Lora

Overview

Lora is a community-maintained Jupyter Notebook implementation that uses low-rank adaptation to fine-tune diffusion models efficiently. It reduces the number of trainable parameters by decomposing weight updates into low-rank matrices, enabling faster training with lower memory usage.
