Start a Fine-tune

Once you have a dataset with enough examples (see Quantity & Quality of Data) and have connected a model provider that supports fine-tuning, you are ready to fine-tune a model.

To start a fine-tune, go to Models, press the + button, and choose "Start a fine-tune."

On the next screen, you can select your template and model provider. You can also see the token counts and estimated time and/or cost if available.

For most fine-tuning jobs, the template should be very minimal. You do not need to include a lengthy instructional prompt, although in small datasets a very short prompt or semantic labels for your field references can help cue desired behavior.

In the next section, we'll discuss common fine-tuning hyperparameters and how to set them.
