Fine-Tuning, or Supervised Fine-Tuning, retrains an existing pre-trained LLM using example data, resulting in a new "custom" fine-tuned LLM that has been optimized for the provided task-specific examples.
Typically, we use Fine-Tuning to:
- improve LLM performance on specific tasks.
- introduce information that wasn't well represented by the base LLM model.
Good use cases include:
- steering the LLM outputs in a specific style or tone.
- too long or complex prompts to fit into the LLM prompt window.
You may consider Fine-Tuning when:
- you have tried Prompt Engineering and RAG approaches.
- latency is critically important to the use case.
- high accuracy is required to meet the customer requirement.
- you have thousands of high-quality samples with ground-truth data.
- you have clear evaluation metrics to benchmark fine-tuned models.
