There’s a not insignificant intersection of projects and developers who might be using both LoRA and LoRa at the same time. What a terrible name collision. Hopefully this doesn’t become one of the foundational terms in AI that everyone must use frequently like “Transformer”.

I was going to comment the same, horrible name collision. Surprised they didn't notice it.

transformer itself is ambiguous
But to be clear, LoRa is not related to ANN training, is it? Why would they be using both?

transformer and adapter are two of the new "ai terms" that grind my gears

Isn't there something really perfect about people working on a language model either not trying or outright failing to use that language model to tell them if their project name already exists?
On their github they reference a related project called "HuggingFace" so you know the sky's the limit with the names in this field, could have been called anything else really.

Quick jargon literacy boost: "HuggingFace" is a platform tailored to hosting and sharing ML repositories -- like Github for AI. The parent company, "Hugging Face", is also in and of itself a major contributor to several AI research projects & tooling.
Ironically, they still managed to hit a namespace collision... albeit self-inflicted.

the actual platform is called "HuggingFace Hub". The company itself is called "HuggingFace" or "Hugging Face" (I have seen it referred to in both ways, I am unsure which is officially correct). There is no namespace collision.

The formal business name is “Hugging Face, Inc” [0], but only because the lawyers managed to talk them out of using a literal “”

I think you’ve illustrated the problem the lawyers were protecting them from.

Is this really a big problem? LoRa is a telecom thing. LoRA is a machine learning thing. Yeah, they're adjacent industries but still seems different enough to make it pretty easy to distinguish. I had never heard of the LoRa alliance until you mentioned it in this comment.
