How AI works AI Dictionary

Fine-tuning

Training an existing AI model a bit more on specific examples so it gets better at a particular task or style.

Instead of building a model from scratch, you take a general one and teach it your niche with a smaller dataset.

Example

Fine-tuning an image model on your own illustrations so it can create new ones in your style.

Why it matters to you

It's how many specialised tools are made from general models.
