    "instruction": "You are a cardiovascular doctor and need to give advice based on the question asked by a patient: I have been suffering from hypertension for five or six years, and I am tired of taking medicine every day. What can cure hypertension and what is the bane of hypertension?",
    "output": "Patients with hypertension can eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, such as celery and yam, which help lower blood pressure. Patients with hypertension also need to eat food that is low in salt, fat, and cholesterol. Patients who exercise must continue taking oral antihypertensive medicine as prescribed by doctors. They must not stop medication to prevent negative impacts on blood pressure."

    "instruction": "You are a respiratory doctor and need to give advice based on the question asked by a patient: How do I treat cold cough with white sputum?",
    "output": "Patients with a wind-cold type of common cold, characterized by a cough with white phlegm, often experience symptoms such as persistent cough with abundant white sputum, chest and abdominal discomfort, nasal congestion, a runny nose with clear discharge, body aches, and fatigue. In clinical practice, Xing Su San and Er Chen Wan are commonly used for treatment. During medical treatment, avoid spicy, irritating, and cold food. Instead, opt for easily digestible and nutritious food, maintain a light diet, and ensure plenty of rest."

1. In the upper-right corner of the model details page, click Train. In the Train panel, configure the following key parameters:

   • Dataset Configuration: You can specify the Object Storage Service (OSS) path that contains your prepared dataset or select a dataset file that is stored in Apsara File Storage NAS (NAS) or Cloud Parallel File Storage (CPFS). You can also select the default path to use the public datasets provided by PAI.

   • Computing resources: The fine-tuning algorithm requires a V100, P100, or T4 GPU with 16 GB of memory. Make sure that the resource quota that you use has sufficient computing resources.

   • Hyper-parameters: Configure the hyperparameters of the fine-tuning algorithm based on your business requirements. The following table describes the hyperparameters.

     Hyperparameter	Type	Default value	Required	Description
     training_strategy	string	sft	Yes	The training strategy. Valid values: sft and dpo.
     learning_rate	float	5e-5	Yes	The learning rate, which controls the extent to which the model is adjusted.
     num_train_epochs	int	1	Yes	The number of epochs. An epoch is a full cycle of exposing each sample in the training dataset to the algorithm.
     per_device_train_batch_size	int	1	Yes	The number of samples processed by each GPU in one training iteration. A higher value results in higher training efficiency and higher memory usage.
     seq_length	int	128	Yes	The length of the input data processed by the model in one training iteration.
     lora_dim	int	32	No	The inner dimensions of the low-rank matrices that are used in Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) or QLoRA training. Set this parameter to a value greater than 0.
     lora_alpha	int	32	No	The LoRA or QLoRA weights. This parameter takes effect only if you set the lora_dim parameter to a value greater than 0.
     dpo_beta	float	0.1	No	The extent to which the model relies on preference information during model training.
     load_in_4bit	bool	false	No	Specifies whether to load the model in 4-bit quantization. This parameter takes effect only if you set the lora_dim parameter to a value greater than 0 and the load_in_8bit parameter to false.
     load_in_8bit	bool	false	No	Specifies whether to load the model in 8-bit quantization. This parameter takes effect only if you set the lora_dim parameter to a value greater than 0 and the load_in_4bit parameter to false.
     gradient_accumulation_steps	int	8	No	The number of gradient accumulation steps.
     apply_chat_template	bool	true	No	Specifies whether the algorithm combines the training data with the default chat template. Example: Question: <|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\n + instruction + <|eot_id|> Answer: <|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n + output + <|eot_id|>

2. After you configure the parameters, click Train. On the training job details page, you can view the status and log of the training job.

   

   After the training is complete, you can click Deploy in the upper-right corner. The trained model is automatically registered to the Models of the AI Asset Management module. You can view or deploy the trained model. For more information, see Register and manage models.

Use the model in PAI SDK for Python

You can call pre-trained models in Model Gallery by using PAI SDK for Python. Before you call a pre-trained model, you must install and configure PAI SDK for Python.

# Install PAI SDK for Python.
python -m pip install alipai --upgrade

# Interactively configure the required information, such as your AccessKey pair and PAI workspace.
python -m pai.toolkit.config

For information about how to obtain the required information, such as your Access Key pair and PAI workspace, see Install and configure PAI SDK for Python.

Deploy and call the model service

You can easily deploy the Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct model to EAS based on the preset configuration provided by Model Gallery of PAI.

from pai.model import RegisteredModel

# Obtain the model from PAI.
model = RegisteredModel(
    model_name="Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct",
    model_provider="pai"
)

# Deploy the model without fine-tuning.
predictor = model.deploy(
    service="llama3_chat_example"
)

# You can use the printed URL to access the deployed model service in a web application.
print(predictor.console_uri)

Train the model

After you obtain the pre-trained model provided by Model Gallery, you can train the model.

# Obtain the fine-tuning algorithm for the model.
est = model.get_estimator()

# Obtain the public datasets and the pre-trained model that are provided by PAI.
training_inputs = model.get_estimator_inputs()

# Specify custom datasets.
# training_inputs.update(
#     {
#         "train": "<The OSS or on-premises path of the training dataset>",
#         "validation": "<The OSS or on-premises path of the validation dataset>"
#     }
# )

# Use the public datasets to submit a training job.
est.fit(
    inputs=training_inputs
)

# View the OSS path in which the trained model is stored.
print(est.model_data())
