AI summary

Fine-tuning AI models is described. According to some aspects, a set of one or more data objects are selected. Based on the selection, a set of one or more of a plurality of categories is selected. Also, one of a number of pre-trained AI models is selected based on the set of categories and implicit input. In addition, one of a number of fine-tuning methods is selected. The selected set of categories identify a selected subset of categorized data items in the selected set of data objects. The selected AI model is fine-tuned using the selected fine-tuning method and a version of the selected subset of categorized data items.
