QLoRA: Training a Large Language Model on a 16GB GPU.

Let’s explore how Quantization works and provide an example of fine-tuning a 7-billion-parameter Bloom model on a T4 16GB GPU in Google Colab.

This article is part of a free course about Large Language Models available on GitHub.

We are going to combine a weight reduction technique for models, such as Quantization, with a parameter-efficient fine-tuning technique like LoRA. The result of this combination is QLoRA, which allows us to fine-tune large …
