QLoRA is the first approach that allows the TRAINING of Large Language Models (LLMs) on a single GPU. It does this by using three contributions namely: 1. a novel NormalFloat data type, 2. Double Quantization, 3. Paged Optimizers.

In this video, we explain the idea behind all three approaches and explain how they are put together to arrive at QLoRA.

WHO AM I?
I am a Machine Learning Researcher/Practitioner who has seen the grind of academia and start-ups equally. I started my career as a software engineer 15 years ago. Because of my love for Mathematics (coupled with a glimmer of luck), I graduated with a Master's in Computer Vision and Robotics in 2016 when the now happening AI revolution just started. Life has changed for the better ever since.
