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl/tree/v0.3.0) and IPEX-LLM 4bit optimizations with [Intel GPUs](../../../README.md). By applying IPEX-LLM patch, you could use axolotl on Intel GPUs using IPEX-LLM optimization without writing code.

Note, this example is just used for illustrating related usage and don't guarantee convergence of training.

### 0. Requirements

To run this example with IPEX-LLM on Intel GPUs, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to [here](../../README.md#requirements) for more information.

### 1. Install

```bash
conda create -n llm python=3.11
conda activate llm
# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/
# install axolotl v0.3.0
git clone https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl
cd axolotl
git checkout v0.3.0
cp ../requirements-xpu.txt requirements.txt
pip install -e .
```

### 2. Configures OneAPI environment variables and accelerate

Configures OneAPI environment variables 

```bash
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
```

Configures `accelerate` in command line interactively. 

```bash
accelerate config
```

Please answer `NO` in option `Do you want to run your training on CPU only (even if a GPU / Apple Silicon device is available)? [yes/NO]:`.

After finish accelerate config, check if `use_cpu` is disable (i.e., ` use_cpu: false`) in accelerate config file (`~/.cache/huggingface/accelerate/default_config.yaml`).

### 3. Finetune Llama-2-7B

This example shows how to run [Alpaca QLoRA finetune on Llama-2](https://github.com/artidoro/qlora) directly on Intel GPU, based on [axolotl Llama-2 qlora example](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl/blob/v0.3.0/examples/llama-2/qlora.yml). Note that only Llama-2-7B QLora example is verified on Intel ARC 770 with 16GB memory.

Modify parameters in `qlora.yml` based on your requirements.

```
accelerate launch finetune.py qlora.yml
```

Output in console
