A practical approach. ### Where this service fits Fine-tuning adapts model behavior using reviewed examples. Consider it when an evaluated baseline repeatedly fails on a defined format, classification, terminology, or interaction pattern. Quantlix compares adaptation with improvements to instructions and retrieval before choosing a training path. Changing company facts still needs a maintained source of truth. ### Workflow and acceptance criteria A useful evaluation separates training examples from held-out tasks and tests both the intended improvement and regressions in other behavior. Discuss dataset rights, sensitive information, labeling consistency, model licenses, and recurring evaluation cost. Illustrative task: classify maintenance notes into an agreed taxonomy while retaining an uncertain category for ambiguous records. Acceptance depends on representative errors and their consequences, not a training score. ### What to bring to discovery Fine-tuning changes model behavior through examples. Quantlix first defines the behavior that matters and a baseline to compare against. A dataset can reinforce errors or expose sensitive material. Start with reviewed examples and test difficult cases before choosing a production release. ## Where we can help A focused scope, shaped around your priorities. ### Dataset preparation Review example quality, permissions, labels and sensitive information. ### Targeted adaptation Train for a defined task, style or output format. ### Comparative evaluation Compare the adapted model with prompts and existing baselines. ## A measurable adaptation loop Separate training examples from evaluation tasks to assess useful generalization. - Reviewed examples - Adapted model - Held-out evaluation - Release decision ## What the work puts in your hands Agree on useful, reviewable deliverables before the work begins. - Dataset specification - Adapted model artifacts - Evaluation report - Deployment recommendation ### Reference points These resources inform the conversation. Applicable requirements are agreed for your project. - [NIST AI Risk Management Framework](https://www.nist.gov/itl/ai-risk-management-framework) ## Good work starts with a shared understanding. Very small PODs bring together an expert in the specific domain and engineers selected for relevant prior industry experience. The team connects operational context with software decisions. Responsibilities, collaboration and support are agreed for each engagement. Each engagement starts with an agreed scope and a project-specific quote.

Agree on the scope and what a useful outcome looks like. ### Make the direction tangible Use working sessions, research and early drafts to explore the options. Review the tradeoffs with your team before committing to a direction. ### Work in reviewable increments Bring the agreed work into focus through regular reviews. Document the decisions, hand over the deliverables and plan any ongoing support. ## Questions, answered The practical details to consider before starting. **When should we fine-tune?** Consider fine-tuning for repeated task behavior after testing simpler prompting and retrieval approaches. **Does fine-tuning keep facts current?** Frequently changing facts usually need retrieval or system integration alongside the model. **What data is required?** Use representative, permissioned examples with consistent expected outputs and a separate evaluation set. ## Connect the right services Explore the work that can support the next part of your project.
