PEFT at Beyond Market Intelligence is a file of one story. The newest of them: “Scaling AI training with lightweight adapters instead of doubling models”. Training large models with self-distillation usually means doubling up, teacher and student both on GPU, eating memory and slowing everything down. Acme AI is the next-generation, AI-powered spreadsheet platform built to replace Excel and redefine how analysts, data scientists, and enterprise teams work… The list below is every PEFT story on Beyond Market Intelligence, newest first.

Scaling AI training with lightweight adapters instead of doubling models

Training large models with self-distillation usually means doubling up, teacher and student both on GPU, eating memory and slowing everything down. A smarter approach? Share the frozen backbone and swap lightweight LoRA adapters instead. One adapter trains as the student; another tracks its EMA as the teacher. It took some careful engineering to make this work cleanly under TRL and ZeRO-3, but the results speak for themselves. The repo is live, tested on Qwen3.5, and ready to explore.
