On the second day of “shipmas,” Sam Altman previewed for me... model fine-tuning ability
For day 2 of OpenAI’s “12 days of OpenAI” event, the company showed a preview of a new feature that will let users customize its models for specialized uses such as legal, financial, engineering, and insurance applications.
Opening up the ability for developers to easily use “reinforcement fine-tuning” — a technique the company uses internally to improve its models — will help developers create “expert models fine-tuned to excel at specific sets of complex, domain-specific tasks,” the company said.
OpenAI archrival Meta has touted the ability to distill or refine its largely open Llama 3.1 AI model for any application.
As the big foundational AI models achieve a degree of feature parity, the ability to tailor them to specialized applications with custom data will become more important in an already competitive landscape.
OpenAI is accepting applications from researchers who work in law, medicine, healthcare, finance, or engineering to help test the tool, which the company said will be publicly available early next year.
