Capability gains

LoRA sharply reduces the cost of adapting large language models

Microsoft researchers introduced Low-Rank Adaptation, reducing trainable parameters for GPT-3-scale adaptation by up to 10,000 times; Hugging Face later deployed LoRA through its PEFT library across Transformers and Accelerate.
