Fine-Tuning Open Source LLMs: A Hands-On Guide for Engineers

A comprehensive, practitioner-focused field guide for evaluating and fine-tuning open-source models using Axolotl, LoRA, and curated evaluation benchmarks. Covers data synthesis, loss curve diagnosis, and catastrophic forgetting mitigation.

Model & Execution Context:Tested across LLaMA, Mistral, and DeepSeek model families using Axolotl and Hugging Face PEFT.
Scope & Limitations

Focuses on instruction-tuning and task adaptation; pre-training from scratch requires massive compute clusters outside the scope of this guide.

Your AI Product Needs Evals: Comprehensive Guide to Unit Testing & LLM Evaluation

Comprehensive framework for creating automated evaluation loops, synthetically augmented test sets, and LLM-as-a-judge scoring harnesses that measure production degradation before deployment.

Model & Execution Context:Promptfoo, Braintrust, Python, OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenPipe.
Scope & Limitations

LLM-as-a-judge evaluators can exhibit self-preference bias and positional bias if uncalibrated against human baseline judgments.
