Motivation

Since only the config for deepseek-v2-lite training is provided, we found after running LlamaForEagle3 that it does not support yarn position encoding. Therefore, I added adaptation for yarn position encoding and trained Deepseek-v2-lite using the test data online.

Summary of Changes

Hello @jiapingW, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces comprehensive support for online training of the DeepSeek-V2-Lite model with the Eagle3 architecture. It addresses the previous lack of YARN (Yet another RoPE N-dimensional) position encoding support by integrating the YARN rotary embedding method and providing a dedicated script to facilitate this training process.

Highlights

  • YARN RoPE Implementation: Implemented the LlamaYarnRotaryEmbedding class and associated helper functions in specforge/modeling/draft/llama3_eagle.py to enable YARN (Yet another RoPE N-dimensional) position encoding.
  • YARN Integration: Modified the LlamaAttention module to dynamically select and apply the newly implemented YARN rotary embedding based on configuration, ensuring compatibility with DeepSeek-V2-Lite.
  • DeepSeek-V2-Lite Online Training Script: Introduced a new shell script (examples/run_deepseek_v2_lite_eagle3_online.sh) to streamline the online training process for DeepSeek-V2-Lite using the Eagle3 architecture and the updated YARN configuration.
  • Configuration Update: Updated the configs/deepseek-v2-lite-eagle3.json file to correctly specify "rope_type": "yarn", aligning with the new YARN implementation.

Code Review

This pull request adds support for YaRN rope scaling to enable online training for deepseek-v2-lite. The changes include a new LlamaYarnRotaryEmbedding class with its helper functions, updates to the model configuration to use YaRN, and a new example script for training. The implementation of YaRN appears correct. I have a couple of minor suggestions to improve code style and adherence to conventions.

It's a good practice for text files, including shell scripts, to end with a newline character. This prevents potential issues with file concatenation and some command-line tools. Please add a newline at the end of this file.

The function parameters min and max shadow Python's built-in functions. While it doesn't cause an issue in this specific function, it's a bad practice that can lead to subtle bugs if the built-in functions were needed. It's recommended to use alternative names like min_val and max_val to avoid shadowing.1

if min == max:
max += 0.001 # Prevent singularity
linear_func = (torch.arange(dim, dtype=torch.float32) - min) / (max - min)
ramp_func = torch.clamp(linear_func, 0, 1)

ramp_func = torch.clamp(linear_func, 0, 1)
return ramp_func

Hello, does the use of yarn rotation position encoding improve the accuracy of eagle3 compared to not using any rotation position encoding?

I trained DeepSeek-v2-Lite on ShareGPT for one epoch using YARN. The accuracy for position 1 was 0.36. I didn't use the standard rope for training. Due to limited resources, I couldn't train with a long context. I think using rope and YARN shouldn't significantly impact training performance unless you're training with very long inputs.
