Training an existing AI model a little more on your own examples, so it gets better at one task or speaks in one style.

In simple words
A chef who can cook everything joins your restaurant. You spend a week showing him your recipes. Now he cooks your dishes perfectly.
That extra week of training is fine-tuning.
The technical side
Fine-tuning continues training a pre-trained model on a smaller, task-specific dataset, adjusting its weights. Full fine-tuning updates every parameter; cheaper methods such as LoRA train a small set of extra weights instead. Many providers sell fine-tuning through their APIs, and open-weights models can be fine-tuned on your own GPUs.
For adding facts that change often, RAG is usually cheaper and easier to keep up to date than fine-tuning.
Fine-Tuning kya hai?
Fine-tuning matlab pehle se bane AI model ko apne examples se thoda aur sikhana, taaki wo ek kaam mein expert ban jaaye.
