Motivation and Changes
The requirements files specified in ./requirements have historically been strict, as to prevent CI Docker images changing without our prior knowledge. However, this places a burden on users who would like to run GPT-NeoX on a host without containerization, and many non-critical packages are unnecessarily strictly specified as well. This motivates the following changes in this PR:
einops
requirement. This is an artifact of the old T5 positional bias code and is safely removable.wandb
optional, making installation accessible through a new requirements file ./requirements/requirements-wandb.txt.wandb
installed: Users are instructed to either install thewandb
package or disable the feature in the configuration via use_wandb.Notes
This PR supersedes #456. The following changes were not maintained from #456:
mpi4py
. These were less relevant in the past, but in the time since October 2021 this reality has changed and has become worth maintaining again.
