Adding Expertise to GenAI: An Insightful Study on Fine-Tuning
by Bernard Murphy on 11-12-2025 at 6:00 am

AI Model Tuner

I wrote earlier about how deep expertise, say for high-quality RTL design or verification, must be extracted from in-house know-how and datasets. In general, such methods start with one of many possible pre-trained models (GPT, Llama, Gemini, etc.). To this consultants or in-house teams add fine-tuning training, initially… Read More
