Pros
- +High-performance C/C++ implementation optimized for local inference with minimal resource overhead
- +Extensive model format support including GGUF quantization and native integration with Hugging Face ecosystem
- +Multiple deployment options including CLI tools, REST API server, Docker containers, and IDE extensions
- +显著降低微调成本：只需训练0.1-1%的参数，大幅减少计算和存储需求
- +与主流库深度集成：无缝支持Transformers、Diffusers、Accelerate等生态
- +性能卓越：在多个基准测试中达到与全量微调相当的效果
Cons
- -Requires technical knowledge for compilation and model conversion processes
- -Limited to inference only - no training capabilities
- -Frequent API changes may require code updates for downstream applications
- -学习曲线较陡：需要理解不同PEFT方法的原理和适用场景
- -方法选择复杂：面对多种PEFT技术（LoRA、AdaLoRA、IA3等）需要根据任务特点选择
- -依赖特定框架：主要针对HuggingFace生态优化，其他框架支持有限
