Reasoning Gym Model Training
Training codebase for training LLMs using Reasoning Gym procedural dataset generators.
Requirements
- Prepare and activate a Python 3.11 virtual environment however you prefer.
- Install Reasoning Gym:
cd reasoning-gym/
pip install -e .
- Install training-specific Python package dependencies:
pip install ray wandb
pip install torch==2.6.0
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
- Install veRL (tested with HEAD c34206925e2a50fd452e474db857b4d488f8602d):
git clone https://github.com/volcengine/verl.git
cd verl
pip install -e .
- Install vLLM:
pip install -U vllm --pre --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly
- Log in to HF and W&B:
huggingface-cli login
wandb login
Usage
First, activate the virtual environment you prepared.
Example GRPO training usage:
python3 -u train_grpo.py --config-name llama3.1_1b_grpo \
actor_rollout_ref.rollout.tensor_model_parallel_size=2 \
trainer.project_name=rg-test \
trainer.experiment_name=verl_grpo_llama3.1_1b \
trainer.n_gpus_per_node=2 $@ 2>&1 | tee verl_output.log
Then, having saved this as a bash script such as train.sh, run it:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 bash train.sh
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES is set to 0,1 to use the first two GPUs on the machine (see nvidia-smi output). This can be adjusted as needed. tensor_model_parallel_size and n_gpus_per_node should also be set to the number of GPUs you are using.
You can change all configuration options by either modifying the config YAML (in this case, config/llama3.1_1b_grpo.yaml) or providing them as arguments to the Python script. Note that the batch sizes set in the Llama 1B and Qwen 1.5B configs are as high as it was possible for me to set them for the puzzles dataset mix on 2xA6000 GPUs without OOMs. Depending on the hardware you use and the datasets you train on, you may need to adjust these.
