A new paper explores the optimal placement of LoRA adapters in hybrid language models, which combine attention and recurrent components. The research demonstrates that adapting the attention pathway is more effective than full-model adaptation, requiring significantly fewer parameters. Crucially, the study found that adapting the recurrent backbone can be detrimental in sequential hybrid models but beneficial in parallel ones, highlighting the importance of topology-aware adaptation strategies.
