How to Fine-Tune AI Models: Techniques, Examples & Step-by-Step Guide

A general-purpose LLM can write decent marketing copy and answer trivia questions. Ask it to handle insurance claim adjudication or generate clinical notes with the correct ICD-10 codes, and it falls apart. Fine-tuning fixes this. You take a pre-trained AI model and continue training it on your data so it learns the terminology, formatting, and reasoning patterns your task requires. The result is...

Are LLMs speedrunning us into product management?

Something I've been noticing over the past year and I'm curious if others are feeling it too. Our team measured roughly 4-5x speed improvements on individual coding tasks with LLMs. But when we looked at total project delivery time, it was maybe 1.5-2x faster since we enabled claude code and got cursor licences. The gap bugged me for a while so I took a gander at our project management tooling and...

🚀 I built a 400B clipboard library for React (with an agnostic core) Copying to the clipboard sounds simple… until you try to do it properly. Permissions, async APIs, browser quirks, and UI feedback quickly turn something that should be one line into unnecessary boilerplate. So I built lite-clipboard.
