Description

Recent breakthroughs in natural language processing, comprehension, and generation have been greatly influenced by the development of large language models. This research presents a system that employs Ascend 910 AI processors and the MindSpore framework to train a language model exceeding one trillion parameters, specifically 1.085 trillion, referred to as PanGu-{\Sigma}. This model enhances the groundwork established by PanGu-{\alpha} by converting the conventional dense Transformer model into a sparse format through a method known as Random Routed Experts (RRE). Utilizing a substantial dataset of 329 billion tokens, the model was effectively trained using a strategy called Expert Computation and Storage Separation (ECSS), which resulted in a remarkable 6.3-fold improvement in training throughput through the use of heterogeneous computing. Through various experiments, it was found that PanGu-{\Sigma} achieves a new benchmark in zero-shot learning across multiple downstream tasks in Chinese NLP, showcasing its potential in advancing the field. This advancement signifies a major leap forward in the capabilities of language models, illustrating the impact of innovative training techniques and architectural modifications.

Description

PanGu-α has been created using the MindSpore framework and utilizes a powerful setup of 2048 Ascend 910 AI processors for its training. The training process employs an advanced parallelism strategy that leverages MindSpore Auto-parallel, which integrates five different parallelism dimensions—data parallelism, operation-level model parallelism, pipeline model parallelism, optimizer model parallelism, and rematerialization—to effectively distribute tasks across the 2048 processors. To improve the model's generalization, we gathered 1.1TB of high-quality Chinese language data from diverse fields for pretraining. We conduct extensive tests on PanGu-α's generation capabilities across multiple situations, such as text summarization, question answering, and dialogue generation. Additionally, we examine how varying model scales influence few-shot performance across a wide array of Chinese NLP tasks. The results from our experiments highlight the exceptional performance of PanGu-α, demonstrating its strengths in handling numerous tasks even in few-shot or zero-shot contexts, thus showcasing its versatility and robustness. This comprehensive evaluation reinforces the potential applications of PanGu-α in real-world scenarios.
