  ## What are Adapters?
  
  Adapters are small, learnable modules inserted into pre-trained transformer models, allowing for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. Instead of updating all model parameters, only the adapter parameters are trained for new tasks, significantly reducing computational cost and storage while maintaining high performance. This library unifies various adapter methods, making it easy to apply and combine them with HuggingFace Transformers.
