I Trained My Own AI... It beat ChatGPT
🎯 HEADLINE PewDiePie, with zero machine learning experience, fine-tuned an open-source AI coding model at home—and beat ChatGPT on a key benchmark after surviving hardware meltdowns and data disasters. 📝 SUMMARY PewDiePie dives into the gritty reality of training a coding AI, starting from scratch by fine-tuning the Gwen 32B model using open-source resources and Chinese research papers. He curates massive datasets from public sources, synthetic generation, and GitHub, battling contamination, poor code quality, and validation pitfalls that initially tanked performance. Through relentless iteration, he adds reasoning steps to data and optimizes for the Aider Polyglot benchmark, which tests editing code across six languages. ...
