How LoRA Works
Instead of updating all billions of weights in a model, LoRA injects small, trainable rank decomposition matrices into specific layers (usually attention blocks). The original weights remain frozen.
Production Benefits
Because LoRA adapters are tiny (often under 100MB), you can load a single base model into VRAM and dynamically swap LoRA adapters per-request depending on the user or task, enabling massive multi-tenancy.
