# Llama-Adapter[Llama-Adapter](https://hf.co/papers/2303.16199) is a PEFT method specifically designed for turning Llama into an instruction-following model. The Llama model is frozen and only a set of adaptation prompts prefixed to the input instruction tokens are learned. Since randomly initialized modules inserted into the model can cause the model to lose some of its existing knowledge, Llama-Adapter uses zero-initialized attention with zero gating to progressively add the instructional prompts to the model.The abstract from the paper is:*We present LLaMA-Adapter, a lightweight adaption method to efficiently fine-tune LLaMA into an instruction-following model. Using 52K self-instruct demonstrations, LLaMA-Adapter only introduces 1.2M learnable parameters upon the frozen LLaMA 7B model, and costs less than one hour for fine-tuning on 8 A100 GPUs. Specifically, we adopt a set of learnable adaption prompts, and prepend them to the input text tokens at higher transformer layers. Then, a zero-init attention mechanism with zero gating is proposed, which adaptively injects the new instructional cues into LLaMA, while effectively preserves its pre-trained knowledge. With efficient training, LLaMA-Adapter generates high-quality responses, comparable to Alpaca with fully fine-tuned 7B parameters. Furthermore, our approach can be simply extended to multi-modal input, e.g., images, for image-conditioned LLaMA, which achieves superior reasoning capacity on ScienceQA.
