Supervised fine-tuning | OpenAI API
Explains the process of supervised fine-tuning to improve model performance on specific tasks using labeled datasets.
When To Use
Use when you need to train a custom model to follow specific instructions, adopt a particular tone, or perform specialized tasks more accurately than a base model.
