LLaMA-Factory

About / Introduction

LLaMA-Factory is an easy-to-use and efficient platform for training and fine-tuning large language models. With LLaMA-Factory, you can fine-tune hundreds of pre-trained models locally without writing any code.

LLaMA-Facotory users need to evaluate and inference the model after fine-tuning the model.

The Business Challenge

LLaMA-Factory used transformers to perform inference on Ascend NPU, but the speed was slow.

Solving Challenges and Benefits with vLLM Ascend

With the joint efforts of LLaMA-Factory and vLLM Ascend (LLaMA-Factory#7739), the performance of LLaMA-Factory in the model inference stage has been significantly improved. According to the test results, the inference speed of LLaMA-Factory has been increased to 2x compared to the transformers version.
