Questions on large model inference / finetuning

[kalyani7195]

Hi @muellerzr !
I am trying to run Llama 8b model on gpu-a40s using accelerate. I want to first evaluate the model and then add a few trainable parameters and train them. Since the llama 8b checkpoint cannot fit on a single gpu-a40 I am using fsdp configuration. (is it the correct choice?)
when I run accelerate launch the code enters the following method from utils/fsdp_utils.py --

def load_fsdp_model(fsdp_plugin, accelerator, model, input_dir, model_index=0, adapter_only=False):

and then raises the following error:
I went through the documentations -- https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/en/usage_guides/distributed_inference
as well as https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/en/usage_guides/fsdp -- am I missing something here? any help/documentation/tutorial on how to run/finetune/train large models where GPU memory is not sufficient and uses some sort of model sharding using accelerate would be really helpful!!!
Thanks,
Kalyani
