🤔 What does fine-tuning actually mean?🤔 Does it help or hurt LLM performance? Do generalized or fine-tuned LLMs perform better in a legal context? And what about the risks of model drift? The rise of LLMs in legal has introduced a flood of new terminology in the field, and fine-tuning is one concept that deserves your attention. Here’s why:   👉Fine-tuning helps determine how well an LLM performs for specific tasks. 👉When done incorrectly, it can hurt rather than help results. 👉When done right, fine-tuned models deliver significant improvements for legal workflows. Thankfully, the DraftWise team has an expert to break it all down. David Michael Smythe, Senior NLP Engineer, shares his insights on fine-tuning and its potential to transform legal work in our latest blog post. 📌 Read the blog post here: https://lnkd.in/g5DsYDDm #legalAI #legaltech #GenAI

Last week, James Ding, DraftWise Co-founder and CEO, sat down for a conversation with Jordan Taylor, Vizcom CEO and Founder, moderated by Sofia Dolfe, Partner at Index Ventures, to discuss what they’ve seen as two technology leaders in spaces traditionally resistant to change. "The lawyer remains the creator of the strategy, but they’ll use AI to help better understand the market and grab insights and data that they wouldn't otherwise have. But ultimately, you need a human in the seat because business transactions are agreements between humans." - James Ding Catch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/g4vmNAuF #legalAI #GenAI #legaltech #TCDisrupt
