DisLLM Split GPT-2 Model

This repository contains a split GPT-2 model trained using federated learning with LoRA fine-tuning.

Model Architecture

• Base Model: GPT-2 Small (124M parameters)
• Fine-tuning Method: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
• Trainable Parameters: ~1.7M
• Split Configuration:
  • First Part (Client): 4 transformer blocks
  • Second Part (Server): 8 transformer blocks

Files

• central_trained_first_part_20251210_162256.pth: Client-side model (first 4 layers)
• central_trained_second_part_20251210_162256.pth: Server-side model (remaining 8 layers)

Training Details

• Dataset: WikiText-2
• Training Method: Federated Learning with Split Learning
• Context Length: 1024 tokens
• Batch Size: 2
• Learning Rate: 1e-6

Usage

import torch
from transformers import GPT2Config

# Load the model parts
first_part = torch.load('central_trained_first_part_20251210_162256.pth')
second_part = torch.load('central_trained_second_part_20251210_162256.pth')

# Use with the DisLLM architecture
# (Requires FirstPartModel and SecondPartModel class definitions)

Performance

Training improves perplexity from ~45 to ~30-35 across train/val/test sets.
