Building a Fine-Tuning Dataset From Production Logs

Production logs are the best training data you will ever have and the most dangerous. They are real inputs in the real distribution — and they are full of your current model’s outputs, which is exactly what you must not train on. Selection is the entire job A log dump is not a dataset. Ninety percent of production traffic is the model already doing the right thing, and training on it teaches nothing you do not already have. The examples worth including are the ones carrying infor...

How Much Data Do You Need to Fine-Tune?

The honest answer is between 500 and 500,000, and which end you are at depends almost entirely on whether you are teaching behaviour or coverage. Fortunately the question is cheap to answer empirically, and the procedure at the end of this page is worth more than any number. Why the number is unanswerable as asked “How many examples” conflates two quantities that behave completely differently. One is how many examples it takes for the model to learn the pattern — the output sha...

Fine-Tuning Failures: The Modes and How to Tell Them Apart

The dangerous fine-tuning failures are not the ones that raise an exception. They are the ones where the run completes, the loss curve looks plausible and the model is quietly wrong — and the way to catch those is to know what each failure mode looks like from the outside. Failures that crash Out of memory partway through, not at the start A run that survives a thousand steps and then raises CUDA out of memory did not gradually leak. It met the longest sequence in ...

Licensing: What You May Legally Fine-Tune and Deploy

This page is not legal advice, and nothing in it is a substitute for reading the licence attached to the specific checkpoint you are using or for asking a qualified lawyer. Licence texts are revised, differ between releases in the same family, and sometimes differ between sizes in the same release. What follows is a map of what to read and which clauses tend to matter. Four separate licences, not one “Can I use this model commercially?” is four questions wearing one coat. Each la...

Need your help: I built an AI that drafts replies in your voice because English isn't my first language, free for the first 10 people who'll tell me if it's worth building

I got my first few orders !!!

I posted on reddit about what I was building and got a few orders out of it, I honestly was so happy for a few days I just kept refreshing my email to see if I got new orders. But now it's like a dopamine crash and I'm realizing that I need to do way more work to make this sustainable. I've been reaching out to content creators and they've agreed to try my app and some of them said they wanted to feature it in their content which feels very positive ! Now I'm just trying to figure out the ...

Anyone else find getting the first real users way harder than actually building the thing?

We’ve been building a marketplace for the last few months and the product side honestly hasn’t been the hardest part. The annoying bit is getting enough people on there early so it actually feels alive. You can build all the features you want, but if someone signs up and there’s barely anything happening, they’re probably not coming back. We’ve been trying to work out how much stuff we should seed ourselves versus just getting it out there and letting people use it naturally. For anyone ...

Why is payroll still separate from construction workforce software?

This has been bugging me because construction platforms have so much of the information payroll needs Employee hours, crews, job assignments and sometimes even job costing are already there yet payroll gets put into another system If you're building construction software, is embedded payroll becoming something customers ask for or do most still prefer connecting their existing payroll provider?

My software is finally making money

It took me many months, but I have 33 users some of them paying users but many free or inactive. Till now I have been posting on my uni groups to get users,talking to people on the street and having a chat with coworkers, making reels/shorts/tiktoks and seo. What I have not done yet is run ads. I am unsure of ads, I have never run ads before and I am scared I will waste a bunch of money. A lot of people have recommended reddit and not meta for my niche. It still feels surreal to see ...
