Fine-tuning mode: "what can I TRAIN on this machine?" — the mirror of the
inference advisor. Running a model and fine-tuning it have wildly different
memory costs (a 7B chats in ~5 GB but QLoRA-trains in ~12 GB, LoRA in ~21 GB,
full fine-tune in ~130 GB), so the honest answer is a different one.
The memory model is deterministic and conservative, mirroring the inference
engine's philosophy. Per-parameter byte constants and the calibration are
sourced (see FINETUNE-RESEARCH below); FitCheck deliberately lands at or above
Unsloth's published VRAM minimums, because most users run the vanilla
PEFT/TRL/bitsandbytes stack, not Unsloth's memory-optimised kernels.
Sources:
- Full FT = 16 bytes/trainable-param (fp16 weight+grad + fp32 master/mom/var):
EleutherAI Transformer Math; Google Cloud GPU-memory guide.
- QLoRA 4-bit NF4+double-quant base ~= 4.5 bits/param; paged-8bit optimiser on
the <1% trainable adapter: Dettmers et al. 2023 (arXiv:2305.14314).
- Activation term + gradient-checkpointing divisor calibrated so QLoRA totals
sit above Unsloth's requirements table.
