| # Fine-tuning for image classification using LoRA and 🤗 PEFT | |
| [](https://colab.research.google.com/github/huggingface/peft/blob/main/examples/image_classification/image_classification_peft_lora.ipynb) | |
| We provide a notebook (`image_classification_peft_lora.ipynb`) where we learn how to use [LoRA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685) from 🤗 PEFT to fine-tune an image classification model by ONLY using **0.7%** of the original trainable parameters of the model. | |
| LoRA adds low-rank "update matrices" to certain blocks in the underlying model (in this case the attention blocks) and ONLY trains those matrices during fine-tuning. During inference, these update matrices are _merged_ with the original model parameters. For more details, check out the [original LoRA paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685). | |
