  • Prepare your data
    • Needs to be clean, task-aligned, and structured.
    • Example: For a chatbot, you might format data as prompt–response pairs.
  • Choose a base model
    • E.g., GPT-3.5 for text generation, BERT for classification, Stable Diffusion for image generation.
  • Set up training strategy
    • Options:
      • Full fine-tuning → update all weights (expensive, rare).
      • Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) → adapters, LoRA, or prefix-tuning, which add small trainable modules on top of frozen base layers.
  • Train on your dataset
    • Typically supervised learning (cross-entropy loss for text, etc.).
    • The model learns patterns specific to your task.
  • Evaluate and iterate
    • Test on held-out data.
    • Adjust hyperparameters, dataset, or approach.
