If you want to enable the quantized LoRA (QLoRA) on the Windows platform, you need to install a pre-built version of bitsandbytes library, which supports CUDA 11.1 to 12.2, please select the appropriate release version based on your CUDA version.

pip install https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/releases/download/wheels/bitsandbytes-0.41.2.post2-py3-none-win_amd64.whl

To enable FlashAttention-2 on the Windows platform, you need to install the precompiled flash-attn library, which supports CUDA 12.1 to 12.2. Please download the corresponding version from flash-attention based on your requirements.

To install LLaMA Factory on Ascend NPU devices, please specify extra dependencies: pip install -e ".[torch-npu,metrics]". Additionally, you need to install the Ascend CANN Toolkit and Kernels. Please follow the installation tutorial or use the following commands:

# replace the url according to your CANN version and devices
# install CANN Toolkit
wget https://ascend-repo.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/Milan-ASL/Milan-ASL%20V100R001C17SPC701/Ascend-cann-toolkit_8.0.RC1.alpha001_linux-"$(uname -i)".run
bash Ascend-cann-toolkit_8.0.RC1.alpha001_linux-"$(uname -i)".run --install

# install CANN Kernels

bash Ascend-cann-kernels-910b_8.0.RC1.alpha001_linux.run --install

# set env variables
source /usr/local/Ascend/ascend-toolkit/set_env.sh

Remember to use ASCEND_RT_VISIBLE_DEVICES instead of CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to specify the device to use.

If you cannot infer model on NPU devices, try setting do_sample: false in the configurations.
