LLM Fine-tuning

Adjust your Large Language Model (#LLM) to better suit your business needs.

There are different ways to adjust your Language Model (LLM) to better suit your business needs. LLM Fine-Tuning Methods include Prompt Engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning, and Full Fine-Tuning. Let's delve into each method.

  • Prompt Engineering:

Make your input more specific to your problem by providing the necessary rules and related knowledge. This approach ensures that the LLM's answers are more accurate. It's akin to consulting a senior assistant for decision-making; you would explain the details of your situation, allowing the assistant to help you arrive at a more accurate decision.

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG):

Create a similarity search-based database (vector database and embedding model) to augment the LLM's knowledge before posing a question. This method enhances the chances of returning more accurate answers to customers. Similar to a senior assistant who can search for data related to your question, read through it, and then provide you with a well-informed answer.

  • Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT):

Connect a smaller model (with fewer parameters) to the LLM and update only the smaller model during training, based on the fine-tuning dataset. This approach is comparable to hiring a junior assistant for a senior assistant, having the junior assistant learn new things and customer needs, and then collaborating to provide answers to customers.

  • Full Fine-Tuning:

Conduct supervised fine-tuning on the LLM using the fine-tuning dataset, updating the parameters of the entire LLM model. This can be likened to sending your senior assistant for advanced training to acquire new knowledge and provide better answers to customers.

 

In terms of implementation and maintenance complexity:

Prompt Engineering < Retrieval-Augmented Generation < Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning << Full Fine-Tuning.

 

In terms of the cost of implementation:

Prompt Engineering < Retrieval-Augmented Generation << Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning < Full Fine-Tuning.
