We’ve trained models and pushed them to registries. But before putting them into production, there’s one critical step: fine-tuning the model on your own data.

There are several methods out there, but IdeaWeaver simplifies the process to a single CLI command.

It supports multiple fine-tuning strategies:

Here’s an example command using full fine-tuning:

ideaweaver finetune full \
  --model microsoft/DialoGPT-small \
  --dataset datasets/instruction_following_sample.json \
  --output-dir ./test_full_basic \
  --epochs 5 \
  --batch-size 2 \
  --gradient-accumulation-steps 2 \
  --learning-rate 5e-5 \
  --max-seq-length 256 \
  --gradient-checkpointing \
  --verbose

No need for extra setup, config files, or custom logging code. IdeaWeaver handles dataset preparation, experiment tracking, and model registry uploads out of the box.

If you're building LLM apps and want a fast, clean way to fine-tune on your own data, it's worth checking out.
