Runs

From The Adaptive UI

Runs are the instantiation of a running recipe. They are executed on the same underlying infrastructure where the Adaptive Engine compute plane is hosted. To create a run from the Adaptive UI, you would:

Select the recipe that you want to run from the “Recipe” tab
Specify values for the config. The Adaptive UI automatically create widgets to input values based on the types of your config fields (see the image below)
Review your recipe and launch the run

Below is an example of the UI to launch a simple recipe (see Input configuration to learn how to create input configurations for your recipes).

From the SDK

The Adaptive SDK provides a comprehensive interface for managing custom recipes. You can upload your recipe files, list existing recipes, and launch training jobs programmatically. First, initialize the Adaptive SDK client:

from adaptive_sdk import Adaptive

# Initialize client
adaptive = Adaptive(
    base_url="[ADAPTIVE_URL]",
    api_key="[ADAPTIVE_API_KEY]"
)

# Set default use case (optional)
adaptive.set_default_use_case("my-use-case")

Uploading Custom Recipes

Use adaptive.recipes.upload() to upload your recipe to the platform. path can point to a single file or a directory with multiple files.

# Upload a recipe file
path = "/path/to/your/recipe.py"
dir_path = "/path/to/your/recipe_dir"

recipe_data = client.recipes.upload(
    path= path or dir_path,
    recipe_key="my-recipe",
    name="PPO Training Recipe"
)

print(f"Uploaded recipe with ID: {recipe_data.id}")

If you are passing a directory path, the file where your @recipe_main is defined must be named main.py. Furthermore, all imports in your code must be relative (i.e from .other_file import some_class instead of from other_file import some_class).

Listing Recipes

Use adaptive.recipes.list() to view all available recipes. To list all recipes:

# List all recipes in the default use case
recipes = adaptive.recipes.list()

for recipe in recipes:
    print(f"Recipe: {recipe.name} (Key: {recipe.key})")

Inspecting the input schema of a recipe

Use adaptive.recipe.get() to get a specific recipe’s json schema. You can construct your input parameters dict from this schema.

# Get recipe's json_schema
from pprint import pprint
schema = adaptive.recipes.get(recipe_key="my-recipe").json_schema

print(f"Recipe input schema:\n")
pprint(schema)

.json_schema is the simplified json_schema you can use as reference to build your input payload. You also have .input_schema, which will point out what fields are AdaptiveDataset, AdaptiveModel or AdaptiveGrader.

You can also generate a sample input dictionary from the json schema with mock data, to facilitate building your own (valid) input with adaptive.recipe.generate_sample_input().

from pprint import pprint 
# Get sample input dictionary to match recipe's input schema
mock_input = adaptive.recipes.generate_sample_input(recipe_key="my-recipe")

print(f"Sample recipe input dictionary:\n")
pprint(mock_input)

Launching a Run

Use adaptive.recipes.run() to launch a run from a recipe. Arguments to pass to the recipe config should be given in the input_args argument and should strictly adhere to the config defined in the recipe.

# Launch training with a dataset
job = adaptive.jobs.run(
    recipe_key="my-recipe",
    num_gpus=2,
    name="My run",
    compute_pool="default",
    input_args = {
        "lr": 0.02,
        "batch_size": 8,
        "model": "llama-3.1-8b-instruct",
        "dataset": "my-dataset-key",
        "grader": "my-grader-key"
    }
)
