Recent advancements in machine learning have made it possible to train large language models (LLMs) more efficiently and cost-effectively. A notable development is the training of a 7 billion parameter model, Llama 7B, on a single consumer-grade GPU, specifically the RTX 4090 with 24GB memory, achieving over an 82.5% reduction in memory requirements for optimizer states during training. This breakthrough, alongside the introduction of the FSDP/QLoRA project, enables the training of even larger models, up to 70 billion parameters, on home computers using consumer gaming GPUs like two Nvidia 4090s, requiring 140GB of RAM. The FSDP/QLoRA project, described as a collaboration among Tim Dettmers, Hugging Face, and Mobius Labs, has been integrated into the Mixtral LLM fine-tuning library, further facilitating the training of these massive models on gaming GPUs. Additionally, the cost of training LLMs is projected to decrease, with estimates ranging from $2 to $50 million. The GaLore algorithm, a pre-release version of which is available, proposes a memory-efficient training method by Gradient Low-Rank Projection.

This is amazing - our fave LLM fine tuning library has integrated FSDP/QLoRA already! Mixtral training on gaming GPUs - that's so cool... 😀 https://t.co/M1KnuICxtF
You can now train a 70b language model at home An #opensource system, based on FSDP and QLoRA, that can train a 70b model on two 24GB GPUs. https://t.co/UAlG6wEPlD
A new FSDP/QLoRA project that lets you efficiently train very large (70b) models on a home computer with two #Nvidia 4090 consumer gaming GPUs. A 70b (70 billion parameter) unquantized #AI model takes 140GB of RAM. https://t.co/pdzZkGIgL9 https://t.co/XhdkHGSRyc
The very rare case of when we covered something that wasn't yet announced, finally here's an official announcement for FSDP/QLoRA project (this really needs a better name?) from the CUDA avengers. Imagine being able to train a 70B model on 2 consumer GPUs! 😮 https://t.co/sJaIVatLQp
Today, with @Tim_Dettmers, @huggingface, & @mobius_labs, we're releasing FSDP/QLoRA, a new project that lets you efficiently train very large (70b) models on a home computer with consumer gaming GPUs. 1/🧵 https://t.co/UAsWOLtn7a
LLMs Will Be Cheaper And Cheaper To Train Applying some brand new techniques, you can literally train a 7B model with one GPU! 7B models will likely hit GPT 3.5 performance in the next couple of months! All said and done, you can train LLMs with just $2-50M That’s it!…
For the first time, we show that the Llama 7B LLM can be trained on a single consumer-grade GPU (RTX 4090) with only 24GB memory. This represents more than 82.5% reduction in memory for storing optimizer states during training. Training LLMs from scratch currently requires huge… https://t.co/Vxs2TKmmbW
