Why Model Fine-tuning?
Updated on 28 Aug 2025

Fine-tuning is useful when:

  • You need the model to mimic a specific style (e.g., brand tone).
  • Your task requires special domain knowledge (e.g., legal, financial, medical).
  • You want higher accuracy than prompt engineering or embeddings alone can give.

But it may not be needed if:

  • The task can be solved with prompt engineering or few-shot examples.
  • You only need to filter/classify content (embedding models + classifiers may suffice).
