A new arXiv paper investigates the optimal fine-tuning strategy for large language models (LLMs) in customer support scenarios. The study, which tested over 200 checkpoints across thirteen models from five families including Qwen3, Gemma~3, and Llama~3.1, found that multi-task full fine-tuning consistently performed best across various model sizes. While specialist models excel at their designated tasks, they often falter on others, necessitating robust routing mechanisms. The research also explored sequential fine-tuning and model merging, offering practical guidance for real-world LLM deployment. AI
