Paper I’ve been reading 📝
Lu et al (2023) just released LLaMa-Adapter, which is able to turn Meta AI’s LLaMa into an instruction-following model within just 1 hour.
ELI5: LLaMA-Adapter is like a custom-made kit that can transform a regular car into a self-driving car in one hour.
The kit comes with 1.2M components and 52K instructions that can be easily installed on the car to equip it with the ability to follow instructions.
The components allow the car to take in instructional cues, keeping its existing features intact, and apply them to follow instructions.
🔥Excited to release LLaMA-Adapter! With only 1.2M learnable parameters and 52K instruction data, LLaMA-Adapter turns a #LLaMA into an instruction-following model within ONE hour, delivering high-quality responses!
