Elastic and Fault-Tolerant Supervised Fine-Tuning on Multiple Nodes

To launch an elastic job with MAX_RESTARTS failures retries, run the following on at least MIN_NNODES nodes and at most MAX_NNODES nodes. RDZV_ID should be set as a unique job id (shared by all nodes participating in the job). See also torchrun.

FORCE_TORCHRUN=1 MIN_NNODES=1 MAX_NNODES=3 MAX_RESTARTS=3 RDZV_ID=llamafactory MASTER_ADDR=192.168.0.1 MASTER_PORT=29500 llamafactory-cli train examples/train_full/llama3_full_sft.yaml
