A study on a 60M-parameter T5-small model explored the trade-offs between LoRA rank, target modules, and quantization for text-to-SQL tasks. The research found that a LoRA rank of 16 could recover significant accuracy while training fewer than 1% of parameters and reducing peak GPU memory by 31%. Further increases in rank beyond 16 did not yield measurable accuracy gains. The study also demonstrated that QLoRA with INT8 and NF4 quantization offered comparable accuracy at substantially lower memory costs, presenting a viable option for memory-constrained applications.
