Fine-Tuning & LoRA Simulator
Simulate adapting a base model to specialized tasks using LoRA rank parameters. Inspect training curves, overfitting, and behavior changes.
Concept Breakdown: Instruction Tuning (LoRA) vs Semantic Retrieval
Training a model from scratch costs $10 Million. Fine-tuning is like giving an already-educated doctor a specialized cardiology handbook (LoRA) so they become a heart expert overnight for $5.
Need fresh changing facts (like product prices or news)? Use RAG. Need the AI to mimic your tone of voice or write strict JSON output? Use Fine-Tuning.
