LLM Checkpoint Converter
A utility to convert model checkpoints between different open-source LLM frameworks (e.g., PyTorch to TensorFlow) or optimize them for inference. This enables seamless interoperability and deployment of models across various ecosystems.
What It Does
- Convert PyTorch checkpoints to TensorFlow SavedModel format.
- Convert TensorFlow checkpoints to PyTorch format.
- Validate input files and handle errors gracefully.
Installation
- Python 3.7+
- Required Python packages:
torchtensorflowtransformers
Install the required packages using pip:
pip install torch tensorflow transformersUsage
Run the script from the command line with the following arguments:
python llm_checkpoint_converter.py --input <input_checkpoint> --output_format <pytorch|tensorflow> --output <output_checkpoint>Arguments
--input: Path to the input checkpoint file.--output_format: Target format for the conversion (pytorchortensorflow).--output: Path to save the converted checkpoint.
Example
Convert a PyTorch checkpoint to TensorFlow:
python llm_checkpoint_converter.py --input model.pt --output_format tensorflow --output model_tfConvert a TensorFlow checkpoint to PyTorch:
python llm_checkpoint_converter.py --input model_tf --output_format pytorch --output model.ptSource Code
