A Reddit user proposes post-training large language models as a more intellectually engaging alternative to simply benchmarking downloaded models. The user, who has four years of experience in supervised fine-tuning (SFT) for tasks like fraud detection and corporate espionage, highlights the complexity and demand for post-training services. They note that while SFT is challenging, reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) is even more complex, involving rapid inference, reward mechanisms, and weight updates, with optimal build-outs still being explored. The post emphasizes that custom post-training is primarily feasible with open-source models due to the high cost and limitations of proprietary APIs. AI
IMPACT Suggests a niche but potentially lucrative area for specialized LLM fine-tuning beyond standard benchmarking.
