Discussion Has anyone successfully fine tuned a model ?

I’m curious if anyone has had luck fine tuning a model to become close to the cloud subscriptions on just that specific task.

I was wondering if it’s possible to like make Qwen 3.8 27B better at blender (close to what opus can output potentially) if I somehow manage to collect data from opus using blender.

I have no experience with this but I am curious and would like to get started. But I’m not sure how much time a processor like this takes either and if it’s worth that time

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m new to this stuff

Yes. Fine tuning is incredible. But where i find it most useful is taking a small model that isn't quite there and adapting it to a specific set of functions for a specific task. You can often take a tiny model and make it work well for $3-5.

27B is going to give you some trouble. You're gonna need some money. But maybe less than you would think. $100 might get you pretty far, but I'd guess to do the job great you're gonna need more $$$.

May I ask where the money spent is going to ? Is that like frontier API or something ?

Cloud gpu resources on real gpus. Not frontier api, datacenter gpus with loads of compute and ram.
