LoRA fine-tuning explained: Why low rank adapts LLMs effectively

This article explains the intrinsic-low-rank hypothesis of fine-tuning large language models, detailing how techniques like LoRA adapt models without altering original weights. It clarifies that LoRA's expressive update is confined to a rank-r subspace, meaning a higher rank doesn't always improve performance if it exceeds the task's intrinsic rank. The author provides a runnable script and empirical results to demonstrate how LoRA's rank impacts its ability to fit the necessary update subspace, showing that over-parameterization leads to noise.
