Semanlink - Favoris ; Machine learning AND LoRA

> the paper LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models proposes to decompose the weight changes, ΔW, into a lower-rank representation. (To be technically correct, LoRA does not decompose the matrices directly, but it learns the decomposed matrices via backpropagation).
>
> suppose ΔW is the weight update for an A × B weight matrix. Then, we can decompose the weight update matrix into two smaller matrices: ΔW = WA WB, where WA is an an A × r-dimensional matrix, and WB is an an r × B-dimensional matrix.

LORA and LLama :

> Lit-LLaMA repository a simple, readable reimplementation of Meta’s popular LLaMA model. Besides code for training and running LLaMA itself (with the original Meta LLaMA weights), it also contains code for finetuning LLaMA using LLaMA-Adapter and LoRA.

Because the leaked model was theirs ([LLaMA](tag:llama)), they have
effectively garnered an entire planet's worth of free labor.
Since most open source innovation is happening on top of
their architecture, there is nothing stopping them from
directly incorporating it into their products.
