Research Log: LoRA Fine-tune Testing & Baseline Parameter Selection — Feb 15, 2026
1️⃣ LoRA Fine-tuned Model Testing
Today I tested the LoRA fine-tuned model, but the process did not go smoothly.
Because only partial base model parameters were configured in the config file, and inference-related settings were not fully specified, the result was:
- Inference lasted approximately 5 hours
- High resource consumption
- Unsatisfactory final performance
The main issue stemmed from the evaluation side not imposing limits on timeout and maximum output length.
2️⃣ Baseline Model Re-evaluation
I then re-tested a baseline model with a known pass rate and compared different temperature settings:
- temperature = 0.3
- temperature = 0.4
Results:
- At 0.3, the pass rate was approximately 10%
- At 0.4, performance was less stable compared to 0.3
Therefore, subsequent evaluations will adopt temperature = 0.3 as the experimental standard.
3️⃣ Reflection
There are still concerns about whether the experiment will eventually produce meaningful results.
However, today’s progress includes:
- Identifying and isolating configuration-related issues
- Determining a more appropriate temperature through comparison
- Keeping the evaluation pipeline logically consistent
Even without breakthrough results, the experiment continues in a structured and disciplined manner.
