Fine-tuning begins with an already pre-trained foundation model and updates some or all of its weights using a relatively small, labeled dataset that is specific to the desired task or domain. This adapts the general language knowledge the model already has to produce outputs that better match the new objective. Training the model from scratch, streaming new data during inference, or adding retrieval components all describe other phases or techniques rather than fine-tuning.
