Why it matters

This is where Phase 6 comes together. A team wants the brand's chat assistant to follow the brand guidelines more reliably. You'll fine-tune candidates, evaluate them the way a careful team would, decide whether to ship, and document the result: the same workflow, at miniature scale, that labs and companies run before releasing a tuned model.

What you'll be able to do

  • Run a release review: train a candidate, evaluate it on every criterion, and apply release gates
  • Diagnose a failed candidate and fix it by changing the training data
  • Explain why a single headline metric, or a raw loss, can hide regressions
  • Write a model card that records what the model is for, how it was made and how it scored
