peft-fine-tuning
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning for LLMs using LoRA, QLoRA, and 25+ methods. Use when fine-tuning large models (7B-70B) with limited GPU memory, when you need to train <1% of parameters with minimal accuracy loss, or for multi-adapter serving. HuggingFace's official library integrated with transformers ecosystem.

# PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning)
Fine-tune LLMs by training <1% of parameters using LoRA, QLoRA, and 25+ adapter methods.
## When to use PEFT
**Use PEFT/LoRA when:**
- Fine-tuning 7B-70B models on consumer GPUs (RTX 4090, A100)
- Need to train <1% parameters (6MB adapters vs 14GB full model)
- Want fast iteration with multiple task-specific adapters
- Deploying multiple fine-tuned variants from one base model
**Use QLoRA (PEFT + quantization) when:**
- Fine-tuning 70B models on single 24GB GPU
