Model tuning in DataSphere

You can fine-tune language models enabled by Yandex Foundation Models through APIs or ML SDK to better understand the specific features of your tasks. It is convenient to run fine-tuning on Yandex DataSphere notebooks.

In this tutorial, you will fine-tune a model in DataSphere using the SDK. You can also clone the repository and run the notebook locally by changing the authentication settings.

To fine-tune a model:

1. Set up your infrastructure.
2. Create an API key for the service account.
3. Create secrets.
4. Tune the model.

If you no longer need the resources you created, delete them.

Getting startedGetting started

Before getting started, register in Yandex Cloud, set up a community, and link your billing account to it.

1. On the DataSphere home page, click Try for free and select an account to log in with: Yandex ID or your working account with the identity federation (SSO).
2. Select the Yandex Cloud Organization organization you are going to use in Yandex Cloud.
3. Create a community.
4. Link your billing account to the DataSphere community you are going to work in. Make sure you have a linked billing account and its status is ACTIVE or TRIAL_ACTIVE. If you do not have a billing account yet, create one in the DataSphere interface.

Required paid resourcesRequired paid resources

The cost of supporting the infrastructure for fine-tuning the model includes:

• Fee for DataSphere computing resource usage.
• Fee for text generation by the model.

Set up your infrastructureSet up your infrastructure

Log in to the Yandex Cloud management console and select the organization you use to access DataSphere. On the Yandex Cloud Billing page, make sure you have a billing account linked.

If you have an active billing account, you can create or select a folder to deploy your infrastructure in, on the cloud page.

Add the service account to a projectAdd the service account to a project

To allow the service account to access the model from the notebook, add it to the list of project members.

Create an API key for the service accountCreate an API key for the service account

To allow the service account to access the model, create an API key.

Create secretsCreate secrets

To get the API key and folder ID from the notebook, create secrets with the key and folder IDs.

1. Select the relevant project in your community or on the DataSphere homepage in the Recent projects tab.

2. Under Project resources, click Secret.
3. Click Create.
4. In the Name field, enter the name for the secret: API_KEY.
5. In the Value field, paste the key ID.
6. Click Create.
7. Create another secret with the FOLDER_ID.

Tune the modelTune the model

The code for fine-tuning is run from the DataSphere notebook. Fine-tuning data is stored in JSON Lines format.

1. Open the notebook with the code by following the link below:

   

2. Download the generations.jsonlines file from the GitHub repository and place it next to your notebook.

3. Install the DataSphere SDK by running the code in the notebook cell:

   %pip install yandex-cloud-ml-sdk --upgrade
   

4. Import the required libraries:

   import pathlib
   import uuid
   import os
   from __future__ import annotations
   
   from yandex_cloud_ml_sdk import YCloudML
   import urllib.request
   import zipfile   
   

5. Run TensorBoard. You will need it to view fine-tuning metrics:

   def download_tensorboard(url):
       urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "tensorboard.zip")
       with zipfile.ZipFile('tensorboard.zip', 'r') as zip_ref:
           zip_ref.extractall("tensorboard")
   

6. Upload data for model training:

   def local_path(path: str) -> pathlib.Path:
       return pathlib.Path(path)
   
   dataset_path = local_path("generations.jsonlines")
   print(dataset_path)
   
   print("Tuning dataset")
   print(dataset_path.read_text())
   

7. Create an SDK object containing the authorization parameters:

   sdk = YCloudML(
       folder_id=os.environ['FOLDER_ID'], # Folder ID stored in the DataSphere secret.
       auth=os.environ['API_KEY'] # Service account API key stored in the DataSphere secret.
   )
   

8. Create a dataset to tune and run its loading and validation:

   dataset_draft = sdk.datasets.draft_from_path(
       task_type='TextToTextGeneration',
       path=dataset_path,
       upload_format='jsonlines',
       name='test-generations'
   )
   
   dataset = dataset_draft.upload()
   print('Dataset is being loaded and validated')
   print(f'New dataset {dataset=} \n')
   

9. Select the base model you want to tune and run the tuning. In the example: YandexGPT Lite:

   base_model = sdk.models.completions('yandexgpt-lite')
   
   tuning_task = base_model.tune_deferred(
       dataset,
       name=str(uuid.uuid4()),
       n_samples=10000 
   )
   
   print(f'Tuning started {tuning_task} \n')
   
   # Tuning can last up to several hours
   # We wait until the tuning is complete and get a new model
   new_model = tuning_task.wait()
   print(f'Tuning completed, new model = {new_model} \n')
   

10. Get your fine-tuned model:

    # If you closed your notebook, you can use task_id to check the operation status.
    tuning_task = sdk.tuning.get(task_id)
    print(tuning_task.get_task_info())
    
    new_model = tuning_task.get_result()
    print({new_model})
    

11. Test your new model:

    print('Sending queries to the new model\n')
    # Examples of queries to the model
    completion_result = new_model.run("What is your name?")
    print(f'{completion_result=} \n')
    
    # You can use the fine-tuned model by specifying its URI
    tuned_uri = new_model.uri 
    model = sdk.models.completions(tuned_uri)
    
    completion_result = model.run("Where are you from?")
    print(f'{completion_result=} \n')
    

    The model will generate and return answers factoring in the fine-tuning.

12. Download tuning metrics:

    # Get the link with the data for TensorBoard and download the files
    metrics_url = new_model.get_metrics_url()
    download_tensorboard(metrics_url)
