### Abstract |
|
|
|
Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a widely-used parameter-efficient finetuning method for |
|
large language models. LoRA saves memory by training only low rank perturbations to |
|
selected weight matrices. In this work, we compare the performance of LoRA and full |
|
finetuning on two target domains, programming and mathematics. We consider both the |
|
instruction finetuning (≈100K prompt-response pairs) and continued pretraining (≈20B |
|
unstructured tokens) data regimes. Our results show that, in the standard low-rank settings, |
|
LoRA substantially underperforms full finetuning. Nevertheless, LoRA better maintains the |
|
base model’s performance on tasks outside the target domain. We show that LoRA mitigates |
|
forgetting more than common regularization techniques such as weight decay and dropout; |
|
it also helps maintain more diverse generations. Finally, we show that full finetuning learns |
|
perturbations with a rank that is 10-100× greater than typical LoRA configurations, possibly |
|
explaining some of the reported gaps. We conclude by proposing best practices for finetuning |
|
with LoRA. |

### Training Procedure |
|
|
|
<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. --> |
|
|
|
In all four scenarios below, we use the Llama-2-7B base model [meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf). For |
|
the CPT runs, we use the [meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf) tokenizer, while for the IFT runs we use the |
|
[meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf) tokenizer. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Code CPT (StarCoder-Python) |
|
|
|
[StarCoder-Python](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/starcoderdata) (Li et al., 2023a) This dataset consists of permissively licensed repositories from GitHub, including Git commits, in 80+ programming languages. We chose the Python |
|
subset and sub-sampled it to 20B tokens. |

|
|
|
We trained models for 0.25B, 0.5B, 1B, 2B, 4B, 8B, 16B and 20B tokens. These checkpoints can be found for each LoRA and full finetuning setting in the HuggingFace model branches. |
|

|
## Math CPT (OpenWebMath) |
|
|
|
[OpenWebMath](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-web-math/open-web-math) (Paster et al., 2023) - This dataset contains 14.7B tokens derived from mathematical web pages from Common Crawl, correctly formatted to preserve mathematical content such as LaTeX equations. To match with the StarCoder-Python dataset, we trained on up to 20B tokens, repeating tokens beyond the first 14.7B. An analysis of this dataset shows that it contains a considerable amount of full English sentences. |
