That's a really nice figure! I would say in addition to all the parameter-efficient finetuning techniques, one category that is missing is full finetuning. That is, just training the model as is without PEFT.

Community should adopt ‘finetuning’ over ‘fine-tuning’ terminology
By

That's a nice summary! Hah, one personal pet-peeve: I hope the community is moving from "fine-tuning" to "finetuning" similar to what happened to pretraining π

LIMA Dataset Support Added to Lit-GPT Framework
By

Finally got around adding LIMA to Lit-GPT (upon popular request). You can use it now to finetune any of the supported LLMs (Llama 2, Falcon, LongChat, … you name it). More usage info here: https://

> 100B (subset of the 500B) on top, thatβs not really small One day it will be considered small π

Dataset Definition Determines Fine-tuning, Not Technique
By
–
Yeah, maybe it's the dataset that defines it, not the technique. I.e., finetuning is if it's using the dataset corresponding to the target task.

Questioning the terminology between training and finetuning
By
–
yes, fair, but don't we call this simply "more training"? I dunno, is this really "finetuning"?

Self-supervised Learning and Autoregressive Next-word Prediction Clarification
By
–
Self-supervised = autoregressive, next-word prediction like in pretraining? That's what I had in mind with "like pretraining" but in a shorter way to make it fit into the 260 character limit

Defining and Categorizing LLM Fine-tuning Approaches
By
–
How do we define and categorize LLM "finetuning" these days? There's 1) Supervised finetuning: to 1a) train an encoder-LLM for classification or 1b) train a decoder-LLM to generate a specific response text. [1/2]

Three types of fine-tuning approaches for language models
By
–
[2/2] 2) Instruction finetuning: usually RLHF to generate a specific response. (But can also refer to 1b depending on the technique) 3) Long-context finetuning: like pretraining but w longer contexts (as per Code Llama paper)?
