Finetuning: This is the process of taking a pre-trained LLM and further training it on a smaller, specific dataset to adapt it for a particular task or to improve its performance. By finetuning, we are adjusting the model’s weights based on our data, making it more tailored to ou...
RAG vs. fine-tuning Users will immediately bump up against the limits of GenAI anytime there's a question that requires information that sits outside the LLM's training corpus, resulting in hallucinations, inaccuracies, or deflection. RAG fills in the gaps in knowledge that the LLM wasn't tr...
Moreover, task-specific fine-tuning of embedding models is essential to ensure that the model comprehends the user query in terms of content relevance. A model without fine-tuning may not adequately address the requirements of a spe-cific task. Consequently, fine-tuning an embedding model be-c...
The paper, with coauthors from the former Facebook AI Research (now Meta AI), University College London and New York University, called RAG “a general-purpose fine-tuning recipe” because it can be used by nearly any LLM to connect with practically any external resource. Building User Trust...

Through extensive fine-tuning, training a LLM to recognize when it’s unsure and pause instead of providing an inaccurate answer is possible. However, this training often requires exposure to numerous examples of answerable and unanswerable questions. In many cases, the model will need to learn fr...
Fine-tuning addresses this by retraining a pre-trained language model on a particular dataset or task to enhance its performance. It has been observed that LLMs can acquire a kind of implicit “knowledge base” after being previously trained on unstructured text. The work in [11] examined the...
The need for continuous model tuning and enhanced training data to mitigate these biases is underscored by these instances. Furthermore, the model’s reliance on context limited the creativity and flexibility of responses, as highly structured answers were often produced that did not always ...
