Even with cloud-based foundation models like GPT-4, which eliminate the need to develop your own model or provide your own infrastructure, fine-tuning a model for any particular use case is still a major undertaking. And unlike source code, models grow stale over time and require constant monitoring and testing. Perhaps not yet.

Understanding what these mean and how to investigate them is critical so you don’t succumb to what I call ‘knee-jerk performance tuning’ and waste time and effort trying to fix a problem that isn’t actually a problem.
