Dolly

This fine-tunes the GPT-J 6B model on the Alpaca dataset using a Databricks notebook. Please note that while GPT-J 6B is Apache 2.0 licensed, the Alpaca dataset is licensed under Creative Commons NonCommercial (CC BY-NC 4.0).

Get Started Training

• Add the dolly repo to Databricks (under Repos click Add Repo, enter https://github.com/databrickslabs/dolly.git, then click Create Repo).
• Start a 12.2 LTS ML (includes Apache Spark 3.3.2, GPU, Scala 2.12) single-node cluster with node type having 8 A100 GPUs (e.g. Standard_ND96asr_v4 or p4d.24xlarge).
• Open the train_dolly notebook in the dolly repo, attach to your GPU cluster, and run all cells. When training finishes, the notebook will save the model under /dbfs/dolly_training.
