Fine-Tuning ChatGPT

Introduction

• Overview of fine-tuning ChatGPT
• Benefits of fine-tuning:
  • Customized for specific use cases
  • Reduces costs and increases efficiency
  • Produces formatted outputs as desired

Challenges of Fine-Tuning

• Main difficulty: creating a quality dataset for fine-tuning
• Solution: Using Google Colab for easy dataset creation

Fine-Tuning Process

1. Prepare Your Data
   • Format:
     • System role
     • User role
     • Desired assistant output
   • Upload files to the platform
   • Create a fine-tuning job (typically 20 minutes duration)
   • Custom model name for later API calls

Google Colab for Synthetic Data Generation

• Introduction to Matt Schumer's Google Colab for fine-tuning

• Steps to create a dataset in Google Colab:

  1. Input a prompt for desired dataset characteristics
     • Example: "overly aggressive sarcastic Reddit commenter"
  2. Set temperature for creativity:
     • Higher temp for creative outputs
     • Lower temp for coding/logical outputs
  3. Specify the number of examples (e.g., 50)
  4. Run the initialization process

• Install necessary modules (OpenAI, Tenacity)

Generating the Dataset

• Generate Example method to obtain response from GPT-4
• Create an API key from OpenAI account and use it in the Colab
• Completion of dataset generation takes time, results in 50 examples

Setting Up System Messages

• Generate system messages to provide context for responses
• Prepare examples in a usable format for fine-tuning
• Upload the formatted file to initiate the fine-tuning process

Monitoring Fine-Tuning Job

• Status updates available during the 20-minute fine-tuning job
• Completion of the fine-tuning job results in a new custom model

Testing the Fine-Tuned Model

• Testing the model with a custom inquiry (e.g., about sushi)
• Example of generated output: sarcastic commentary on sushi

Conclusion

• Fine-tuned models can be used for personal or business chat bots
