Fine-Tuning Reasoning Models for Domain-Specific Enterprise Contracts
A practical guide to Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) on reasoning LLMs for specialized legal and financial compliance.
### Tailoring Deep Reasoning Models to Domain Rules
General-purpose reasoning LLMs are capable of step-by-step logic, but often lack precise understanding of regional regulatory frameworks or internal enterprise schemas.
#### Training Workflow
1. Curating 10,000 verified chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning pairs.
2. Unsloth QLoRA fine-tuning on 4x RTX 4090 GPUs.
3. DPO preference alignment to penalize speculative hallucination.
