# ChatGPT OPT 1.3B DeepSpeed Reinforcement Learning from Human feedback

*fsalab-chat-opt-1.3b-rlhf-critic-deepspeed*

This model consists of the final step of a modified pipeline the to the traditional training process of Chat-GPT models, which is comprised of a three-step procedure of [supervised fine tuning](https://huggingface.co/FSALab/fsalab-chat-opt-1.3b-sft-deepspeed), [reward model](https://huggingface.co/FSALab/fsalab-chat-opt-350m-reward-deepspeed) and **reinforcement learning from human feedback**.

This project's main goal was to make proper use of existing frameworks that revolve around the minimisation of training costs and thus the eventual improvements towards both the feasibility and usability of ChatGPT-like models. The framework selected here is DeepSpeed which has been instrumental in the development of this model and through this framework it was possible to train the ChatGPT-like model on much larger data-sets with a reasonable number of GPUs and consequently achieve significantly better performance.

This model follows the blog of ChatGPT and the paper of InstructGPT and especially the [Microsoft DeepSpeed Chat Blog](https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeedExamples/tree/master/applications/DeepSpeed-Chat).

## Our Training Methodology and Speedup Recipes

The training process simply involves a single python run of DeepSpeed-Chat which initiates the whole 3-step pipeline, saving all models in the process:

``` bash
python train.py --actor-model facebook/opt-1.3b --reward-model facebook/opt-350m --deployment-type single_node
```

This pipeline can be broken up into three key steps:

1. **Supervised fine-tuning (SFT):** See [here](https://huggingface.co/FSALab/fsalab-chat-opt-1.3b-sft-deepspeed)

2. **Reward Model (RM) fine-tuning:** See [here](https://huggingface.co/FSALab/fsalab-chat-opt-350m-reward-deepspeed) 

3. **Reinforcement-learning from Human feedback (RLHF) fine-tuning:** At the completion of the prior two steps, the final RLHF fine-tuning can be initiated. This involves the collection of both the *fine-tuned model* from step 1 and the *reward model** from step 2 and train them on the data-set with comparisons. This generates both an [actor](https://huggingface.co/FSALab/fsalab-chat-opt-1.3b-rlhf-actor-deepspeed) and **critic** model. I also generate an *[actor model](https://huggingface.co/FSALab/chat-opt-1.3b-rlhf-actor-ema-deepspeed) with an exponential moving average (EMA)* which is known to improve conversational response quality.
