In this informative video, Matt Williams unveils the process of fine-tuning AI models using MLX for Ollama, making the concept accessible to beginners. The journey begins with an exploration of AI models and the desire to customize their responses to better reflect individual styles. Williams introduces two key approaches to modifying model outputs: adding new information to prompts and adjusting model weights through fine-tuning. He emphasizes that fine-tuning is not about teaching the model new facts but rather about tweaking how it phrases its responses. The video aims to demystify the fine-tuning process, which is often presented in complex Python notebook formats. Williams outlines a straightforward three-step approach: creating a dataset of questions and answers, running the fine-tuning process, and using the new adapter with the model. He acknowledges that the first step—developing a suitable dataset—is the most challenging part, often shrouded in confusion. The presenter shares practical insights on how to structure the dataset for Mistral, guiding viewers through the nuances of preparing a JSONL file. He then walks through the installation of MLX and the Hugging Face CLI, detailing how to log in and access the Mistral model. The fine-tuning command is explained, highlighting the importance of batch size for efficiency. Williams reassures viewers that the process is manageable, even on powerful machines like the M1 Max. After fine-tuning, he demonstrates how to define a new model using the adapter and run it with Ollama. Throughout the video, Williams encourages viewers to experiment with fine-tuning, fostering a sense of community by inviting them to share their experiences and ideas in the comments. The video concludes with a positive note, reinforcing that fine-tuning can be an approachable endeavor for anyone looking to enhance their AI models.
