InstructLab on Red Hat OpenShift AI

This repo will serve as the central location for the code, Containerfiles and yamls needed to deploy Instructlab onto an OpenShift cluster with Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI). This project leverages a number of the tools included with RHOAI working together to run InstructLab. Specifically, Data Science Pipelines for application orchestration, Kserve Serving for model serving, and the Distributed Training Operator to run our model training across multiple GPU enabled nodes.

Getting Started

This project makes running the InstructLab large language model (LLM) fine-tuning process easy and flexible on OpenShift. However, before getting started there are a few prerequisites and additional setup steps that needs to be completed.

Cluster Requirements

Operators:

The following Operators must be installed on your OpenShift cluster:

Training operator

Within the DataScienceCluster definition the following must be defined and set to managed under Spec -> Components.

oc edit dsc
      trainingoperator:
        managementState: Managed

To verify the PytorchJob is available in the cluster run the following.

oc get pytorchjob

If an error is shown PyTorch is not available in cluster.

Object Storage:

Once the above operators have been successfully installed, you will need to set up object storage for your models and pipeline artifacts. This solution requires object storage to be in place through S3 compatible storage such as Noobaa.

  1. If using Noobaa, apply the following tuning paramters.
  2. Create an Object Bucket Claim in your namespace. This will serve as the artifact store for your Data Science Pipeline.

Configure Data Science Pipeline Server:

From within the RHOAI dashboard, navigate to the "Data Science Pipelines" page and click "Configure pipeline server". This will present you with a form where you can upload the credentials for the S3 bucket you created in the previous step.

Accelerator Profile:

An accelerator profile must also be defined within the RHOAI dashboard or via CLI to enable GPU acceleration for model serving with Kserve Serving.

apiVersion: v1
items:
- apiVersion: dashboard.opendatahub.io/v1
  kind: AcceleratorProfile
  metadata:
    name: gpu
    namespace: redhat-ods-applications
  spec:
    displayName: gpu
    enabled: true
    identifier: nvidia.com/gpu
    tolerations: []

Signed Certificate:

A signed certificate ensures that there are not any unnecessary issues when running the training pipeline.

To deploy a signed certificate in your cluster follow trusted cluster cert documentation.

Teacher and Judge Models:

In addition to model training, InstructLab also performs Synthetic Data Generation (SDG) and Model Evaluation. In both cases another LLM is required to complete these steps. Since these models do not change frequently, we recommend serving them independent of the specific InstructLab pipeline. This allows these these models to be used as a shared resources across the organization.

  1. Deploy the Teacher Model following these instructions.
  2. Deploy the Judge Model following these instructions.

Once these two model servers are deployed, we need to add the following configmaps and secrets to our namespace so that the InstructLab pipeline can successfully communicate with each model.

kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: teacher-server
data:
  endpoint: '<YOUR_MIXTRAL_MODEL_ENDPOINT>'
  model: mixtral
  ca.crt: |  # If using TLS
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <TLS Certificate to Teacher Model>
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
kind: Secret
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: teacher-server
data:
  api_key: <YOUR_MIXTRAL_API_KEY>
type: Opaque
kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: judge-server
data:
  endpoint: '<YOUR_PROMETHEUS_MODEL_ENDPOINT>'
  model: prometheus
  ca.crt: |  # If using TLS
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <TLS Certificate to Judge Model>
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
kind: Secret
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: judge-server
data:
  api_key: <YOUR_PROMETHEUS_API_KEY>
type: Opaque

NOTE: You can find and copy the certs needed for the teacher- and judge-server ConfigMaps in another ConfigMap, kube-root-ca.crt, found in the same namespace as the hosted model

Run the Pipeline

Now that all the cluster requirements have been setup, we are ready to upload and run our InstructLab pipeline!

Upload the Pipeline:

Now we can go back to our RHOAI Data Science Pipelines dashboard and select "Import pipeline". We recommend importing the pipeline yaml directly from the github repo using: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opendatahub-io/ilab-on-ocp/refs/heads/main/pipeline.yaml

Create a Run:

Once the pipeline is uploaded we will be able to select "Create run" from the "Actions" dropdown. This will present us with a number of parameters we can set to customize our run. Click "Create run" at the bottom of the page to kick off your InstructLab pipeline.

Available Pipeline Parameters:

Parameter Definition
sdg_repo_url SDG parameter. Points to a taxonomy git repository
sdg_repo_branch SDG parameter. Points to a branch within the taxonomy git repository. If set, has priority over sdg_repo_pr
sdg_repo_pr SDG parameter. Points to a pull request against the taxonomy git repository
sdg_base_model SDG parameter. LLM model used to generate the synthetic dataset
sdg_scale_factor SDG parameter. The total number of instructions to be generated
sdg_pipeline SDG parameter. Data generation pipeline to use. Available: 'simple', 'full', or a valid path to a directory of pipeline workflow YAML files. Note that 'full' requires a larger teacher model, Mixtral-8x7b.
sdg_max_batch_len SDG parameter. Maximum tokens per gpu for each batch that will be handled in a single step.

Customize the Pipeline

The pipeline.yaml provided in this repo will always represent the most up to date version of the pipeline as our team continues to improve upon it as well as keep it in line with the InstructLab CLI. However, if you are a contributor or simply want to experiment with making custom changes to the pipeline that can be done by simply editing and "compiling" the pipeline.py file provided in this repo.

The pipeline yaml is defined by pipeline.py file and then converted into an intermediate representation yaml that Data Science Pipelines expects via the KubeFlow Pipelines python SDK. If you want to customize the pipeline in anyway, you can update pipeline.py, run the below make command and then upload the pipeline to your Data Science Pipeline instance similar to how we showed above.

make pipeline
