Summary of Changes

Hello @tastelikefeet, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

I've addressed a bug related to Mixture of Experts (MoE) loss calculation within our sequence parallel training framework. This ensures that the auxiliary loss from MoE models, specifically derived from router_logits, is correctly gathered and incorporated into the total loss. This fix improves the training stability and accuracy for MoE models when trained with sequence parallelism.

Highlights

  • Loss Gathering Utility: I've introduced a new GatherLoss utility and integrated it into the sequence parallel training setup to correctly aggregate loss components, specifically router_logits, across distributed devices.
  • MoE Router Logits Handling: I've implemented a forward hook (moe_aux_loss_hook) that specifically handles the router_logits generated by Mixture of Experts (MoE) models. This hook ensures that these logits are properly gathered and reshaped across sequence parallel ranks before auxiliary loss computation.
  • MoE Auxiliary Loss Integration: I've updated the main compute_loss function to correctly incorporate the auxiliary loss from MoE models. This loss is now added to the primary loss, weighted by a configurable coefficient, ensuring that the MoE routing mechanism is properly regularized during training.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a fix for handling Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) auxiliary loss, particularly in a sequence parallel training setup. The changes are well-structured and address the issue effectively across multiple files.

In swift/trainers/sequence_parallel/utils.py, the GatherLoss function has been generalized to handle cases where labels are not provided, which is a necessary change for processing MoE router logits.

In swift/trainers/sequence_parallel/ulysses.py, a new forward hook moe_aux_loss_hook is added to correctly gather router_logits from all sequence parallel workers. This ensures the auxiliary loss is computed on the full, un-sharded sequence, which is crucial for correctness.

Finally, in swift/trainers/trainers.py, the main compute_loss function is updated to correctly incorporate the MoE auxiliary loss into the total loss.

Overall, the changes are logical, consistent, and appear to be a solid fix for the problem. I have not found any issues with the implementation.
