Parameter Efficiency Is Not Memory Efficiency: Rethinking Fine-Tuning for On-Device LLM Adaptation

2026-04-28

Summary

Challenges the conventional wisdom that Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methodologies lead to memory efficiency and proposes the Low-memory Activation-Rank Subspace (LARS) framework for on-device LLM adaptation by constraining activation subspaces that grow linearly with sequence length.

  • LARS directly addresses the main cause of memory consumption by constraining activation subspaces used during training instead of model parameters.
  • LARS reduces memory usage by an average of 33.54% on GPUs and 51.95% on CPUs compared to LoRA, while maintaining competitive accuracy and throughput.
  • Demonstrated to provide a scalable path for LLM personalization on resource-constrained hardware and edge devices by deploying on Raspberry Pi and consumer CPUs.

  • Measures intrinsic non-randomness through Entropy Deviation (ED) under the premise that language models cannot be completely random.
  • Transformer models show an ED of about 0.30 even with semantically neutral prompts, suggesting that 88-93% of the non-randomness observed in meaningful prompts is intrinsic to the learned weights.
  • Three Transformer-family models, Gemma, Llama, and Qwen, show almost identical ED values despite different training data and vocabularies.
  • State Space Models (Mamba2) show qualitatively different characteristics from Transformers, with 2x higher ED and sensitivity to temperature.
  • Cross-language experiments using Qwen-32B show that language modulates intrinsic non-randomness regardless of tokenization.
