Fine-tuning for specific tasks. I'm hoping to see some good examples of that soon - the blog entry mentions things like structured text extraction, so maybe something like "turn this text about an event into an iCal document" might work?

Google helpfully made some docs on how to fine-tune this model [0]. I'm looking forward to giving it a try!

Fine tuning messes with instruction following and RL'd behavior. I think this is mostly going to be useful for high volume pipelines doing some sort of mundane extraction or transformation.

This is exactly the fine-tuning I am hoping for, or I would do if I had the skills. I tried it with gemma3 270M and vanilla it fails spectacularly.

Basically it would be the quickadd[1] event from google calendar, but calendar agnostic.
