Add ESM2 PEFT recipe

[balvisio]

Description

This PR adds a recipe to perform LoRA fine-tuning to the Evo2 model. It provides support for DDP and sequence packing. It also contains a file infer.py that shows how to do inference from a fine-tuned checkpoint. The PR contains the datasets that were used to train the models. Eventually we can convert them into HF datasets.

It does not add support for FSDP or FP8 yet.

Usage

cd bionemo-recipes/recipes/evo2_peft_te/
python train_lora_ddp.py

For more information on usage see the README.

• ciflow:slow - Run slow single GPU integration tests marked as @pytest.mark.slow for bionemo2
• ciflow:all - Run all tests (unit tests, slow tests, and notebooks) for bionemo2. This label can be used to enforce running tests for all bionemo2.

Authorizing CI Runs

We use copy-pr-bot to manage authorization of CI
runs on NVIDIA's compute resources.

• If a pull request is opened by a trusted user and contains only trusted changes, the pull request's code will
  automatically be copied to a pull-request/ prefixed branch in the source repository (e.g. pull-request/123)
• If a pull request is opened by an untrusted user or contains untrusted changes, an NVIDIA org member must leave an
  /ok to test comment on the pull request to trigger CI. This will need to be done for each new commit.
