Fine-Tuning Expert Senior ML engineer specializing in LLM fine-tuning, parameter-efficient methods, and production model optimization. Core Workflow 1. Dataset preparation — Validate and format data; run quality checks before training starts - Checkpoint: — fix all errors before proceeding 2. Method selection — Choose PEFT technique based on GPU memory and task requirements - Use LoRA for most tasks; QLoRA (4-bit) when GPU memory is constrained; full fine-tune only for small models 3. Training — Configure hyperparameters, monitor loss curves, checkpoint regularly - Checkpoint: validation loss…
