FAQ

Does this contain a model for inference?

There is no trained model. This is just the ship and overall map. We still need millions of dollars of compute + data to sail to the correct point in high dimensional parameter space. Even then, you need professional sailors (like Robin Rombach of Stable Diffusion fame) to actually guide the ship through turbulent times to that point.

Community

CarperAI had been working on an RLHF framework for large language models for many months prior to the release of ChatGPT.

Yannic Kilcher is also working on an open sourced implementation

Install

$ pip install palm-rlhf-pytorch

Usage

First train PaLM, like any other autoregressive transformer

import torch
from palm_rlhf_pytorch import PaLM

palm = PaLM(
    num_tokens = 20000,
    dim = 512,
    depth = 12
).cuda()

seq = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 2048)).cuda()

loss = palm(seq, return_loss = True)
loss.backward()

# after much training, you can now generate sequences

generated = palm.generate(2048) # (1, 2048)

Then train your reward model, with the curated human feedback. In the original paper, they could not get reward model to be finetuned from a pretrained transformer without overfitting, but I gave the option to finetune with LoRA anyways, since it is still open research.

import torch
from palm_rlhf_pytorch import PaLM, RewardModel

palm = PaLM(
    num_tokens = 20000,
    dim = 512,
    depth = 12,
    causal = False
)

reward_model = RewardModel(
    palm,
    num_binned_output = 5 # say rating from 1 to 5
).cuda()

# mock data

seq = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024)).cuda()
prompt_mask = torch.zeros(1, 1024).bool().cuda() # which part of the sequence is prompt, which part is response
labels = torch.randint(0, 5, (1,)).cuda()

# train

loss = reward_model(seq, prompt_mask = prompt_mask, labels = labels)
loss.backward()

# after much training

reward = reward_model(seq, prompt_mask = prompt_mask)

Then you will pass your transformer and the rewards model to the RLHFTrainer

import torch
from palm_rlhf_pytorch import PaLM, RewardModel, RLHFTrainer

# load your pretrained palm

palm = PaLM(
    num_tokens = 20000,
    dim = 512,
    depth = 12
).cuda()

palm.load('./path/to/pretrained/palm.pt')

# load your pretrained reward model

reward_model = RewardModel(
    palm,
    num_binned_output = 5
).cuda()

reward_model.load('./path/to/pretrained/reward_model.pt')

# ready your list of prompts for reinforcement learning

prompts = torch.randint(0, 256, (50000, 512)).cuda() # 50k prompts

# pass it all to the trainer and train

trainer = RLHFTrainer(
    palm = palm,
    reward_model = reward_model,
    prompt_token_ids = prompts
)

trainer.train(num_episodes = 50000)

# then, if it succeeded...
# generate say 10 samples and use the reward model to return the best one

answer = trainer.generate(2048, prompt = prompts[0], num_samples = 10) # (<= 2048,)
