Currently, each `TransformerBackend.inference_step` looks for adapters and sets the correct adapter type for each block. This is not very expensive, but it can measurably affect inference time.
This pull request uses faster adapter switching with just one variable assignment, without iterating over block.modules().
We want to use `3.10.x` since `grpcio-tools` is not compatible with 3.11 yet. However, `python~=3.10` meant `python>=3.10, python<4.0`, so we ended up with a broken build due to python 3.11 installed.
Implement an option to deploy PEFT adapters to a server. Clients can set active_adapter=... to use these adapters.

Before this PR, `free_disk_space_for()` was able to remove **(a)** only entire cached revisions (= git commits/branches) and **(b)** only from the repository we're loading right now.
This PR allows this functions to remove arbitrary files separately from any repositories.
This is useful for transition to Petals 1.2.0+, since it now uses original repos instead of the ones with converted models (see #323). In particular, the cache for `bigscience/bloom-petals` is now deprecated and should be removed in favor of `bigscience/bloom`. This is also useful as a way to free space before loading LoRA adapters (#335).
This PR:
- Adds benchmark scripts for inference, forward pass, and full training step (e.g. used for experiments in our paper).
- Fixes bug with dtypes in `petals.DistributedBloomForSequenceClassification`.
- (minor refactor) Moves `DTYPE_MAP` to `petals.constants` as a useful constant.
This PR adds `petals.AutoDistributed{Model, ModelForCausalLM, ModelForSequenceClassification}` classes, similar to their `transformers.Auto{Model, ModelForCausalLM, ModelForSequenceClassification}` counterparts.
This PR:
1. **Abolishes the model conversion procedure.** Now, models are downloaded directly from original repositories like https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom. Servers download only shards with blocks to be hosted, and clients download only shards with input/output embeddings and layernorms.
- BLOOM is loaded from `bigscience/bloom`, but we use the DHT prefix `bigscience/bloom-petals` for backward compatibility. Same with smaller BLOOMs and BLOOMZ.
- LLaMA can be loaded from any repo like `username/llama-65b-hf`, but we use the DHT prefix `llama-65b-hf` (without the username) to accomodate blocks from different repos (there're a few of them with minor differences, such as `Llama` vs. `LLaMA` in the class name).
2. **Refactors the client to generalize it for multiple models.** Now, we have `petals.models` packages that contain model-specific code (e.g. `petals.models.bloom`, `petals.models.llama`). General code (e.g. CPU-efficient LM head, p-tuning) is kept in `petals.client`.
3. **Introduces** `WrappedLlamaBlock`, `DistributedLlamaConfig`, `DistributedLlamaForCausalLM`, `DistributedLlamaForSequenceClassification`, and `DistributedLlamaModel` compatible with Petals functionality (p-tuning, adapters, etc.).
4. **Introduces** `AutoDistributedConfig` that automatically chooses the correct config class (`DistributedLlamaConfig` or `DistributedBloomConfig`). The refactored configs contain all model-specific info for both clients and servers.
Upgrade instructions:
- Remove disk caches for blocks in old (converted) format to save disk space. That is, remove `~/.cache/petals/model--bigscience--bloom-petals` and `~/.cache/petals/model--bigscience--bloomz-petals` directories (if present).
Now, if a user passes unexpected kwargs to `.generate()`, they are __ignored__ and the code continues working as if the argument was correctly supported. For example, people often tried passing `repetition_penalty` and didn't notice that it does not have any effect. This PR fixes this problem.
We need to sample the next server using its throughput as the weight to actually achieve max throughput for fine-tuning.
As an example, imagine a situation where we have 3 servers with throughputs [1000, 500, 1] hosting the same blocks, then compare the uniform and weighted sampling strategies.
This PR:
1. **Extracts `SequenceManagerConfig` and `SequenceManagerState` subclasses.**
The config is provided by caller and never changed from inside `RemoteSequenceManager`. The state is a part of the `RemoteSequenceManager`'s state shared between the main manager and its slices. We fix some slicing bugs along the way.
2. **Removes `dht_prefix` and `p2p` arguments, makes `dht` argument optional.**
`dht_prefix` can always be overridden using `config.dht_prefix`. `p2p` actually needed only under the hood of `RemoteSequenceManager`, so it can extract it by itself without exposing this low-level class to callers. If strictly necessary, a caller can provide `p2p` as a part of `SequenceManagerState`. `dht` is also needed only by `RemoteSequenceManager`, so we can make it optional in the parent classes and create it automatically when it's not provided.
3. **Simplifies retry logic.**
Previously, we could have "nested" retry loops: one in `._update()`, another in inference/forward/backward steps. The loop in `._update()` could introduce issues to concurrent inference/forward/backward calls, since it blocks the entire class if its delay period becomes too high. Now this logic is simplified: `._update()` performs only one attempt to fetch the DHT info, any retries are triggered by the inference/forward/backward steps.
4. **Removes deprecated `RemoteTransformerBlock`.**
`RemoteTransformerBlock` was deprecated a long time ago, before Petals 1.0.0. Its removal is long due.
5. **Removes `dht_utils.get_remote_module()`, `dht_utils.get_remote_sequence()`.**
This functions duplicate the functionality of the `RemoteSequential` constructor.
6. (minor) **Removes `RemoteSequential.is_subsequence` flag.**
This flag worked incorrectly and was never used. I am removing it for the sake of simplicity.
- After #285, `load_pretrained_block()` uses `accelerate.utils.set_module_tensor_to_device()`
- In accelerate>=0.16.0, it saves the tensor in the dtype previously used by the model instead of dtype of the weights (https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/pull/920)
- Because of that, blocks and attention caches used float32, which caused OOMs
- This PR makes `load_pretrained_block()` respect `torch_dtype` (default: `"auto"`, which means reading `torch_dtype` from `config.json`)
**Why?**
- We'd like to avoid excess threads for the original sequence manager in case if we only use its slices (e.g. when we add adapters or need only a subset of model blocks):
- If we create a sequence manager just before a fork (e.g. in a web app backend or a multi-thread benchmark), we'd like to avoid excess threads in the original process and only use this thread in child processes where we actually call `.make_sequence()`.
`use_auto_relay=True` makes the libp2p daemon look for relays to become reachable if we are behind NAT/firewall. However, being reachable is not necessary for the Petals client, and we should not spend the relays' capacity on this.
This PR fixes issues of #290:
- hivemind bfloat16 codec crashed on dummy tensors (with 0 elements), see https://github.com/learning-at-home/hivemind/pull/560 (this PR makes Petals depend on the latest hivemind version from the repo, it's temporary)
- transformers version check mismatched with the version allowed in `setup.cfg`
Also:
- This PR enables 8-bit by default for TP. Even though TP in 8-bit may be slower, we currently prefer to host more blocks to increase the network's stability.
- new bitsandbytes supports newer *and* older GPUs
- new hivemind supports a better bfloat16 codec
