What is new is just how many times this has been applied to LLaMA and other models to squeeze near-equivalent foundation model performance out of a small number of parameters. But that’s basically what happens when the cat comes out of the bag in open source.

GPT Quantization and LoRA: Historical Context of Optimization Techniques
By
–
Those techniques are not explicitly new—GPT quantization goes back to October 2022 (and Google released a paper about leveraging sparsity in training in 2021). LoRA shows up in a paper in 2021.

LoRA and Quantization: Google Shifts from Big Numbers Approach
By
–
One of my big takeaways is just how important LoRA—basically a way to simplify and reduce the cost re-training models—and quantization for more compact models is here. Google has traditionally taken the Big Numbers approach to model development so it’s at minimum notable.
