LoQT

LoQT: Low-Rank Adapters for Quantized Pre-Training

Sebastian Loeschcke*, Mads Toftrup*, Michael J. Kastoryano, Serge Belongie, Vésteinn Snæbjarnarson

NeurIPS 2024. *Equal contribution.

  Code   Paper

LoQT enables efficient quantized pre-training of LLMs with results close to full-rank non-quantized models. It enables pre-training of a 13B LLM on a 24GB GPU without model parallel, checkpointing, or offloading strategies during training.
