1. What is Model Fine-tuning?

Fine-tuning is the process of further a pre-trained AI model using your own data so that it better understands your specific context, style, or objectives.

2. What do your need to prepare before fine-tuning a model?

You'll need:

3. Which model should I choose for fine-tuning?

Depends on your needs:

  • Under 1B parameters: fast, cost-efficient, good for lightweight devices.

  • 7B - 13B: balanced between quality and performance.

  • Over 30B: ideal for demanding, high-quality applications.

4. How long does fine-tuning take?

It depends on:

  • Model size

  • Amount of training data.

  • Your hardware setup.

Typically, it ranges from a few hours to several days.

5. How many GPUs do you need to fine-tune a model?

It depends on the model size:

  • <1B parameters: 1 GPU (24 GB VRAM) is sufficient

  • 7B models: 2-4 GPUs (40 GB VRAM each)

  • 13B models: 4-8 GPUs recommended

  • 30B+ models: Requires 8+ GPUs and multi-node setup

6. Do I need multiple nodes or just one node?

  • For small to medium models (up to 13B), a single node with multiple GPUs is enough.

  • For larger models (30B+), multi-node setups are recommended for better memory and performance.
