# RLHF - ColossalAI

Implementation of RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) powered by ColossalAI. It supports distributed training and offloading, which can fit extremly large models.

## Install
```shell
pip install .
```


## Usage

The main entrypoint is `Trainer`. We only support PPO trainer now. We support many training strategies:

- NaiveStrategy: simplest strategy. Train on single GPU.
- DDPStrategy: use `torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel`. Train on multi GPUs.
- ColossalAIStrategy: use Gemini and Zero of ColossalAI. It eliminates model duplication on each GPU and supports offload. It's very useful when training large models on multi GPUs.

Simplest usage:

```python
from chatgpt.trainer import PPOTrainer
from chatgpt.trainer.strategies import ColossalAIStrategy

strategy = ColossalAIStrategy()

with strategy.model_init_context():
  # init your model here
  actor = Actor()
  critic = Critic()

trainer = PPOTrainer(actor = actor, critic= critic, strategy, ...)

trainer.fit(dataset, ...)
```

For more details, see `examples/`.

We also support training reward model with true-world data. See `examples/train_reward_model.py`.
