Fine-tuning

noun

1.Taking a pre-built AI model and retraining it on your own specific data to make it better at a particular job - like giving a general-purpose toolbox a custom upgrade for plumbing work. It's why Alibaba's new model might outperform competitors: they've likely fine-tuned it for their own needs.
