A new research paper challenges the conventional practice of using uniform LoRA ranks when merging fine-tuned AI models. The study demonstrates that allowing individual experts to have different LoRA ranks can improve multi-domain accuracy by up to 1.8 percentage points without significant cost. Methods that select components by magnitude tend to discard valuable spectral components, particularly from instruction adapters, leading to accuracy drops, whereas methods that select components based on their effect on loss maintain accuracy across a wide rank range.
