Notice: This website is continuously updated as new conference proceedings and journal volumes are published. Consequently, the figures presented here may differ from those reported in our publications.


A brief overview of our methodology is provided on the Methods page, along with references to publications documenting our approach and links to the code and data used in each study.


The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates.

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Extensive experiments on the pre-training and fine-tuning of LLMs show that Fira outperforms both Lo RA and Ga Lore. Notably, for pre-training LLa MA 7B, our Fira uses 8 smaller memory of optimizer states than Galore, yet outperforms it by a large margin.

Pseudocode Yes A Fira Implementation A.1 Algorithm Pseudocode Algorithm 1 Fira with Adam ... A.2 Plug-and-play Framework for Fira Algorithm 2 Plug-and-play framework for Fira, Pytorch-like.
Open Source Code Yes We will release the source code and package of our Fira into a Python library for easy use. https://github.com/xichen-fy/Fira
Open Datasets Yes Adam optimizer is used to train all baselines and our method on the C4 dataset in the BF16 format. The dataset C4 is a colossal, cleaned version of Common Crawl s web crawl corpus, which is widely used in LLM pre-training [26].
Dataset Splits No Following [14], we perform the fine-tuning task to compare Fira with Lo RA... This task consists of eight sub-tasks, each with its own designated training and testing sets. Following the approach of [14], we combine the training datasets from all eight sub-tasks into a unified training set, while evaluating each sub-task individually using its respective testing dataset.
Hardware Specification Yes We use 8 A100 80G GPUs to conduct pre-training experiments. ... We adopt RTX 4090 GPUs for fine-tuning experiments.
Software Dependencies No Adam optimizer is used to train all baselines and our method on the C4 dataset in the BF16 format.
Experiment Setup Yes The detailed settings of pre-training are provided in Appendix B.1. The detailed settings of fine-tuning are provided in Appendix B.2.
