We introduce a parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method, Principal Singular values and Singular vectors Adaptation (PiSSA), which optimizes the essential singular values and vectors while freezing the "noisy" parts. In comparison, LoRA freezes the original matrix and updates the "noise". This distinction enables PiSSA to convergence much faster than LoRA and also achieve better performance in the end. On five common benchmarks, PiSSA outperforms LoRA on all of them using exactly the same setups except for a different initialization. On GSM8K, Mistral-7B fine-tuned with PiSSA achieves an accuracy of 72.86%, outperforming LoRA's 67.7% by 5.16%. Due to the same architecture, PiSSA inherits many of LoRA's advantages, such as parameter efficiency and compatibility with quantization. Furthermore, PiSSA reduces the 4-bit quantization error in LLaMA 2-7B by 18.97%, resulting in a substantial improvement in fine-tuning performance. On the GSM8K benchmark, PiSSA achieves an accuracy of 49.13%, surpassing the performances of QLoRA at 39.8% and LoftQ at 40.71%. Leveraging a fast SVD technique, the initialization of PiSSA takes only a few seconds, inducing negligible cost of switching LoRA to PiSSA.
- [2024.07.17] PiSSA now support Conv2d and Embedding, here is an example for using PiSSA on SDXL.
- [2024.07.16] PiSSA now support deepspeed.
- [2024.05.16] PiSSA has been merged into the main branch of peft as an optional initialization method for LoRA.
Install PiSSA via pip:
conda create -n pissa python=3.10
conda activate pissa
conda install nvidia/label/cuda-12.1.0::cuda-toolkit
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=12.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
All the datasets we used are publicly available at Dataset.
The PiSSA-initialized models are shared on Models for easy reuse. They retain the same input and output as the original models but are split into residual models and PiSSA adapters for more effective fine-tuning.

Running the following script will automatically download the dataset and model, then start training:
sh scripts/run_full_finetune.sh
sh scripts/lora.sh
sh scripts/pissa.sh
sh scripts/loftq.sh
sh scripts/qlora.sh
sh scripts/qpissa.sh
To evaluate the performance of your fine-tuned model, please follow the instructions in fxmeng/pissa-evaluation-code.
We recommend downloading decomposed models directly from the Hugging Face Collections instead of performing SVD every time. If the existing models do not meet your needs, apply PiSSA initialization to a pre-trained model and store the decomposed model locally:
import torch
import os
from peft import LoraConfig, get_peft_model
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
MODEL_ID = "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
tokenizer.pad_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
lora_config = LoraConfig(
# init_lora_weights="pissa", # Configure the initialization method to "pissa", which may take several minutes to execute SVD on the pre-trained model.
init_lora_weights="pissa_niter_4", # Initialize the PiSSA with fast SVD, which completes in just a few seconds.
r=128,
lora_alpha=128,
lora_dropout=0, # Since the component of the PiSSA adapter are the principal singular values and vectors, dropout should be set to 0 to avoid random discarding.
target_modules=["q_proj", "o_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "gate_proj", "up_proj", "down_proj"],
task_type="CAUSAL_LM",
)
peft_model = get_peft_model(model, lora_config)
peft_model.print_trainable_parameters()
OUTPUT_DIR="PiSSA-Llama-2-7b-hf-r128"
# Save PiSSA modules:
peft_model.peft_config["default"].init_lora_weights = True # Important
peft_model.save_pretrained(os.path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, "pissa_init"))
# Save residual model:
peft_model = peft_model.unload()
peft_model.save_pretrained(OUTPUT_DIR)
# Save the tokenizer:
tokenizer.save_pretrained(OUTPUT_DIR)Load a pre-processed model and finetune it on IMDB dataset:
from trl import SFTTrainer
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from peft import PeftModel
MODEL_ID = "PiSSA-Llama-2-7b-hf-r128"
residual_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID,device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(residual_model, MODEL_ID, subfolder = "pissa_init", is_trainable=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
dataset = load_dataset("imdb", split="train[:1%]") # Only use 1% of the dataset
trainer = SFTTrainer(
model=peft_model,
train_dataset=dataset,
dataset_text_field="text",
max_seq_length=128,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
)
trainer.train()
peft_model.save_pretrained("pissa-llama-2-7b-ft")When using peft_model.save_pretrained, if path_initial_model_for_weight_conversion=None, the fine-tuned matrices path_initial_model_for_weight_conversion="pissa_init_dir", the saving function converts PiSSA to LoRA by
import torch
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto"
)
# No SVD is performed during this step, and the base model remains unaltered.
peft_model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "pissa-llama-2-7b-lora")Utilizing the converted LoRA does not require modifying the parameters of the base model. When multiple converted LoRAs are needed simultaneously, each adapter operates independently without interference, allowing for the adapters to be freely deleted or added.
