FlowerTune LLM on Medical Dataset
This directory conducts federated instruction tuning with a pretrained Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct model on a Medical dataset. We use Flower Datasets to download, partition and preprocess the dataset. Flower's Simulation Engine is used to simulate the LLM fine-tuning process in federated way, which allows users to perform the training on a single GPU.
Methodology
This baseline performs federated LLM fine-tuning with LoRA using the 🤗PEFT library. The clients' models are aggregated with FedAvg strategy. This provides a baseline performance for the leaderboard of Medical challenge.
I target specific layers on the module according to it's architecture like the following:
target_modules=[ "q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj", "gate_proj", "up_proj", "down_proj", ],
which are the same on the cookbook of the qwen2.5 model.
I found that the num-server round more than 200 will make the model hallicuates so i test every 20 rounds and the best were 5 round and 20 rounds
Environments setup
Project dependencies are defined in pyproject.toml. Install them in an activated Python environment with:
pip install -e .
Experimental setup
The dataset is divided into 20 partitions in an IID fashion, a partition is assigned to each ClientApp. We randomly sample a fraction (0.1) of the total nodes to participate in each round, for a total of 20 rounds. All settings are defined in pyproject.toml.
IMPORTANT
Please note that [tool.flwr.app.config.static] and options.num-supernodes under [tool.flwr.federations.local-simulation] are not allowed to be modified for fair competition if you plan to participated in the LLM leaderboard.

Running the challenge
First make sure that you have got the access to Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct model with your Hugging-Face account. You can request access directly from the Hugging-Face website. Then, follow the instruction here to log in your account. Note you only need to complete this stage once in your development machine:
huggingface-cli login
Run the challenge with default config values. The configs are defined in [tool.flwr.app.config] entry of pyproject.toml, and are loaded automatically.
flwr run
Model saving
The global PEFT model checkpoints are saved every 5 rounds after aggregation on the sever side as default, which can be specified with train.save-every-round under [tool.flwr.app.config] entry in pyproject.toml.
NOTE
Please provide the last PEFT checkpoint if you plan to participated in the LLM leaderboard.
