Guide to LLM Fine-Tuning: LoRA, RLHF, and SFT Explained

This article provides a guide to understanding and selecting appropriate fine-tuning methods for Large Language Models (LLMs). It outlines three key questions to help differentiate between techniques like LoRA, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). The guide also addresses when fine-tuning is necessary and how base models learn to follow instructions. AI

IMPACT Helps developers choose the right fine-tuning strategy for their LLM projects.
