LoRA & QLoRA Explained Simply | Full Fine-Tuning vs PEFT + Intuition + Practical (Complete Guide)
Skills:
Fine-tuning LLMs90%
In this video, we cover LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) in depth with complete intuition, math, and practical implementation.
We start by understanding the training stages of LLMs and where LoRA fits in the pipeline. Then we compare Full Parameter Fine-Tuning vs PEFT (Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning) and explore different PEFT methods.
You will also learn:
- What are weights in Neural Networks and Transformers
- Matrix and rank concepts (very important for LoRA)
- What is LoRA and how LoRA adapters work
- Benefits of LoRA over full fine-tuning
- Optimizers and weight update concepts
- Hands-on practical implementation of LoRA
This is a complete beginner to advanced guide covering theory + intuition + real-world practical.
Topics covered:
LLM training stages
Full fine-tuning vs PEFT
LoRA, QLoRA, DoRA
Matrix and rank
Weights in transformers
Gradient and optimizer
LoRA practical implementation
Perfect for:
- AI Engineers
- Data Scientists
- Machine Learning Engineers
- Anyone learning LLM fine-tuning
