What is Fine-Tuning?

Fine-Tuning: an AI term, explained in plain English.

In one line

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.
