AI Creators Urged to Share LoRAs, Not Full Models, to Save Data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is proposing a shift in how AI model creators distribute their work. The suggestion is to prioritize uploading LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptations) rather than entire fine-tuned models. This approach would allow users to download only the base model and then apply LoRAs, significantly reducing the amount of data that needs to be downloaded and stored. AI

IMPACT Could streamline AI model deployment and reduce storage needs for users by prioritizing LoRA sharing.

    Is there no way we can push for creators to upload LoRas instead of the full files, so we only ever have to download the base model?
