# OLoRA: Orthonormal Low Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models

## Introduction
[OLoRA](https://huggingface.co/papers/2406.01775) is a novel approach that leverages orthonormal low rank adaptation through QR decomposition. Unlike the default LoRA implementation, OLoRA decomposes original weights into their $\mathbf{Q}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ parts, and then uses the first `rank` rows of $\mathbf{R}$ and the first `rank` columns of $\mathbf{Q}$ to initialize $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$, respectively. This results in significantly faster convergence, more stable training, and superior performance.

## Quick start
```python
import torch
from peft import LoraConfig, get_peft_model
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from trl import SFTConfig, SFTTrainer
from datasets import load_dataset

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("facebook/opt-350m", dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/opt-350m")
dataset = load_dataset("imdb", split="train[:1%]")
lora_config = LoraConfig(
    init_lora_weights="olora"
)
peft_model = get_peft_model(model, lora_config)
training_args = SFTConfig(dataset_text_field="text", max_length=128)
trainer = SFTTrainer(
    model=peft_model,
    train_dataset=dataset,
    processing_class=tokenizer,
)
trainer.train()
peft_model.save_pretrained("olora-opt-350m")
```

There is no additional change needed to your standard LoRA procedure, except for specifying `init_lora_weights = "olora"` option in your lora configuration.

Additionally you can refer to olora finetuning script.
Run the script simply by running:
```bash
python3 examples/olora_finetuning/olora_finetuning.py --base_model facebook/opt-350m
```
OLoRA also supports quantization. To use 4-bit quantization try:
```bash
python3 examples/olora_finetuning/olora_finetuning.py --base_model facebook/opt-350m --quantize
```
or you can just pass a quantized model without the quantize flag.

If you want to run DDP by [accelerate](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/en/index), please run `accelerate config` to set your ddp config, and run:
```bash
accelerate launch examples/olora_finetuning/olora_finetuning.py --base_model facebook/opt-350m
```
please add `--device_map cpu` if you want to run finetune on CPU.

If you want to train a quantized model like AWQ and GPTQ which do not support olora init method, please pass `--init_lora_weights gaussian`. For example:
```bash
python3 examples/olora_finetuning/olora_finetuning.py --base_model hugging-quants/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-AWQ-INT4 --init_lora_weights gaussian

```


## Use the model
You can load and use the model as any other 🤗 PEFT model
```python
from peft import PeftModel
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("facebook/opt-350m")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/opt-350m")
olora_model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "olora-opt-350m")
```

## OLoRA and LoRA
OLoRA differs from LoRA in that it mutates the original weights. To utilize multiple adapters simultaneously, you can leverage the `path_initial_model_for_weight_conversion` option. Below is a simple template illustrating how to convert OLoRA to conventional LoRA:
```python
base_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("facebook/opt-350m")
olora_config = LoraConfig(
    ...
    init_lora_weights = "olora" # Initialize the model with OLoRA
)
olora_model = get_peft_model(base_model, olora_config)
init_path = <path-to-untrained-olora-model>
olora_model.save_pretrained(init_path) # Save the model *before* performing any training

# Train the model
train(olora_model) # Your training loop

#Save the model after training
olora_model.save_pretrained(output_dir, path_initial_model_for_weight_conversion=init_path) 
```
After completing training, you can save and convert your OLoRA model to a conventional LoRA model by setting `path_initial_model_for_weight_conversion` to `init_path`, that is the path of your untrained OLoRA model. This conversion enables you to use multiple adapters with your LoRA model. Note that this conversion is not supported if `rslora` is used in combination with `rank_pattern` or `alpha_pattern`.
