Researchers have introduced AdaMeZO, a novel optimizer designed to make fine-tuning large language models more memory-efficient. Unlike traditional methods that require significant GPU memory for backpropagation, AdaMeZO utilizes a zeroth-order approach. It mimics the moment estimation of Adam but without the memory overhead, aiming to improve convergence speed over existing memory-saving techniques like MeZO. Experiments suggest AdaMeZO can achieve better performance with substantially fewer forward passes. AI
