Fine-Tuning a 7B Advisor on Free-Tier GPUs: Adapter-Handoff Recipe Published with Synthetic Data Reliability Warning
A new paper from Md Millat Hosen presents a method to fine-tune Mistral-7B-Instruct on free Kaggle/Colab GPUs using QLoRA adapter handoff. The evaluation reveals that while the fine-tuned model better matched synthetic training data, it performed worse on advising quality and factuality compared to the base model, with errors traced to the synthetic data pipeline.
