Fine-Tuning with LoRA & QLoRA
Full fine-tuning a 7B model requires 56GB of VRAM. You don't have that. Neither do most companies. LoRA lets you fine-tune the same model in 6GB by training less than 1% of the parameters. This isn't a compromise -- it matches full fine-tuning quality on most tasks. The entire open-source fine-tuning ecosystem runs on this one trick.

This lesson isn’t interactive yet.
It is part of the curriculum and will get the same treatment as Phase 1 — a visual cover, hands-on labs, derivations with numeric checks and a quiz. Until then, the original lesson is the best place to read it:
Part of Phase 11 — LLM Engineering. Use the previous / next cards below to keep browsing the phase.
