Remember reinforcement fine-tuning? We’ve been working away at it since last December, and it’s available today with OpenAI o4-mini! RFT uses chain-of-thought reasoning and task-specific grading to improve model performance—especially useful for complex domains. Take Accordance, which used RFT to fine-tune a model that’s SOTA for their tax and accounting purposes. And in supervised fine-tuning news: you can now fine-tune GPT-4.1 nano. Get even more from our fastest, cheapest model by training it specifically for your use-case.

OpenAI engineer explained every form of fine-tuning in 1 hour 46 minutes - better than $3000 fine-tuning bootcamps. pick your task -> try prompting first -> drop to SFT for style -> run DPO for preference -> run RFT for verifiable rewards -> ship a model 10x cheaper than GPT-5. That loop is why teams that fine-tune beat teams that only prompt on cost and speed. Prompting + SFT + DPO + RFT + OpenAI fine-tuning API - that's the stack. Watch and save it, then pick the right fine-tune for your task this week.

Introducing PorTAL: Portable Task Adapters for LLMs. A novel recipe to cheaply port fine-tuning between models. It matches per task LoRA accuracy at half the cost, lowering the switching overhead of adapting tasks across LLMs. At Ramp, every new model release used to mean retraining our fine-tunes from scratch. PorTAL learns the task once, then efficiently refits it onto any new base model, even across model families.

Ex-JPMorgan engineer who wrote the LLM Course explained everything about fine-tuning and merging in 18 minutes - better than $2500 fine-tuning bootcamps. pick the base -> LoRA or QLoRA -> then DPO or KTO for alignment -> merge two fine-tunes into one stronger model -> ship a model that beats the base on your task. That loop is why Labonne's merges sit at the top of the Hugging Face leaderboard. LoRA + QLoRA + DPO + KTO + mergekit - that's the stack. Watch and save it, then merge your first two fine-tunes this week.

An exciting new course: Fine-tuning and Reinforcement Learning for LLMs: Intro to Post-training, taught by Sharon Zhou, VP of AI at AMD. Available now at Post-training is the key technique used by frontier labs to turn a base LLM--a model trained on massive unlabeled text to predict the next word/token--into a helpful, reliable assistant that can follow instructions. I've also seen many applications where post-training is what turns a demo application that works only 80% of the time into a reliable system that consistently performs. This course will teach you the most important post-training techniques! In this 5 module course, Sharon walks you through the complete post-training pipeline: supervised fine-tuning, reward modeling, RLHF, and techniques like PPO and GRPO. You'll also learn to use LoRA for efficient training, and to design evals that catch problems before and after deployment. Skills you'll gain: - Apply supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning (RLHF, PPO, GRPO) to align models to desired behaviors - Use LoRA for efficient fine-tuning without retraining entire models - Prepare datasets and generate synthetic data for post-training - Understand how to operate LLM production pipelines, with go/no-go decision points and feedback loops These advanced methods aren’t limited to frontier AI labs anymore, and you can now use them in your own applications.

New Course: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning LLMs with GRPO! Learn to use reinforcement learning to improve your LLM performance in this short course, built in collaboration with Predibase by Rubrik, and taught by Travis Addair, its Co-Founder and CTO, and Arnav Garg, its Senior Engineer and Machine Learning Lead. Reasoning models have been one of the most important developments in LLMs. Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT) uses rewards to encourage LLMs to find solutions to multi-step reasoning tasks such as solving math problems and debugging code - without needing pre-existing training examples like in traditional supervised fine-tuning. Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a reinforcement fine-tuning algorithm gaining rapid adoption. Developed by the DeepSeek team and used to train the R1 reasoning model, GRPO uses reward functions that you can write in Python to assign rewards to model responses. It’s beneficial for tasks with verifiable outcomes and can work well even with fewer than 100 training examples. It can also significantly improve the reasoning ability of smaller LLMs, making applications faster and more cost effective. In this course, you’ll take a technical deep dive into RFT with GRPO. You’ll learn to build reward functions that you can use in the GRPO training process to guide an LLM toward better performance on multi-step reasoning tasks. In detail, you’ll: - Learn when reinforcement fine-tuning is a better fit than supervised fine-tuning, especially for tasks involving multi-step reasoning or limited labeled data. - Understand how GRPO uses programmable reward functions as a more scalable alternative to the human feedback required for other reinforcement learning algorithms, such as RLHF and DPO. - Frame the Wordle game as a reinforcement fine-tuning problem and see how an LLM can learn to plan, analyze feedback, and improve its strategy over time. - Design reward functions that power the reinforcement fine-tuning process. - Learn techniques for evaluating more subjective tasks, such as rating the quality of a text summary, using an LLM as a judge. - Understand why reward hacking happens and how to avoid it by adding penalty functions to discourage undesirable behaviors. - Learn the four key components of the loss calculation in the GRPO algorithm: token probability distribution ratios, advantages, clipping, and KL-divergence. - Launch reinforcement fine-tuning jobs using Predibase’s hosted training services. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build and fine-tune LLMs using reinforcement learning to improve reasoning without relying on large labeled datasets or subjective human feedback.

Many people are flat wrong about DeepSeek. You might think everyone freaked out about DeepSeek because the model is really good—which it is—or because it was from China, which is also true. But there's a more subtle reason: DeepSeek showed they could achieve those results using reinforcement learning instead of supervised fine-tuning. In other words, they didn't need an expensive phase where a bunch of people tuned the model by answering questions. They were able to do all of this faster and cheaper using reinforcement fine-tuning. This is a huge deal! I recorded the attached video with the following goals in mind: 1. Explain how reinforcement fine-tuning works 2. Show you how you can fine-tune your own models 3. Walk you through a complete code example

Learn a development pattern to systematically improve the accuracy and reliability of LLM applications in our new short course, Improving Accuracy of LLM Applications, built in partnership with Lamini and Meta, and taught by Lamini’s CEO Sharon Zhou, and Meta’s Senior Director of Partner Engineering, Amit Sangani. (Disclosure: I am an investor in Lamini.) The path to tuning an LLM application can be complex. In this course, you'll learn a systematic sequence of steps for improving accuracy by reducing hallucinations: - Create an evaluation dataset to measure model accuracy - Add prompt engineering and self-reflection - Fine-tune your model including "memory-tuning" which is a new method of embedding facts in an LLM Using the Llama 3-8B parameter model, you will: - Build a text-to-SQL agent with a custom schema and simulate situations where it hallucinates - Understand the difference between instruction fine-tuning, which gives pre-trained LLMs instructions to follow, and memory fine-tuning - See how Performance-Efficient Fine-tuning (PEFT) techniques like Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) reduce training time by 100x and Mixture of Memory Experts (MoME) reduces it even further I appreciate Meta releasing the Llama's family of open models -- this course gives an example of the unique type of work that developers can do with such models.
