⭐ Key Features

All kernels written in OpenAI's Triton language. Manual backprop engine.
0% loss in accuracy - no approximation methods - all exact.
No change of hardware. Supports NVIDIA GPUs since 2018+. Minimum CUDA Capability 7.0 (V100, T4, Titan V, RTX 20, 30, 40x, A100, H100, L40 etc) Check your GPU! GTX 1070, 1080 works, but is slow.
Works on Linux and Windows via WSL.
Supports 4bit and 16bit QLoRA / LoRA finetuning via bitsandbytes.
Open source trains 5x faster - see Unsloth Pro for up to 30x faster training!
If you trained a model with 🦥Unsloth, you can use this cool sticker!

💾 Installation Instructions

Conda Installation

⚠️Only use Conda if you have it. If not, use Pip. Select either pytorch-cuda=11.8,12.1 for CUDA 11.8 or CUDA 12.1. If you have mamba, use mamba instead of conda for faster solving. We support python=3.10,3.11,3.12.

conda create --name unsloth_env \
    python=3.11 \
    pytorch-cuda=12.1 \
    pytorch cudatoolkit xformers -c pytorch -c nvidia -c xformers \
    -y
conda activate unsloth_env

pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install --no-deps trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes

If you're looking to install Conda in a Linux environment, read here, or run the below 🔽

mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
rm -rf ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
~/miniconda3/bin/conda init zsh

Pip Installation

⚠️Do **NOT** use this if you have Conda. Pip is a bit more complex since there are dependency issues. The pip command is different for torch 2.2,2.3,2.4 and CUDA versions.

In general, if you have torch 2.4 and CUDA 12.1, use:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch240] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

Or, run the below in a terminal to get the optional pip installation command:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/unsloth/_auto_install.py | python -

Or, run the below manually in a Python REPL:

try: import torch
except: raise ImportError("Install torch via `pip install torch`")
from packaging.version import Version as V
v = V(torch.__version__)
cuda = str(torch.version.cuda)
is_ampere = torch.cuda.get_device_capability()[0] >= 8
if cuda != "12.1" and cuda != "11.8": raise RuntimeError(f"CUDA = {cuda} not supported!")
if   v <= V('2.1.0'): raise RuntimeError(f"Torch = {v} too old!")
elif v <= V('2.1.1'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch211'
elif v <= V('2.1.2'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch212'
elif v  < V('2.3.0'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch220'
elif v  < V('2.4.0'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch230'
elif v  < V('2.5.0'): x = 'cu{}{}-torch240'
else: raise RuntimeError(f"Torch = {v} too new!")
x = x.format(cuda.replace(".", ""), "-ampere" if is_ampere else "")
print(f'pip install --upgrade pip && pip install "unsloth[{x}] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"')

Afterwards, confirm if nvcc xformers and bitsandbytes have successfully installed - if not, install them individually first until they work, then install Unsloth.

nvcc
python -m xformers.info
python -m bitsandbytes
