# Introduction
CSMPT7b is a large Czech language model continously pretrained on 272b training tokens from English [MPT7b](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-7b) model. Model was pretrained on ~67b token [Large Czech Collection](https://huggingface.co/datasets/BUT-FIT/but_lcc) using Czech tokenizer, obtained using our vocabulary swap method (see below).
Training was done on [Karolina](https://www.it4i.cz/en) cluster.

# Evaluation
Dev eval at CS-HellaSwag (automatically translated HellaSwag benchmark).
| Model | CS-HellaSwag Accuracy |
|---------------|----------------|
| mistral7b | 0.4992 |
| csmpt@130k steps [released] | __0.5004__ |
| csmpt@100k steps | 0.4959 |
| csmpt@75k steps | 0.4895 |
| csmpt@50k steps | 0.4755 |
| csmpt@26,5k steps | 0.4524 |
However, we ran validation over the course of training on CS-Hellaswag, and after 100k steps, the improvements were very noisy if any.
The improvement over mistral7b is not significant.
We will release more evaluations together with our benchmark **BenCzechMark** soon (see release plan!).
## Loss
We encountered loss spikes during training. As the model always recovered, and our budget for training 7b model was very constrained, we kept on training. We observed such loss spikes before in our ablations. In these ablations (with GPT-2 small), we found these to be
- (a) influenced by learning rate, the lower the learning rate, less they appear, as it gets higher, they start to appear, and with too high learning rate, the training might diverge on such loss spike.
- (b) in preliminary ablations, they only appear for continuously pretrained models. While we do not know why do they appear, we hypothesize this might be linked to theory on [Adam instability in time-domain correlation of update vectors](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.09871.pdf). However
such instabilities were previously observed only for much larger models (larger than 65b).
### Corpora
The model was trained on 3 corpora, which were hot-swapped during the training. These were collected/filtered during the course of training.
- Corpus #1 was the same we used for our [Czech GPT-2](https://huggingface.co/BUT-FIT/Czech-GPT-2-XL-133k) training (15,621,685,248 tokens).
- Corpus #2 contained 67,981,934,592 tokens, coming mostly from HPLT and CulturaX corpora.
- Corpus #3 (with 66,035,515,392 tokens) is Corpus #2 after we removed proportions of the unappropriate content (which avoided our other checks) through linear classifier.

Figure 2: Training loss closeup. We mark two hotswap places, where the training corpus #1 was switched for internal-corpus #2 and internal-corpus #2.1 respectively. The flat region between 112k steps and 119.5k steps is caused by missing data---due to an accident, we lost these logs.
In Figure 3 (but also marked in Figure 2), we perform two ablations:
- (a) After first hot swap, we continued training on the corpus #1 for a while. Result: The fact that test loss is slightly better, signifies the slight difference between distribution of corpus #1 and corpus #2.
- (b) On step 94,000, the training loss stopped decreasing, increased, and around step 120,000 (near hot swap #2) started decreasing again. To ablate whether this was an effect of hot-swap, we resume training from step 93,000 using corpus #3.The optimizer states were reinitialized. Result: Neither corpus #3, nor optimizier state reinitialization seems to mitigate the issue of local divergence at step 94,000.

## Training Method
### Vocabulary Swap
To transfer knowledge from English model to Czech, we developed a simple method that (i) aligns several tokens between two vocabularies and (ii) copies the embeddings from original language to new language.

Figure 4: Test perplexity over the course of training for vocabulary swap (swapping 1.7K tokens) method on TinyLLAMA. Our method (green curve) vs TinyLLAMA training from scratch (blue curve).
The vocabulary swap was done the same way as our [Czech-GPT-2](https://huggingface.co/BUT-FIT/Czech-GPT-2-XL-133k) model (check it out for comprehensive description.)
For CSMPT7b, we managed to align 4,177 english tokens with corresponding czech tokens.
## Hyperparameters
Not mentioned hyperparameters were kept the same as for MPT.

|----------------------------|---------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| training sw | llm-foundry | We've done some minor patching (e.g., to allow DDP sync over file) |
| dataset_type | Concat | Sequences at the model's input were concatenated up to `$max_seq_len`, divided by EOS token. |
| tokenizer_size | 64k | Same as in [Czech-GPT-2](https://huggingface.co/BUT-FIT/Czech-GPT-2-XL-133k) |
| max_seq_len | 2048 | |
| batch_size | 1024 | |

| optimizer_weight_decay | 0 | |
| optimizer_eps | 1.0e-08 | |
| gradient_clipping_max_norm | 1.0 | |
| attn_impl | flash2 | we used triton flash-attn 1 implementation for initial ~60k steps |
| positional_encoding | alibi | |
| fsdp | FULL_SHARD | (we had implementation issues with hybrid sharding in llm-foundry) |
| precision | bf16 | |
| scheduler | cosine | |
| scheduler_warmup | 100 steps | |
| scheduler_steps | 170,000 | |
| scheduler_alpha | 0.1 | So LR on last step is 0.1*(vanilla LR) |
