🤗 PEFT v0.10.0 release! 🔥🚀✨

Some highli📝ghts:
1. FSDP+QLoRA and DeepSpeed Stage-3+QLoRA
2. Layer expansion + LoRA
3. DoRA support for Conv2D layers and quantized bitsandbytes layers
4. New LoftQ utility
5. Batched inference for mixed LoRA adapters.

http://Answer.AI team in collaboration with bitsandbytes and Hugging Face 🤗 open sourced code enabling the usage of FSDP+QLoRA and explained the whole process in their insightful blogpost https://lnkd.in/g6jgfXyv. This is now integrated into Hugging Face ecosystem.

For an end-to-end example on FSDP+QLoRA, please refer https://lnkd.in/gT3yY-Rx.

For an end-to-end example on DeepSpeed Stage-3+QLoRA, please refer https://lnkd.in/gkt-xZRE.

With the PR https://lnkd.in/g5F348MN these changes are now upstreamed in https://lnkd.in/g5_MxYtY thanks to Wing Lian ! 🚀

Kudos to http://Answer.AI team, Titus von Köller , Younes Belkada, Benjamin Bossan and Zachary Mueller for all the help without which this couldn't have been possible. 🤗

For efficient depthwise layer expansion akin to passthrough method of mergekit but without using additional memory and attaching LoRAs to it, refer to the details below! 🔥https://lnkd.in/ge95ztjA

Now DoRA is supported for Conv2D layers as well as bitsandbytes quantized layers ✨. For more details, please refer the below thread.

Now you can mix different LoRA adapters in a batch during inference which speeds-up the inference by avoiding computation of base model multiple times which would be the case for adaptive inference with batch_size=1! ⚡️.
Details below. https://lnkd.in/gD-pcX_B

LoftQ reduces quantization error by appropriately initializing the LoRA adapter weights. Normally, this is a two-step process. Benjamin Bossan
added new util replace_lora_weights_loftq for LoftQ to use it on the fly with bnb.

For more details, refer to the release notes. 📝

So many amazing new enhancements! Amazing work!
