Study reveals optimal fine-tuning strategies for Qwen3 and Llama models

A new study explores the optimal hyperparameters for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of large language models, investigating factors like learning rate, batch size, and optimizer choice. The research systematically tested these variables across different model families, including Qwen3 and Llama, and various SFT datasets. Key findings address how optimal settings scale with model size and data volume, the trade-offs between LoRA and full fine-tuning, and the effectiveness of post-training gains. AI

IMPACT Provides empirical guidance for optimizing LLM fine-tuning processes, potentially improving efficiency and performance.

    Post-Training Science for Supervised Fine-Tuning

    Every supervised fine-tuning run forces the same chain of decisions, such as learning rate, batch size, LoRA or full fine-tuning, how many epochs, which optimiser, and what data to feed the model. Each of these is typically rediscovered from scratch for every new model and datase…
