7 Limitations and Discussion

  1. What limitations of the QLoRA study do Dettmers et al. acknowledge?
    They couldn’t afford to show that QLoRA matches full 16-bit fine-tuning at 33B and 65B; they didn’t evaluate other benchmarks (BigBench, HELM), other bit widths or other adapter methods; and benchmark results seem to depend on how similar fine-tuning data is to the benchmark.
