LSP-Offload is a novel framework enabling efficient fine-tuning of large language models on commodity GPUs by intelligently offloading computation to CPU with minimal performance loss.

• Addresses the critical bottleneck of limited GPU memory for LLM fine-tuning
• Overcomes traditional CPU-GPU bandwidth limitations through learned sparse projectors
• Achieves near-native processing speeds despite offloading computationally intensive operations
• Democratizes LLM fine-tuning for researchers and developers with standard hardware setups

This engineering breakthrough makes advanced LLM development more accessible and cost-effective, reducing the hardware barriers to entry for AI research and implementation.
