This is reproduction of the paper LM-Infinite: Zero-Shot Extreme Length Generalization for Large Language Models in PyTorch. The work is done by Chi Han, Qifan Wang, Hao Peng, Wenhan Xiong, Yu Chen, Heng Ji, Sinong Wang.
In this paper, the authors propose a simple method, called LM-Infinite, to improve the length generalization of large language models to an extreme length of 200M tokens, without any additional training or parameter updates.
We are motivatedby first identifying three factors underlying the length generalization failure in LLMs: (a) Factor 1: Unseen distances between tokens cause attention logits to explode. (b) Factor 2: An unseen number of tokens can cause attention entropy to increase beyond the training range as the length increases. (c) Factor 3: Starting few tokens occupy a distinct feature region and should not be discarded.
The key idea is to use (1) a
We have implemented the LM-Infinite method as a drop-in replacement for HuggingFace Transformers. After you load the Transformers models, and if it is a Llama model, an MPT model, or a GPT-J model, you can run the following codes to enable LM-Infinite.
For Llama model:
from models.llama import convert_llama_model
model = convert_llama_model(model, 4096, 10)
For MPT model:
from models.mpt_7b import convert_mpt_model
model = convert_mpt_model(model, 4096, 10)
For GPT-J model:
from models.gpt_j import convert_gpt_j_model
model = convert_gpt_j_model(model, 4096, 10)
Then, you can use the model as usual!

For datasets, you need to prepared a corpus dataset.
If you download the the original Pile source (https://pile.eleuther.ai) to ${PILE_PATH}/test.jsonl.zst
and ${PILE_PATH}/val.jsonl.zst
, run the following commands to extract the compressed dataset.
cd ${PILE_PATH}
zstd -d ./ test.jsonl.zst
zstd -d ./ val.jsonl.zst
Then run the following commands to split the dataset into task-specific files.
cd ${REPOSITORY_ROOT}
mkdir -p ${PILE_PATH}/val
mkdir -p ${PILE_PATH}/test
python data/split_pile_file.py ${PILE_PATH}/val.jsonl ${PILE_PATH}/val
python data/split_pile_file.py ${PILE_PATH}/test.jsonl ${PILE_PATH}/test
However the official Pile does not seem to be available for download anymore, so you probably need to figure out another source(e.g., https://huggingface.co/datasets/arxiv_dataset or https://openwebtext2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). Alternatively, you can also use your own corpus. Both two options require you to edit data/get_data.py.
For backbone models, the paper uses Llama-2, LLaMA, GPT-J, and MPT-7B. The last 3 models are directly available on-the-fly from HuggingFace model hub so not action is needed beforehand. The Llama-2 download key needs to be requested from Meta AI request form. Then run the following command
bash models/get_llama2/download_llama2.sh
and follow prompts to download the checkpoints to ${PATH_TO_LLAMA2_CHECKPOINTS}
.
Then run
python models/get_llama2/convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py \
--input_dir ${PATH_TO_LLAMA2_CHECKPOINTS} \
--model_size 7B \
--output_dir ${PATH_TO_LLAMA2_CHECKPOINTS}/llama-2-7b-hf
to convert the llama-2-7b checkpoints to huggingface format.
The codes requires a ${LOG_DIR}
to store the logs and results.
Please select a directory with enough space.

A brief explanation of the arguments:
--model
: the path or name to model. Passdecapoda-research/llama-7b-hf
to use LLaMA,mosaicml/mpt-7b
to use MPT-7B, andEleutherAI/gpt-j-6b
to use GPT-J-6B.--tokenizer_path
: the path to the tokenizer. Remove this argument if not using Llama-2.--use_lambda_attention
: use lambda attention. (Required for LM-Infinite)--local_branch
: the local branch size. 2048 for LLaMA, MPT-7B and GPT-J (Required for LM-Infinite)--global_branch
: the global branch size. Range 10-100 gives generally similar effect. (Required for LM-Infinite)--limit_distance
: the distance limit. 2048 for LLaMA, MPT-7B and GPT-J (Required for LM-Infinite)--dataset
: the dataset name. See data/get_data.py to figure how to use custom datasets.
If you want to evaluate on vanilla models without LM-Infinite, simply remove the
--use_lambda_attention --local_branch 4096 --global_branch 100 --limit_distance 4096
argument set.
If you want only to evaluate on a subset of the test set, you can use the --start_data_from
argument to specify the starting index of the test set, and/or --max_data_num
to specify the number of examples after that index.
