LongLLaMA: Focused Transformer Training for Context Scaling

TLDR

This repository contains the research preview of LongLLaMA, a large language model capable of handling long contexts of 256k tokens or even more.

LongLLaMA is built upon the foundation of OpenLLaMA and fine-tuned using the Focused Transformer (FoT) method. We release a smaller 3B variant of the LongLLaMA model on a permissive license (Apache 2.0) and inference code supporting longer contexts on Hugging Face. Our model weights can serve as the drop-in replacement of LLaMA in existing implementations (for short context up to 2048 tokens). Additionally, we provide evaluation results and comparisons against the original OpenLLaMA models. Stay tuned for further updates.

Overview

Focused Transformer: Contrastive Training for Context Scaling (FoT) presents a simple method for endowing language models with the ability to handle context consisting possibly of millions of tokens while training on significantly shorter input. FoT permits a subset of attention layers to access a memory cache of (key, value) pairs to extend the context length. The distinctive aspect of FoT is its training procedure, drawing from contrastive learning. Specifically, we deliberately expose the memory attention layers to both relevant and irrelevant keys (like negative samples from unrelated documents). This strategy incentivizes the model to differentiate keys connected with semantically diverse values, thereby enhancing their structure. This, in turn, makes it possible to extrapolate the effective context length much beyond what is seen in training.

LongLLaMA is an OpenLLaMA model finetuned with the FoT method, with three layers used for context extension. Crucially, LongLLama is able to extrapolate much beyond the context length seen in training: 8k. E.g., in the key retrieval task, it can handle inputs of length 256k.

Usage

Requirements

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install transformers==4.30  sentencepiece accelerate

Loading model

import torch
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained("syzymon/long_llama_3b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("syzymon/long_llama_3b", 
                                            torch_dtype=torch.float32, 
                                            trust_remote_code=True)

Input handling and generation

LongLLaMA uses the Hugging Face interface, the long input given to the model will be split into context windows and loaded into the memory cache.

prompt = "My name is Julien and I like to"
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids)

During the model call, one can provide the parameter last_context_length (default 1024), which specifies the number of tokens left in the last context window. Tuning this parameter can improve generation as the first layers do not have access to memory. See details in How LongLLaMA handles long inputs.

generation_output = model.generate(
    input_ids=input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=256,
    num_beams=1,
    last_context_length=1792,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=1.0,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))

Additional configuration

LongLLaMA has several other parameters:

mem_layers specifies layers endowed with memory (should be either an empty list or a list of all memory layers specified in the description of the checkpoint).
mem_dtype allows changing the type of memory cache
mem_attention_grouping can trade off speed for reduced memory usage. When equal to (4, 2048), the memory layers will process at most 4*2048 queries at once (4 heads and 2048 queries for each head).

import torch
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained("syzymon/long_llama_3b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "syzymon/long_llama_3b", torch_dtype=torch.float32, 
    mem_layers=[], 
    mem_dtype='bfloat16',
    trust_remote_code=True,
    mem_attention_grouping=(4, 2048),
)

Drop-in use with LLaMA code

LongLLaMA checkpoints can also be used as a drop-in replacement for LLaMA checkpoints in Hugging Face implementation of LLaMA, but in this case, they will be limited to the original context length of 2048.

from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM
import torch

tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained("syzymon/long_llama_3b")
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained("syzymon/long_llama_3b", torch_dtype=torch.float32)

How LongLLaMA handles long inputs

Inputs over 2048 tokens are automatically split into windows w_1, \ldots, w_m. The first m-2 windows contain 2048 tokens each, w_{m-1} has no more than 2048 tokens, and w_m contains the number of tokens specified by last_context_length. The model processes the windows one by one extending the memory cache after each. If use_cache is True, the last window will not be loaded to the memory cache but to the local (generation) cache.

The memory cache stores (key, value) pairs for each head of the specified memory layers mem_layers. In addition to this, it stores attention masks.

If use_cache=True (which is the case in generation), LongLLaMA will use two caches: the memory cache for the specified layers and the local (generation) cache for all layers. When the local cache exceeds 2048 elements, its content is moved to the memory cache for the memory layers.

For simplicity, context extension is realized with a memory cache and full attention in this repo. Replacing this simple mechanism with a KNN search over an external database is possible with systems like Faiss. This potentially would enable further context length scaling. We leave this as a future work.

LongLLaMA performance

We present some illustrative examples of LongLLaMA results and refer to our paper Focused Transformer: Contrastive Training for Context Scaling for more details.

We manage to achieve good performance on the passkey retrieval task from Landmark Attention: Random-Access Infinite Context Length for Transformers. The code for generating the prompt and running the model is located in examples/passkey.py.

LongLLaMA

Our LongLLaMA 3B model also shows improvements when using long context on two downstream tasks, TREC question classification and WebQS question answering.

Context/Dataset	TREC	WebQS
2K	67.0	21.2
4K	71.6	21.4
6K	72.9	22.2
8K	73.3	22.4

LongLLama retains performance on tasks that do not require long context. We provide a comparison with OpenLLaMA on lm-evaluation-harness in a zero-shot setting.
