The Cranky Man’s Guide to LoRA & QLoRA: Personal Lessons from a Thousand LLM Fine-Tuning Fails by F.P. Ham
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.6 MB
Overview: If you’re tired of the AI hype, sick of impenetrable techno-babble, and ready to get your hands dirty fine-tuning your own Large Language Models, this is the book you’ve been searching for.
Written in a distinctly cranky, humorous, and often cynical voice by an experienced programmer who didn’t just use the AI tools—he built them—this guide cuts through the jargon to deliver hard-won lessons from a thousand failures. This is the story of one man’s obsessive quest to create the ultimate AI model, sharing the successes, the near misses, and the total disasters.
Most AI books are filled with abstract theory. This is not one of them.
The Cranky Man’s Guide to LoRA & QLoRA is built around a massive, hands-on practical section that puts you directly in the trenches. You’ll follow complete, end-to-end projects that show the real, messy process of building a model—from scraping raw data to evaluating the final adapter. Through detailed, step-by-step examples like The Sydney Experiment (training a chaotic chatbot), The Plot-Bot Project (building a creative plot writer), and a deep dive into Jane Austen Style Transfer, you’ll get the battle-tested workflows you need to start training today. If you learn by doing, this is the only guide you’ll need.
