Ah sorry, I meant M1/M2 chips (not specifically M1/2 CPUs). As far as I know, the 4-bit NormalFloat format that is used in QLoRA is currently only supported on Nvidia GPUs (

…). Maybe the repo you mentioned uses a different type of quantized training.

LoRA is a parameter-efficient finetuning technique, yes. I recently compared to Llama-Adapter and Llama-Adapter v2:

I haven't tried on non-GPU machines, but maybe the following works:

BFloat16 Support in Ampere GPUs and M1 Chips
By
–
BFloat16 is a format introduced in Ampere architectures (Nvidia A100 cards) or newer. M1 chips for some reason have also bfloat16 in PyTorch, but I think this MPS bfloat16 is something very different.

BFloat16 Weight Clipping Limits and Extreme Value Representation
By
–
Hm, so that means all weights above values 65504 and below -65504 will be clipped. Does anyone know of there are numbers that large/small in the original bfloat16 representation?

LoRA as Cost-Effective Solution for Multi-Customer LLM Deployment
By
–
I believe this would be easiest and most cost-effective because they won't have to store a new 175B parameter LLM for each customer then. With LoRA, you can use the same base LLM but only need to store the LoRA weights.

Someone needs to scale up Llama 2 to GPT 3 size. Would be curious how that compares then.

Will be interesting how this LoRA-on-demand service will compare to open-source LoRA on prem. Here's a little reminder that open-source Llama 2 compares very favorably to ChatGPT / GPT 3.5
