- Introduced new skills tools: `skills_categories`, `skills_list`, and `skill_view` in `model_tools.py`, allowing for better organization and access to skill-related functionalities. - Updated `toolsets.py` to include a new `skills` toolset, providing a dedicated space for skill tools. - Enhanced `batch_runner.py` to recognize and validate skills tools during batch processing. - Added comprehensive tool definitions for skills tools, ensuring compatibility with OpenAI's expected format. - Created new shell script `test_skills_kimi.sh` for testing skills tool functionality with Kimi K2.5. - Added example skill files demonstrating the structure and usage of skills within the Hermes-Agent framework, including `SKILL.md` for example and audiocraft skills. - Improved documentation for skills tools and their integration into the existing tool framework, ensuring clarity for future development and usage.

# FSDP2 in TorchTitan
|
|
|
|
## Why FSDP2?
|
|
|
|
FSDP2 is a rewrite of PyTorch's Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) API, removing the `FlatParameter` abstraction for better composability and simpler implementation.
|
|
|
|
### Key improvements over FSDP1
|
|
|
|
- **DTensor-based sharding**: Sharded parameters are `DTensor`s on dim-0, enabling easy manipulation and communication-free sharded state dicts
|
|
- **Better memory management**: Deterministic and lower GPU memory (7% reduction) by avoiding `recordStream`
|
|
- **Simplified API**: Fewer arguments, no wrapper class
|
|
|
|
### Performance
|
|
|
|
On Llama-7B with 8x H100s, FSDP2 achieves higher MFU with 7% lower peak memory than FSDP1, matching the same loss curve.
|
|
|
|
## API Reference
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from torch.distributed._composable.fsdp import fully_shard, MixedPrecisionPolicy, OffloadPolicy
|
|
|
|
@contract(state_cls=FSDPState)
|
|
def fully_shard(
|
|
module: nn.Module,
|
|
*,
|
|
mesh: Optional[DeviceMesh] = None,
|
|
reshard_after_forward: Union[bool, int] = True,
|
|
mp_policy: MixedPrecisionPolicy = MixedPrecisionPolicy(),
|
|
offload_policy: OffloadPolicy = OffloadPolicy(),
|
|
) -> nn.Module:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sharding Strategies (ZeRO Equivalents)
|
|
|
|
| FSDP2 Configuration | FSDP1 Equivalent | DeepSpeed |
|
|
|---------------------|------------------|-----------|
|
|
| 1D mesh + `reshard_after_forward=True` | FULL_SHARD | ZeRO-3 |
|
|
| 1D mesh + `reshard_after_forward=False` | SHARD_GRAD_OP | ZeRO-2 |
|
|
| 2D mesh + `reshard_after_forward=True` | HYBRID_SHARD | MiCS |
|
|
| 1D/2D mesh + `reshard_after_forward=8` (int) | - | ZeRO++ hpZ |
|
|
|
|
## Meta-Device Initialization
|
|
|
|
FSDP2 supports materializing tensors onto GPU _after_ sharding:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Initialize on meta device (no memory)
|
|
with torch.device("meta"):
|
|
model = Transformer()
|
|
|
|
# Apply FSDP2 sharding
|
|
for module in model.modules():
|
|
if isinstance(module, TransformerBlock):
|
|
fully_shard(module)
|
|
fully_shard(model)
|
|
|
|
# Parameters still on meta device
|
|
for tensor in itertools.chain(model.parameters(), model.buffers()):
|
|
assert tensor.device == torch.device("meta")
|
|
|
|
# Allocate sharded parameters on GPU
|
|
model.to_empty(device="cuda")
|
|
|
|
# Initialize weights
|
|
model.init_weights()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## State Dict Differences
|
|
|
|
| Operation | FSDP1 | FSDP2 |
|
|
|-----------|-------|-------|
|
|
| `model.state_dict()` | Full state dict | Sharded state dict (no communication) |
|
|
| `optim.state_dict()` | Local state dict | Sharded state dict (no communication) |
|
|
| `summon_full_params()` | Supported | Use `DTensor` APIs like `full_tensor()` |
|
|
| Gradient clipping | `FSDP.clip_grad_norm_()` | `nn.utils.clip_grad_norm_()` |
|
|
|
|
## Mixed Precision
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from torch.distributed._composable.fsdp import MixedPrecisionPolicy
|
|
|
|
mp_policy = MixedPrecisionPolicy(
|
|
param_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
|
|
reduce_dtype=torch.float32,
|
|
output_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
|
|
cast_forward_inputs=True,
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
fully_shard(model, mp_policy=mp_policy)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## HSDP (Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel)
|
|
|
|
For 2D parallelism with replication + sharding:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from torch.distributed.device_mesh import init_device_mesh
|
|
|
|
# Replicate across 4 groups, shard within 8 GPUs each
|
|
mesh = init_device_mesh("cuda", (4, 8), mesh_dim_names=("replicate", "shard"))
|
|
|
|
fully_shard(model, mesh=mesh)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration in TorchTitan
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[parallelism]
|
|
# FSDP sharding degree (-1 = auto, use all available GPUs)
|
|
data_parallel_shard_degree = -1
|
|
|
|
# HSDP replication degree (1 = pure FSDP, >1 = HSDP)
|
|
data_parallel_replicate_degree = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Removed Arguments from FSDP1
|
|
|
|
These FSDP1 arguments are no longer needed:
|
|
|
|
- `auto_wrap_policy`: Apply `fully_shard` directly to modules
|
|
- `backward_prefetch`: Always uses BACKWARD_PRE
|
|
- `param_init_fn`: Use meta-device initialization
|
|
- `device_id`: Uses mesh's device automatically
|
|
- `sync_module_states`: Not needed with DTensor
|
|
- `limit_all_gathers`: New memory management doesn't need it
|
|
- `use_orig_params`: Always true (no FlatParameter)
|
