BitCPM Training Example
This project provides scripts for continue pretraining (CPT) and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of BitCPM-CANN-1B-unquantized.
File Description
CPT and SFT each have a pair of scripts (training script + launch script) and share DeepSpeed configuration files:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
run.sh |
Launch script for CPT with hyperparameter configuration |
run_sft.sh |
Launch script for SFT with hyperparameter configuration |
train.py |
Continue pretrain script based on HuggingFace Trainer + DeepSpeed |
train_sft.py |
Supervised fine-tuning script based on HuggingFace Trainer + DeepSpeed |
ds_config.json |
DeepSpeed ZeRO-3 configuration (with CPU offload) |
ds_config_z2.json |
DeepSpeed ZeRO-2 configuration (used by default) |
requirements.txt |
Python dependency list |
Environment Setup
Docker Image
Use the following Huawei NPU image on 910C:
swr.cn-south-1.myhuaweicloud.com/ascendhub/mindspeed-llm:openeuler22.03-mindspeed-llm-2.3.0-a3-arm
Other Huawei NPU images may also work but have not been fully tested.
For GPU environments, there are no special image requirements — just install requirements.txt directly.
Install Dependencies
After entering the container, install the Python dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Continue Pretrain (CPT)
Dataset
The test dataset used is C4-Pro, stored in parquet format after downloading.
Usage
Modify the path configuration in run.sh:
MODEL_PATH="/path/to/BitCPM-CANN-1B-unquantized/"
DATA_PATH="/path/to/c4-pro/data/your_file.parquet"
Then start training:
bash run.sh
Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)
Dataset
The test dataset used is UltraChat 200k, stored in parquet format after downloading.
Usage
Modify the path configuration in run_sft.sh:
MODEL_PATH="/path/to/BitCPM-CANN-1B-unquantized/"
DATA_PATH="/path/to/ultrachat_200k/data/your_file.parquet"
Then start training:
bash run_sft.sh
Training Results Reference
Note: BitCPM has its own training dataset and data mixture. It is expected that the loss continues to decrease when training on open-source datasets.
Below are the loss curves from smoke tests on GPU and NPU for both CPT and SFT tasks. The results are highly consistent across GPU and NPU, indicating that users can continue pre-training or fine-tuning on various compute devices:
Training log CSV files (corresponding to the loss curves above):
| CSV File | Corresponding Loss Curve |
|---|---|
| gpu_pretrain.csv | GPU CPT |
| npu_pretrain.csv | NPU CPT |
| gpu_sft.csv | GPU SFT |
| npu_sft.csv | NPU SFT |
These scripts provide a convenient, ready-to-use toolkit for QAT-aware continued pre-training and fine-tuning of BitCPM-CANN models, so you can quickly adapt the model to your own data and tasks while preserving ternary quantization constraints.
