Parameter-efficient fine-tuning for large language models
Worth a timeboxed spike before you bet on it.
Who it's for
Small teams with existing PyTorch and transformer workloads
What it replaces
Manual fine-tuning or paid model optimization services
The catch
Dependence on Hugging Face ecosystem and limited support for non-PyTorch frameworks
Your first hour
Install peft library and test adapter-based fine-tuning on a small model
