- 13Fine-tuning vs prompting vs RAGday 26 · LLM Engineering in 30 Days
You'll learn how to use a 50-question labelled eval to sort LLM failures into retrieval, generation and behaviour misses, and how to choose between prompt fixes, RAG fixes and fine-tuning based on what you find.
- 21Why to exhaust prompt engineering before fine-tuning a LoRAday 16 · AI Fundamentals in 30 Days
A team fine-tuned a model to fix a classification bug, celebrated in Slack, and then quietly reverted it — because a rewritten prompt matched it for free and cost nothing to maintain.
- 20When to rewrite the prompt instead of fine-tuning a modelday 15 · AI Fundamentals in 30 Days
A team burned three weeks training a model before an afternoon prompt rewrite did the actual job — here's the order you're supposed to try things in, and the two questions that would've caught it before week one.
