    Hyperparameters control how the model’s weights are updated during the training process. To make configuration easier, we categorize hyperparameters into 5 distinct groups based on their function and relevance:

    Group 1 - General

    The core settings of your training process.

    Name Description Type Supported value
    Batch size The number of examples the model processes in one forward and backward pass before updating its weight. Large batches slow down training, but may produce more stable results.
    In case of distributed training, this is batch size on each device.    		 Int [1, +∞)
    Epochs An epoch is a single complete pass through your entire training data during model training. You will typically run multiple epochs so the model can iteratively refine its weights. Int [1, +∞)
    Learning rate Adjusts the size of changes made to the model’s learned parameters. Float (0, 1)
    Max sequence length Max input length, longer sequences will be cut off to this value. Int [1, +∞)
    Distributed backend Backend to use for distributed training. Enum[string] DDP, DeepSpeed
    ZeRO stage Stage to apply DeepSpeed ZeRO algorithm. Only apply when Distributed backend = DeepSpeed. Enum[int] 1, 2, 3
    Training type Which parameter mode to use. Enum[string] Full, LoRA
    Resume from checkpoint Relative path of the checkpoint that the training engine will resume from. Union[bool, string] No, Last checkpoint, Path/to/checkpoint

    Group 2 - Training runtime

    Optimize the efficiency and performance of your training.

    Name Description Type Supported value
    Gradient accumulation steps Number of update steps to accumulate the gradients for, before performing a backward/update pass. Int [1, +∞)
    Mixed precision Type of mixed precision to use. Enum[string] Bf16, Fp16, None
    Quantization bit The number of bits to quantize the model using on-the-fly quantization. Currently only applicable when Training type = LoRA. Enum[string] None
    Optimizer Optimizer to use for training. Enum[string] Adamw, Sgd
    Weight decay Weight decay to apply to the optimizer. Float [0, +∞)
    Max gradient norm Maximum norm for gradient clipping. Float [0, +∞)
    Disable gradient checkpointing Whether or not to disable gradient checkpointing. Bool True, False
    Flash attention v2 Whether to use flash attention version 2. Currently only support false. Bool False
    LR warmup steps Number of steps used for a linear warmup from 0 to Learning rate. Int [0, +∞)
    LR warmup ratio Ratio of total training steps used for a linear warmup. Float [0, 1)
    LR scheduler Learning rate scheduler to use. Enum[string] Linear, Cosine, Constant
    Full determinism Ensure reproducible results in distributed training. Important: this will negatively impact the performance, so only use it for debugging.
    If True, setting Seed will not take effect.    		 Bool True, False
    Seed Random seed for reproducibility. Int [0, +∞)

    Group 3 - DPO

    Enable this group when using trainer = DPO.

    Name Description Type Supported value
    DPO label smoothing The robust DPO label smoothing parameter in DPO should be between 0 and 0.5. Float [0, 0.5]
    Preference beta The beta parameter in the preference loss. Float [0, 1]
    Preference fine-tuning mix The SFT loss coefficient in DPO training. Float [0, 10]
    Preference loss The type of DPO loss to use. Enum[string] Sigmoid, Hinge, Ipo, Kto pair, Orpo, Simpo
    SimPO gamma The target reward margin in SimPO loss. Used only when applicable. Float (0, +∞)

    Group 4 - LoRA

    Enable this group when using Training type = LoRA.

    Name Description Type Supported value
    Merge adapter Whether or not to merge the LoRA adapter into the base model to provide the final model. If not, only the LoRA adapter will be saved after training is done. Bool True, False
    LoRA alpha Alpha parameter for LoRA. Int [1, +∞)
    LoRA dropout Dropout rate for LoRA. Float [0, 1]
    LoRA rank Rank of the LoRA matrices. Int [1, +∞)
    Target modules Target modules for quantization or fine-tuning. String All linear

    Group 5 - Others

    Control how fine-tuning progress is tracked and saved.

    Name Description Type Supported value
    Checkpoint strategy The checkpoint save strategy to adopt during training.
    “best” only applicable when Evaluation strategy is not “no”.    		 Enum[string] No, Epoch, Steps
    Checkpoint steps Number of training steps before two checkpoint saves if Checkpoint strategy = step. Int [1, +∞)
    Evaluation strategy The evaluation strategy to adopt during training. Enum[string] No, Epoch, Steps
    Evaluation steps Number of update steps between two evaluations if Evaluation strategy = steps.
    Will default to the same value as Logging steps if not set.    		 Int [1, +∞)
    No. of checkpoints If a value is passed, it will limit the total amount of checkpoint. Int [1, +∞)
    Save best checkpoint Whether or not to track and keep the best checkpoint. Currently only supports False. Bool False
    Logging steps Number of steps between logging events including stdout logs and MLflow data points.
    Logging steps = -1 means log on every step.    		 Int [0, +∞)
