GPT-NeoX / Pythia

View as Markdown

GPT-NeoX is EleutherAI’s large-scale language model architecture. The same GPTNeoXForCausalLM architecture is used by the Pythia scaling suite, OpenAssistant, Databricks Dolly, and StableLM models.

Example HF Models

Try with NeMo AutoModel

Install NeMo AutoModel and follow the fine-tuning guide to configure a recipe for this model.

1. Install (full instructions):

$pip install nemo-automodel

2. Clone the repo to get example recipes you can adapt:

$git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Automodel.git
$cd Automodel

3. Fine-tune by adapting a base LLM recipe — override the model ID on the CLI:

$automodel --nproc-per-node=8 examples/llm_finetune/llama3_2/llama3_2_1b_squad.yaml \
> --model.pretrained_model_name_or_path <MODEL_HF_ID>

Replace <MODEL_HF_ID> with the model ID from Example HF Models above.

1. Pull the container and mount a checkpoint directory:

$docker run --gpus all -it --rm \
> --shm-size=8g \
> -v $(pwd)/checkpoints:/opt/Automodel/checkpoints \
> nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo-automodel:26.06.00

2. The recipes are at /opt/Automodel/examples/ — navigate there:

$cd /opt/Automodel

3. Fine-tune:

$automodel --nproc-per-node=8 examples/llm_finetune/llama3_2/llama3_2_1b_squad.yaml \
> --model.pretrained_model_name_or_path <MODEL_HF_ID>
