The field of large language models (LLMs) is rapidly evolving, with a growing demand for effective personalization techniques that can adapt model behavior to individual user preferences. Recent research has focused on developing parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, which minimize parameter changes while maintaining performance. These methods have shown great promise in reducing catastrophic forgetting and improving adaptation to new tasks. Notably, techniques such as LoRA, FLoRA, and LoRA-Edge have demonstrated significant improvements in fine-tuning efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the integration of graph structural priors and modular adapters has enhanced the composable fine-tuning of large-scale models. Overall, the field is moving towards more efficient, flexible, and adaptable models that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks and domains. Noteworthy papers include Fints, which proposes a fine-grained and instance-tailored steering framework for personalized adaptation, and FPS, which introduces a gradient-free method for parameter selection. Additionally, Loquetier presents a virtualized multi-LoRA framework for unified LLM fine-tuning and serving, and Calibrating and Rotating proposes a unified framework for designing advanced PEFT methods.
