19 Tips to Better AI Fine Tuning



AI Summary

Video Summary

  • Topic: Fine-tuning language models
  • Key Points:
    • Fine-tuning adjusts a model’s focus and utilization of existing knowledge, not adding new information.
    • It’s like specializing a general practitioner in a specific medical field.
    • Fine-tuning is not effective for adding new knowledge; techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) are better suited for that.
    • Fine-tuning is useful for domain adaptation and style matching, not for occasional specific responses or adding current information.
    • Overfitting can occur if fine-tuning with too little data, leading to a loss of generalization.
    • Quality training data is essential, and it should be consistent, error-free, and relevant.
    • Base model selection is crucial, considering size, resources, and licensing.
    • Smaller models like GPT-3.2 3B are often adequate and more practical for most projects.
    • Upcoming series will cover fine-tuning tools like Axel, UNS sloth, and mlx, each with its own advantages.
