⭐ Key Features

• All kernels written in OpenAI's Triton language. Manual backprop engine.
• 0% loss in accuracy - no approximation methods - all exact.
• No change of hardware. Supports NVIDIA GPUs since 2018+. Minimum CUDA Capability 7.0 (V100, T4, Titan V, RTX 20, 30, 40x, A100, H100, L40 etc) Check your GPU! GTX 1070, 1080 works, but is slow.
• Works on Linux and Windows via WSL.
• Supports 4bit and 16bit QLoRA / LoRA finetuning via bitsandbytes.
• Open source trains 5x faster - see Unsloth Pro for up to 30x faster training!
• If you trained a model with 🦥Unsloth, you can use this cool sticker!

💾 Installation Instructions

For stable releases, use pip install unsloth. We recommend pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git" for most installations though.

Conda Installation

⚠️Only use Conda if you have it. If not, use Pip. Select either pytorch-cuda=11.8,12.1 for CUDA 11.8 or CUDA 12.1. We support python=3.10,3.11,3.12.

conda create --name unsloth_env \
    python=3.11 \
    pytorch-cuda=12.1 \
    pytorch cudatoolkit xformers -c pytorch -c nvidia -c xformers \
    -y
conda activate unsloth_env

pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install --no-deps trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes

Pip Installation

⚠️Do **NOT** use this if you have Conda. Pip is a bit more complex since there are dependency issues. The pip command is different for torch 2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5 and CUDA versions.

For other torch versions, we support torch211, torch212, torch220, torch230, torch240 and for CUDA versions, we support cu118 and cu121 and cu124. For Ampere devices (A100, H100, RTX3090) and above, use cu118-ampere or cu121-ampere or cu124-ampere.

For example, if you have torch 2.4 and CUDA 12.1, use:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

Another example, if you have torch 2.5 and CUDA 12.4, use:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "unsloth[cu124-torch250] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

And other examples:

pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch250] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu124-ampere-torch250] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

Or, run the below in a terminal to get the optimal pip installation command:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/unsloth/_auto_install.py | python -

Or, run the below manually in a Python REPL:

try: import torch
except: raise ImportError('Install torch via `pip install torch`')
from packaging.version import Version as V
v = V(torch.__version__)
cuda = str(torch.version.cuda)
is_ampere = torch.cuda.get_device_capability()[0] >= 8
if cuda != "12.1" and cuda != "11.8" and cuda != "12.4": raise RuntimeError(f"CUDA = {cuda} not supported!")
if   v <= V('2.1.0'): raise RuntimeError(f"Torch = {v} too old!")
elif v <= V('2.1.1'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch211'
elif v <= V('2.1.2'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch212'
elif v  < V('2.3.0'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch220'
elif v  < V('2.4.0'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch230'
elif v  < V('2.5.0'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch240'
elif v  < V('2.6.0'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch250'
else: raise RuntimeError(f"Torch = {v} too new!")
x = x.format(cuda.replace(".", ""), "-ampere" if is_ampere else "")
print(f'pip install --upgrade pip && pip install "unsloth[{x}] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"')

Windows Installation

To run Unsloth directly on Windows:

• Install Triton from this Windows fork and follow the instructions: https://github.com/woct0rdho/triton-windows
• In the SFTTrainer, set dataset_num_proc=1 to avoid a crashing issue:

  trainer = SFTTrainer(
  dataset_num_proc=1,
  ...
  )

For advanced installation instructions or if you see weird errors during installations:

1. Install torch and triton. Go to https://pytorch.org to install it. For example pip install torch torchvision torchaudio triton
2. Confirm if CUDA is installated correctly. Try nvcc. If that fails, you need to install cudatoolkit or CUDA drivers.
3. Install xformers manually. You can try installing vllm and seeing if vllm succeeds. Check if xformers succeeded with python -m xformers.info Go to https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers. Another option is to install flash-attn for Ampere GPUs.
4. Finally, install bitsandbytes and check it with python -m bitsandbytes
