AGZO: Activation-Guided Zeroth-Order Optimization for LLM Fine-Tuning
Publisher summary· verbatim
arXiv:2601.17261v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Zeroth-Order (ZO) optimization has emerged as a promising solution for fine-tuning LLMs under strict memory constraints, as it avoids the prohibitive memory cost of storing activations for backpropagation. However, existing ZO methods typically emp
