 We use LoRA, or low rank approximation, to fine-tune models in a way that reduces their complexity without significantly affecting their performance. This method works by approximating the original high-rank matrix with a lower rank one, thus only fine-tuning a smaller subset of "important" parameters during the supervised training phase, making the model more manageable and efficient. For users, this makes training faster and more affordable than other techniques.
