The passage around this formula
with the forward pass computing h = x + W x against the frozen base weight . The method’s authors report reducing the number of trainable parameters by roughly ten thousand times and GPU memory requirements by roughly three times relative to full fine-tuning of a 175-billion-parameter model, while matching or exceeding full fine-tuning quality and adding no additional inference latency, since the low-rank update can be merged back into the base weight at deployment time [ 1 ] . QLoRA extends the same idea to quantized base weights, and its authors report finetuning a 65-billion-parameter model on a single 48-gigabyte GPU while preserving full 16-bit finetuning performance,…

Addition combines quantities; subtraction measures the signed difference between them. Parentheses show what is combined before the rest of the expression is evaluated.
