Depends on unslothai/unsloth-zoo#350

This adds the check for environment variable UNSLOTH_TILED_MLP to enable tiled_mlp via patch.

It also adjusts the patching logic for the llama style models to account for the lora mlp kernels with tiled_mlp.

Summary of Changes

Hello @mmathew23, 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!

This pull request integrates a 'tiled MLP' optimization into the Unsloth framework, designed to enhance performance for certain model architectures. It provides a mechanism for users to activate this feature through an environment variable, and crucially, it refines the interaction between LoRA MLP kernels and the new tiled MLP implementation in Llama-style models to maintain correct behavior and efficiency.

Highlights

  • Tiled MLP Integration: Introduces the ability to enable 'tiled MLP' functionality within the framework, which is a performance optimization for neural networks.
  • Environment Variable Control: The tiled MLP feature is controlled via the UNSLOTH_TILED_MLP environment variable, allowing users to activate it with specific options like 'arctic' or 'target'.
  • LoRA MLP Kernel Adjustment: Adjusts the patching logic for Llama-style models to correctly account for LoRA MLP kernels when the tiled MLP optimization is active, ensuring compatibility and proper function.

Code Review

This pull request adds support for Tiled MLP patching, controlled by the UNSLOTH_TILED_MLP environment variable. The changes in unsloth/models/llama.py correctly adjust the LoRA patching logic for this. However, I've identified a critical issue in unsloth/models/llama.py where a method is being patched incorrectly, which will likely lead to a TypeError. Additionally, the code to apply the Tiled MLP patch in unsloth/models/loader.py is duplicated, and I've recommended refactoring this to improve maintainability.

This block of code for patching Tiled MLP is duplicated in FastModel.from_pretrained (lines 1149-1153). To improve maintainability and avoid code duplication, consider extracting this logic into a private helper function within this module and calling it from both from_pretrained methods.

This is a duplicate of the Tiled MLP patching logic found in FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained (lines 571-575). This should be refactored into a shared helper function to avoid code duplication.
