Request GPU Quotas in Azure Subscription

In this tutorial, you will learn how to fine-tune and deploy a Phi-3 model, using GPUs. For fine-tuning, you will use the Standard_NC6s_v3 GPU, which requires a quota request. For deployment, you will use the Standard_E4s_v3 CPU, which does not require a quota request.

 Note

Only Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions (the standard subscription type) are eligible for GPU allocation; benefit subscriptions are not currently supported.

For those using benefit subscriptions (such as Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription) or those looking to quickly test the fine-tuning and deployment process, this tutorial also provides guidance for fine-tuning with a minimal dataset using a CPU. However, it is important to note that fine-tuning results are significantly better when using a GPU with larger datasets.

In this exercise, you will:

Request GPU Quotas in your Azure Subscription

 Tip

Guidance for fine-tuning with a minimal dataset using a CPU

If you want to use a CPU for fine-tuning, this approach is ideal for those with benefit subscriptions (such as Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription) or to quickly test the fine-tuning and deployment process.

Replace dataset = load_and_split_dataset(“wikitext”, ‘wikitext-2-v1’, ‘train[:1%]’) with dataset = load_and_split_dataset(“wikitext”, ‘wikitext-2-v1’, ‘train[:10]’)

Type the following command inside your terminal to run the script and download the dataset to your local environment.

python download_data.py

Verify that the datasets were saved successfully to your local finetune-phi/data directory.

 Note

Note on dataset size and fine-tuning time

In this tutorial, you use only 1% of the dataset (split=’train[:1%]’). This significantly reduces the amount of data, speeding up both the upload and fine-tuning processes. You can adjust the percentage to find the right balance between training time and model performance. Using a smaller subset of the dataset reduces the time required for fine-tuning, making the process more manageable for a tutorial.

Fine-Tune the Phi-3 Model

In this exercise, you will fine-tune the Phi-3 model using the provided dataset. First, you will define the fine-tuning process in the fine_tune.py file. Then, you will configure the Azure Machine Learning environment and initiate the fine-tuning process by running the setup_ml.py file. This script ensures that the fine-tuning occurs within the Azure Machine Learning environment.

By running setup_ml.py, you will run the fine-tuning process in the Azure Machine Learning environment.

In this exercise, you will:

Set up Azure CLI to authenticate environment
Add code to the fine_tune.py file to fine-tune the model.
Add code to and run the setup_ml.py file to initiate the fine-tuning process in Azure Machine Learning.
Run the setup_ml.py file to fine-tune the Phi-3 model using Azure Machine Learning.

Set up Azure CLI

You need to set up Azure CLI to authenticate your environment. Azure CLI allows you to manage Azure resources directly from the command line and provides the credentials necessary for Azure Machine Learning to access these resources. To get started install Azure CLI

 Tip

Guidance for fine-tuning with a minimal dataset using a CPU

If you want to use a CPU for fine-tuning, this approach is ideal for those with benefit subscriptions (such as Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription) or to quickly test the fine-tuning and deployment process.

Open the conda.yml file.
Delete torchvision~=0.18 as it is only compatible with GPU environments.
Open the setup_ml file.
Replace COMPUTE_INSTANCE_TYPE, COMPUTE_NAME, and DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME with the following. If you do not have access to Standard_E16s_v3, you can use an equivalent CPU instance or request a new quota.
 Replace LOCATION with your specific details.

# Uncomment the following lines to use a CPU instance for training
COMPUTE_INSTANCE_TYPE = “Standard_E16s_v3” # cpu
COMPUTE_NAME = “cpu-e16s-v3”
DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME = “mcr.microsoft.com/azureml/openmpi4.1.0-ubuntu20.04:latest”
CONDA_FILE = “conda.yml”
LOCATION = “eastus2” # Replace with the location of your compute cluster

Type the following command to run the setup_ml.py script and start the fine-tuning process in Azure Machine Learning.

python setup_ml.py

In this exercise, you successfully fine-tuned the Phi-3 model using Azure Machine Learning. By running the setup_ml.py script, you have set up the Azure Machine Learning environment and initiated the fine-tuning process defined in fine_tune.py file. Please note that the fine-tuning process can take a considerable amount of time. After running the python setup_ml.py command, you need to wait for the process to complete. You can monitor the status of the fine-tuning job by following the link provided in the terminal to the Azure Machine Learning portal. In the next series, you will deploy the fine-tuned model and integrate it with Prompt Flow.

Deploy the fine-tuned model

To integrate the fine-tuned Phi-3 model with Prompt Flow, you need to deploy the model to make it accessible for real-time inference. This process involves registering the model, creating an online endpoint, and deploying the model.

In this exercise, you will:

Set the model name, endpoint name, and deployment name for deployment.
Register the fine-tuned model in the Azure Machine Learning workspace.
Create an online endpoint.
Deploy the registered fine-tuned Phi-3 model.

Set the model name, endpoint name, and deployment name for deployment

Open config.py file.

Replace AZURE_MODEL_NAME = “your_fine_tuned_model_name” with the desired name for your model.

Replace AZURE_ENDPOINT_NAME = “your_fine_tuned_model_endpoint_name” with the desired name for your endpoint.

Replace AZURE_DEPLOYMENT_NAME = “your_fine_tuned_model_deployment_name” with the desired name for your deployment.

Deploy the fine-tuned model

Running the deploy_model.py file automates the entire deployment process. It registers the model, creates an endpoint, and executes the deployment based on the settings specified in the config.py file, which includes the model name, endpoint name, and deployment name.

Open the deploy_model.py file in Visual Studio Code.

Add the following code into deploy_model.py.
