Well, one key benefit is better personalization and localization, like supporting local languages or dialects and addressing cultural norms. Another could be supporting new domains that regular models don't work as well with, such as answering questions on accessibility. So let's get into fine-tuning or training based models on your data. To train a model from scratch involves three main steps. First, gathering and organizing the data you need. Second, choosing the design or setup of the model, also known as model architecture, and third, running the actual training process. But there is another approach known as fine-tuning. Fine-tuning is a process that builds on top of an existing model by enhancing it with data that the…
