Overview
PEFT（Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning）是HuggingFace开发的参数高效微调库，专门解决大型预训练模型微调成本过高的问题。该库实现了多种最先进的PEFT方法，包括LoRA、Adapters、Soft prompts、IA3等技术，允许用户只微调模型的少量参数（通常不到1%）来适应下游任务，而不是微调整个模型的所有参数。PEFT与Transformers、Diffusers和Accelerate等流行库深度集成，为模型训练、推理和分布式计算提供无缝支持。该库的核心优势在于大幅降低计算和存储成本，同时保持与全量微调相当的性能表现。PEFT特别适用于资源受限的环境和需要快速适应多个任务的场景，已成为大模型微调的标准解决方案，在学术界和工业界广泛应用。
