ProjectsFine-Tuned LLM for a Niche Domain
Part of the AI Engineer Roadmap.
Summary
A model fine-tuned (via LoRA/QLoRA) for a specific domain or style — demonstrates you can go beyond prompting when a task genuinely needs it.
How to Learn This
- 1Pick a narrow, well-defined domain where fine-tuning has a clear advantage over prompting.
- 2Document your dataset construction process — it's usually the most interesting part to reviewers.
- 3Report a clear before/after comparison against the base model.
