• hightopics#2

  Add explicit PEFT and LLM finetuning topics.

  Why:

  CURRENT

  interpretability, reft, representation-finetuning

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  reft, representation-finetuning, peft, llm-finetuning, parameter-efficient-finetuning, deep-learning, llm-adaptation

• mediumreadme#3

  Add a concise "Why pyreft?" section near the top of the README.

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Add a new section immediately after the installation instructions, titled 'Why pyreft? The ReFT Advantage', summarizing in 2-3 sentences how ReFT differs from and improves upon traditional PEFTs like LoRA, e.g., 'While sharing common ground with PEFTs like LoRA, pyreft focuses on directly manipulating internal representations, offering unique advantages for fine-tuning and interpretability that go beyond simple weight modifications. This approach enables more granular control and novel applications in LLM adaptation.'
