AdaLeZO speeds up LLM fine-tuning with adaptive layer sampling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed AdaLeZO, a new framework designed to make Zeroth-Order (ZO) optimization more efficient for fine-tuning Large Language Models. This method addresses the slow convergence and high variance typically associated with ZO by dynamically allocating computational resources to the most sensitive layers of a model. AdaLeZO functions as a plug-and-play module, accelerating existing ZO optimizers by up to 3.0x without increasing memory usage. AI

    Universally Empowering Zeroth-Order Optimization via Adaptive Layer-wise Sampling

    Zeroth-Order optimization presents a promising memory-efficient paradigm for fine-tuning Large Language Models by relying solely on forward passes. However, its practical adoption is severely constrained by slow wall-clock convergence and high estimation variance. In this work, w…
