We have been curious about this for a long time! this resonates our findings - LoRA underperforms in settings that resemble pre-training, but matches FT in many cases.
We show that it is possible to reduce the serving cost with FT: arxiv.org/abs/2312.05215

LoRA makes fine-tuning more accessible, but it's unclear how it compares to full fine-tuning. We find that the performance often matches closely---more often than you might expect. In our latest Connectionism post, we share our experimental results and recommendations for LoRA.

@EPFL , @ETH_en and #CSCS today released Apertus, Switzerland's first large-scale, multilingual language model (LLM). As a fully open LLM, it serves as a building block for developers and organizations to create their own applications: cscs.ch/science/comput… #Apertus #AI

My reviews achieved 100% accuracy on the final results, I hope I did a decent job in helping review (I also particularly like the “reasons to accept” and “reasons to reject” setting!)
The list of accepted papers for COLM 2025 is now available here:
