Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) stands as one of the most popular and effective methods for efficiently training custom Large Language Models (LLMs). As practitioners of open-source LLMs, we regard LoRA as a crucial technique in our toolkit.

In this talk, I will delve into some practical insights gained from running hundreds of experiments with LoRA, addressing questions such as: How much can I save with quantized LoRA? Are Adam optimizers memory-intensive? Should we train for multiple epochs? How do we choose the LoRA rank?
