The Fine Print
Gwen3’s “fine-tuning guide” is a masterclass in vendor lock-in:
- Step 1: Sign up for Azure.
- Step 2: Upload your data (to their servers).
- Step 3: Pray the API doesn’t leak your dataset.
The Local Way
Use llama.cpp to fine-tune offline:
./finetune.sh --dataset ./malware_logs.json --model ggml-base.bin
Requirements:
- A CPU (any CPU).
- Basic knowledge of sed.
- Zero tolerance for cloud nonsense.
