Fine-Tuning Failures: The Modes and How to Tell Them Apart
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
The dangerous fine-tuning failures are not the ones that raise an exception. They are the ones where the run completes, the loss curve looks plausible and the model is quietly wrong — and the way to catch those is to know what each failure mode looks like from the outside. Failures that crash Out of memory partway through, not at the start A run that survives a thousand steps and then raises CUDA out of memory did not gradually leak.
