Skill instructions

PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) Fine-tune LLMs by training <1% of parameters using LoRA, QLoRA, and 25+ adapter methods. When to use PEFT Use PEFT/LoRA when: - Fine-tuning 7B-70B models on consumer GPUs (RTX 4090, A100) - Need to train <1% parameters (6MB adapters vs 14GB full model) - Want fast iteration with multiple task-specific adapters - Deploying multiple fine-tuned variants from one base model Use QLoRA (PEFT + quantization) when: - Fine-tuning 70B models on single 24GB GPU - Memory is the primary constraint - Can accept ~5% quality trade-off vs full fine-tuning Use full fine-tuning instead when: - Training small models (<1B parameters) - Need maximum quality and have compute budget - Significant domain shift requires updating all weights Quick start Installation bash Basic installation pip install peft With quantization support (recommended) pip install peft bitsandbytes Full stack pip install peft transformers accelerate bitsandbytes datasets LoRA fine-tuning (standard
