Abstract

FPO adapts large language models efficiently without a backward pass, achieving significant throughput and memory savings while maintaining performance.

Reality Card

Core Claim

FPO achieves 2.7-3.2x throughput of standard fine-tuning with ~40% less peak training memory while maintaining performance on off-domain benchmarks.

Method / Result

FPO computes a single error signal at the output and applies it to each target layer, resulting in in-domain perplexity improvement.

Limitations

The method does not construct an autograd graph, which may limit its applicability to certain model architectures.
