The Astraios suite is introduced as a set of 28 Large Language Models (LLMs) with varying sizes up to 16 billion parameters, utilizing 7 fine-tuning methods. Investigations across 5 tasks and 8 datasets demonstrate that full-parameter fine-tuning generally outperforms parameter-efficient approaches, with LoRA offering the best cost-performance trade-off. The study also explores model robustness and code security, revealing larger models tend to be less robust and secure.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used in various tasks, but they can be very expensive to train. To solve this problem, many different methods have been tried to fine-tune the models. This study looks at 28 different models that use these methods and tests them on 5 different tasks with 8 different datasets. The results show that training all of a model’s parameters at once usually works best, but some other methods can be good too. The study also found that larger models are less robust and secure than smaller ones.
