    Fine-Tuning

    Fine-tuning is the process of continuing training on a pretrained model using a smaller, task-specific dataset to adjust its weights. It adapts general capabilities to a narrower domain, style, or output format. Variants include full-parameter tuning, parameter-efficient methods such as LoRA and adapters, and instruction tuning on curated input-output pairs.

    Definition

    Fine-tuning is the process of continuing training on a pretrained model using a smaller, task-specific dataset to adjust its weights. It adapts general capabilities to a narrower domain, style, or output format. Variants include full-parameter tuning, parameter-efficient methods such as LoRA and adapters, and instruction tuning on curated input-output pairs.

    Examples

    • Tuning a base model on 5,000 medical Q&A pairs to standardize clinical phrasing.
    • LoRA adapter trained on a brand's blog posts to match its editorial voice.
    • Instruction tuning on labeled support transcripts to improve ticket triage accuracy.
