Fine-Tuning Llama 3.2 3B on Medical QA: Week 1 Setup and Baseline Inference
The article discusses the fine-tuning of the Llama 3.2 3B model for medical question-answering. It highlights the limitations of general-purpose language models in healthcare and the importance of using curated medical datasets for training. The author outlines the project's goals, infrastructure, and the dataset chosen for fine-tuning.
- ▪General-purpose LLMs can produce clinically unreliable answers, which is problematic in healthcare.
- ▪The author is fine-tuning Llama 3.2 3B on a medical QA dataset to improve accuracy.
- ▪The project will include a public GitHub repository, a fine-tuned model on Hugging Face, and a live inference API.
