Adapters: the game changer for fine-tuning - Geoffrey Angus - The Data Scientist Show #084

I interviewed Geoffery Angus, ML team lead @Predibase to talk about why adapter-based training is a game changer. We started with an overview of fine-tuning and then discussed five reasons why adapters are the future of LLMs. Later we also shared a demo and answered questions from the live audience.
