LARA: small, composable behaviours for frozen LLMs [P]

Excerpt

GitHub: https://github.com/pfekin/LARA I've been working on LARA (Lightweight Additive Residual Adaptation), a research project on making post-training modular for frozen language models. I've also developed a small PyTorch library that implements it. The main idea is to train a low-rank residual adapter at selected layers rather than modifying the model's weights. The resulting behaviors are small enough to keep separately and can be loaded, removed, blended or routed at inference time. The Mix
