You’re assuming a lot more intercompany coordination than would exist. Even though it’s research by Microsoft labs, the researchers themselves are to a large extent autonomous and also narrow experts in their fields.

This process involves low rank approximations -> Lora is a namey sounding term that uses characters from low and rank -> call it LoRA in the paper. That’s all there was to it. Probably didn’t even know the other lora existed.
