About
A two-person lab working on catastrophic forgetting in fine-tuned language models.
The name
Oblìo is Italian for oblivion; oblìo catastrofico is the standard rendering of catastrophic forgetting. We took the name from the effect itself: capability acquired earlier does not survive the training that comes later.

What we do
We take continual learning strategies built for full-parameter training and test whether they hold up on LoRA and QLoRA adapters. Most of the work is measurement: forgetting is easy to describe and hard to quantify.
Infrastructure
We develop and test on local hardware, and rent cloud capacity when a model needs to run in production.
