Confusion between Gemini and Copilot
Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini are sending me mixed signals on whether MAI’s Phi (Microsoft’s on-device small language models) models support LoRA adapters or any sort of community fine tuning.
Copilot is saying no, and Gemini is saying yes.
I need to talk with real Microsoft engineers to confirm with Microsoft if their Phi models support LoRA adapters or not.

Hi szq2014, both answers can be partly right depending on which Phi model and deployment path you mean. Microsoft does support LoRA in some Phi-related scenarios, such as Phi Silica and fine-tuning paths in Azure/Foundry, but that does not automatically mean every Phi model or local runtime supports it. I would check the exact model card and Microsoft documentation for that variant
