Troubleshooting

• If you fail to finetune on multi cards because of following error message:

  RuntimeError: oneCCL: comm_selector.cpp:57 create_comm_impl: EXCEPTION: ze_data was not initialized

  Please try sudo apt install level-zero-dev to fix it.

• Please raise the system open file limit using ulimit -n 1048576. Otherwise, there may exist error Too many open files.

• If application raise wandb.errors.UsageError: api_key not configured (no-tty). Please login wandb or disable wandb login with this command:

export WANDB_MODE=offline

• If application raise Hugging Face related errors, i.e., NewConnectionError or Failed to download etc. Please download models and datasets, set model and data path, then set HF_HUB_OFFLINE with this command:

export HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1
