Description

Hi,

It seems like that the GeneralLoRAFromPeft class currently provides a load method for loading a LoRA model, but there doesn’t appear to be a built-in way to unload it (at least from what we’ve seen).

From what we understood, the load function merges LoRA weights into the base model. As a result, switching between different LoRA models requires reloading the base model each time, which significantly impacts inference performance.

Could you please provide some guidance on how to properly unload a LoRA model and then load a different one, while keeping the base model unchanged?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by inspecting the GeneralLoRAFromPeft class and its load method to determine whether loading merges LoRA weights into the base model. Trace how the base model and LoRA weights are managed; done should allow switching to another LoRA without re-loading or altering the base model.
