+# 🔥 Flame: Flash Language Modeling Made Easy
+
+</div>
+
+Welcome to 🔥 `flame`, a minimal and efficient framework built on `torchtitan` for language models with blazing efficiency.
+
+**Feature Highlights:**
+
+- 🚀 Minimal, easy-to-use, extensible training framework
+- 🤗 Seamless integration with `fla` and `transformers`
+- 🔄 Zero-cost data preprocessing: online tokenization, dataset shuffling, and multiple datasets support
+- 🔮 4D parallelism (coming soon)
+
+## Setup
+
+To get started, clone the `flame` repository and install the required dependencies:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/fla-org/flame.git
+cd flame
+pip install .
+```
+
+Install the latest version of fla
+```
+pip uninstall flash-linear-attention && pip install -U --no-use-pep517 git+https://github.com/fla-org/flash-linear-attention
+```
+
+[Important] Install specific version of torchtitan
+```
+pip install git+https://github.com/pytorch/torchtitan.git@5e2033c
+```
+
+
+## Dataset Preparation
+To download the dataset to your local disk, create a new Python file with the following content and execute it:
+
+```py
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+# load fineweb-edu with parallel processing
+dataset = load_dataset("HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu", name="default", num_proc=64, cache_dir="/your/cache/path")
+
+# or load a subset with roughly 100B tokens, suitable for small- or medium-sized experiments
+dataset = load_dataset("HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu", name="sample-100BT", num_proc=64, cache_dir="/your/cache/path")
+```
+
+## Training Recipes
+
+Here's an example of training a 340M FLA Transformer model with a LLaMA-like architecture from scratch on a 100BT subset of the Fineweb-edu corpus ~~in streaming mode~~. (Do not use streaming mode if you are concerned about resuming training.)
+ 
+> [!WARNING]
+> If the dataset is not downloaded beforehand, the streaming mode will attempt to fetch it from a remote server and download it on-the-fly, which can be highly unstable during training due to network issues.  
+> For stable training, ensure the dataset is downloaded locally (see [**Dataset Preparation**](#dataset-preparation)). Otherwise, we assume you are only testing the new corpus.
+
+```sh
+bash train.sh \
+  --job.config_file flame/models/fla.toml \
+  --job.dump_folder exp/transformer-340M-4K-10B/batch1.seqlen65536.context4096.warmup1024.update1.steps20480.lr1e-3.cosine \

+
+You can specify the number of GPUs by setting the environment variable `NGPU`, which defaults to 8.  
+**For single-GPU debugging, set `NGPU=1`.**
+
+We provide several [config files](https://github.com/fla-org/flame/tree/main/configs) for different models.
+By default, the learning rate is set to 1e-3 with a cosine scheduler. Other schedulers, such as WSD (wsd), are also supported.
+
+**Key parameters:**
+- `--lr_scheduler.decay_ratio`: The proportion of the steps allocated to the decay phase. The learning rate will remain stable after the warmup period and only start decaying during the last `decay_ratio` portion of the total training steps, which is known as the Warmup-Stable-Decay (WSD) schedule.
+- `--lr_scheduler.warmup_steps`: The number of steps for the learning rate warmup phase.
+- `--training.steps`: Total number of training steps.
+- `--training.batch_size`: Batch size per device, must be 1 if `--training.varlen` is set.
+- `--training.seq_len`: The length of each sequence in the batch, which is concatenated from multiple samples.
+- `--training.context_len`: The max allowed length of a sample. For non-varlen mode, this is equivalent to `seq_len`.
+- `--training.varlen`: Whether to conduct variable-length sequence training.
+- `--training.gradient_accumulation_steps`: Number of gradient accumulation steps.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> The total number of tokens processed per batch, referred to as `global_batch_size`, is calculated as batch_size × gradient_accumulation_steps × num_gpus.
+> Each step processes `global_batch_size * seq_len` tokens.  
+> Monitor the value of `global_batch_size`, `warmup_steps`, and `steps` carefully when modifying any of the hyperparameters!
+
+For a detailed explanation of all parameters, run:

+                        Data Parallelism). Otherwise, the parallelism method
+                        used is DDP (Distributed Data Parallelism). 1 means

+                        torch dtype to use for parameters when applying mixed

+                        when data_parallel_shard_degree > 1
+  --training.mixed_precision_reduce {float32}
+                        torch dtype to use for reductions when applying mixed
+                        precision via FSDP. This feature only takes effect
+                        when data_parallel_shard_degree > 1

+  --training.seed TRAINING.SEED
+                        Choose the base RNG seed used for training
+  --training.deterministic
+                        Use deterministic algorithms wherever possible, may be
+                        slower
+  --metrics.log_freq METRICS.LOG_FREQ
+                        How often to log metrics to TensorBoard, in iterations
+  --metrics.enable_tensorboard
+                        Whether to log metrics to TensorBoard
+  --metrics.disable_color_printing

+                        for all ranks. When pipeline_parallel_degree is > 1,
+                        this option uses the 0th rank of the last stage
+                        pipeline group, which is the only stage that computes
+                        loss metrics.

+                        Whether to log metrics to Weights & Biases
+  --experimental.enable_async_tensor_parallel
+                        Whether to apply async tensor parallel (currently only
+                        effective when compile is enabled)
+  --experimental.pipeline_parallel_degree EXPERIMENTAL.PIPELINE_PARALLEL_DEGREE
+                        Pipeline Parallelism degree, or number of ranks. 1
+                        means disabled. If using looped schedules, this still
+                        specifies the number of physical ranks, not the number
+                        of stages. Stages per rank are inferred from split
+                        points degree, and schedule.
+  --experimental.pipeline_parallel_split_points EXPERIMENTAL.PIPELINE_PARALLEL_SPLIT_POINTS [EXPERIMENTAL.PIPELINE_PARALLEL_SPLIT_POINTS ...]
+                        Specify comma-separated names of modules to use as the
+                        beginning of a split point. e.g. "layers.0,layers.2"
+                        will cause the model to be split into 3 stages, the
+                        first containing all the layers up to layers.0, the
+                        second containing layers.0 and up to layers.2, the
+                        third containing layers.2 and all the remaining
+                        layers. Note: fully-automated splitting may be enabled
+                        in the future, but currently the split points must be
+                        specified manually.
+  --experimental.pipeline_parallel_schedule EXPERIMENTAL.PIPELINE_PARALLEL_SCHEDULE
+                        Specify the Pipeline Parallel schedule to use. The
+                        supported schedules are: https://github.com/pytorch/py
+                        torch/blob/de4c2a3b4e89d96334dc678d1c3f2ae51a6630a0/to

+  --experimental.pipeline_parallel_schedule_csv EXPERIMENTAL.PIPELINE_PARALLEL_SCHEDULE_CSV
+                        Specify the path to the pipeline parallel schedule csv

+                        training batch size must be evenly divisible by the
+                        number of microbatches. The default value will be the
+                        number of pipeline stages, if unspecified.
+  --experimental.enable_compiled_autograd
+                        Enable CompiledAutograd to compile the backward.

+                        computation, 'alltoall' means to all-to-all shuffle
+                        the kv shards. The default value is 'allgather'.
+  --checkpoint.enable_checkpoint
+                        Whether to enable checkpoint
+  --checkpoint.folder CHECKPOINT.FOLDER
+                        The folder to store the checkpoints. When
+                        enable_checkpoint is set to true, checkpoints will be
+                        in {--job.dump_folder}/{--checkpoint.folder}.
+  --checkpoint.interval_type CHECKPOINT.INTERVAL_TYPE
+                        Checkpointing interval unit of measurement ['step',
+                        'seconds']
+  --checkpoint.interval CHECKPOINT.INTERVAL
+                        Checkpointing interval, in steps or seconds depending
+                        on --checkpoint.interval_type
+  --checkpoint.model_weights_only
+                        When model_weights_only=True, only model weights will
+                        be saved at the end of training. With this,
+                        checkpoints can be loaded using `torch.load(...,
+                        weights_only=True)` after conversion. When
+                        model_weights_only=False, the full checkpoint will be
+                        saved. A full checkpoint includes model, optimizer and
+                        train_state, which can be used to resume training. The
+                        default value is false.
+  --checkpoint.export_dtype {float16,bfloat16,float32}
+                        Converts to the specified precision when training
+                        completes and model_weights_only=true. Currently
+                        supports float32, float16, and bfloat16. The default
+                        value is float32.
+  --checkpoint.create_seed_checkpoint
+                        Initializes the full model without applying
+                        parallelisms, and then saves it as a seed checkpoint.
+                        Note: requires user to call train.py without
+                        specifying any parallelisms, e.g. NGPU=1. Could be
+                        implemented as a separate script, but this way shares
+                        more code.
+  --checkpoint.async_mode CHECKPOINT.ASYNC_MODE
+                        Which async checkpoint mode to use. Currently there
+                        are 3 different modes. 1. "disabled": synchronized
+                        checkpointing will be used. 2. "async":
+                        torch.distributed.checkpoint.async_save will be used.
+                        1. "async_with_pinned_mem": this option utilizes a
+                        dedicated pinned memory space and creates a separate
+                        process for faster GPU->CPU transfer performance and
+                        eliminating GIL contention. The cost is increased CPU
+                        memory usage. If insufficient CPU memory is available,
+                        performance may degrade due to memory paging. For most
+                        users, "async" should suffice as the performance
+                        overhead is typically small (on the order of tens of
+                        seconds) compared to checkpointing frequency. This
+                        mode can be employed to pursue near-zero checkpointing
+                        times (e.g., < 1 second) given appropriate hardware
+                        support such as ample CPU memory and fast PCIe.
+                        "disabled" is the default mode.
+  --checkpoint.keep_latest_k CHECKPOINT.KEEP_LATEST_K
+                        Keeps only the latest k checkpoints, and purging older
+                        ones. If 0, keep all checkpoints. 0 is the default
+                        value.
+  --checkpoint.load_step CHECKPOINT.LOAD_STEP
+                        Load the checkpoint at the specified step. If -1, load
+                        the latest checkpoint.
+  --float8.enable_float8_linear
+                        If true, swaps `torch.nn.Linear` with `Float8Linear`.

+
+### Training with `torch.compile`
+
+Starting from `torch 2.0`, `torch.compile` has been introduced as a new feature to seamlessly accelerate training processes.
+In `flame`, one can simply enable `torch.compile` by adding `--training.compile` flag to your training script.
+
+However, `fla` has integrated numerous fused kernels for acceleration, which may potentially conflict with `torch.compile`.
+We are actively working on resolving these issues to make compilation transparent to users.
+In the meantime, please ensure you are using the latest dependencies.
+
+Specifically, **we recommend using `torch>=2.6` and `triton>=3.0`**.
+
+### Training with multiple datasets
+
+If you wish to train a model with all-round capabilities (e.g., code, math, and multilingual ability), it's necessary to train on multiple datasets.
+`flame` allows training with multiple datasets easily.
+For example, you can specify the following arguments to train on 6 datasets with different proportions:
+
+```sh
+  --training.dataset HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu,opencsg/Fineweb-Edu-Chinese-V2.1,OpenCoder-LLM/opc-fineweb-code-corpus,math-ai/AutoMathText,EleutherAI/proof-pile-2,OpenCoder-LLM/opc-fineweb-math-corpus   \
+  --training.data_probs 0.6,0.15,0.15,0.014,0.058,0.028     \
+```
+
+### ~Finalizing training~
+
+> [!NOTE]  
+> We have done this conversion automatically in the training script since our latest updates.
+
+Once training is complete, you may want to convert the distributed checkpoints (DCPs) into the 🤗 format for broader use.
+To facilitate this, we provide a straightforward conversion script:
+
+```sh
+python -m flame.utils.convert_dcp_to_hf --path <path_to_model> --step <step> --config <path_to_config> --tokenizer <path_to_tokenizer>
+```
+After this, your model will be in the 🤗 format, ready to be shared or deployed.
+You can then easily publish your model using the `huggingface_hub` for wider accessibility.
+
+### Continual training
+
+If you wish to build upon a strong pre-trained model (in 🤗 format) and continue training, we also offer a script to convert the 🤗 format model back into DCP format.
+This allows you to seamlessly resume training with `flame`.
+```sh
+python -m flame.utils.convert_hf_to_dcp --model <path_to_hf> --checkpoint <path_to_dcp/checkpoint/step-0>
+```
+Here, `<path_to_dcp>` is the directory where your distributed checkpoints will be stored.
+The checkpoint is intentionally saved at `<step-0>` within the checkpoint folder to ensure it is loadable by `flame` during the initial training step, similar to how a seed checkpoint is handled.
+
+Once the conversion is complete, you can proceed with training using `flame` as usual, continuing from where the pretrained model left off.
+
+## Multi-node training
+
+If you have access to multi-node GPUs, consider leveraging them for optimal performance.
+This process is straightforward and well-documented in the PyTorch [docs](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/elastic/run.html).
+
+To set up multi-node training:
+* Set the environment variables `MASTER_ADDR=<ip>` and `MASTER_PORT=<port>` before running the training script across all nodes.
+* If you're using a job scheduler like Slurm, it will handle these variables for you.
+
+`torchtitan` provides a [Slurm script](https://github.com/pytorch/torchtitan/blob/main/multinode_trainer.slurm) for multi-node training, which you can use as a reference or starting point.
+
+## Custom models
+
+`flame` supports custom model architectures through seamless integration with the Hugging Face `transformers` library. To add your own model:
+
+1. Create a new model directory under `custom_models/` (see `custom_models/sba` for a complete example)
+2. Implement your model classes and configuration:
+   - Define a config class inheriting from `PretrainedConfig` (see `custom_models/sba/config_sba.py` for an example)
+   - Create model classes inheriting from `PreTrainedModel` (see `custom_models/sba/modeling_sba.py` for an example)
+3. Register your models in `__init__.py`:
+   - Import your model classes and config classes
+   - Register your models with the `AutoModelForCausalLM`, `AutoModel` and `AutoConfig` classes (see `custom_models/sba/__init__.py` for an example)
+4. Create a config file for your custom model, just need to specify the `model_type` to the one you just named for your custom model (example: `configs/sba_340m.json`).
+5. Training is extremely simple, you can just use the `flame.train.py` script to train your custom model.

+class OffloadActivations(saved_tensors_hooks):
+    """Context manager under which activation tensors created in the forward pass will be offloaded.
+
+    Enable the memory efficiency technique of activation offloading, where activations bigger than
+    min_offload_size bytes will be offloaded to CPU in the forward and brought back in the backward.
+    This is in contrast to maintaining the activation on GPU VRAM throughout the program.
+
+    This manager contains the option of using one additional CUDA stream to handle the communication
+    between CUDA and CPU, which is intended to overlap with the default computation stream to improve
+    runtime. We designed synchronization with a few heuristics for optimizing the tradeoff between
+    runtime vs memory usage.
+
+    Args:
+        use_pin_memory (bool): Whether or not the offloaded Tensor will be placed in pinned
+            memory on the CPU. Pinned memory allows the Tensor to be moved back onto GPU more quickly
+            but is a limited resource. Default: True.
+
+        use_streams (bool): Whether or not to use streams for performance optimization where
+            the communications get overlapped with the computation. Requires a torch build
+            after torch-2.5.0.]. Default: True.
+
+        max_fwd_stash_size (int): The maximum size of the forward stash, or the maximum number of
+            consecutive activations to keep alive during the forward pass. This number must be at
+            least 1. Keeping alive more activations will potentially allow more overlap between the
+            communication and compute streams at the cost of increasing memory usage. Keeping alive
+            fewer activations will conserve memory, but may cause poor overlap between the streams,
+            increasing runtime. Default: 5.
+
+        min_offload_size (int): The minimum number of bytes a Tensor must be in order to qualify
+            for offloading. If the tensor is too small, we do not want to waste bandwidth and resources
+            moving it to CPU and back. Default: 1024 bytes.
+
+    Raises:
+        ValueError: if max_fwd_stash_size is not at least 1.
+
+    Example:
+        >>> with OffloadActivations():
+        >>>     logits = model(inputs)
+        >>> loss = ...
+        >>> loss.backward()
