Research shows that fine-tuning on multiple tasks described by natural language instructions can markedly improve a model's zero-shot performance on unseen tasks; but the effect depends on model size and data composition, and some papers point out that instruction fine-tuning may be harmful for small models.

UnverifiedSmaller models can handle fewer instructions than larger models, and non-reasoning models can handle fewer instructions than reasoning models.77% similarUnverifiedFine-tuning uses a small amount of labeled data to adapt the model to a specific task or align it with human preferences.76% similarVerifiedA well-aligned model will guide meta-prompts toward compliant creative expression, while an insufficiently aligned model may exhibit unexpected behavior.76% similarUnverifiedWorks such as FLAN and T0 systematically verified that after fine-tuning on a large number of natural language instruction tasks, models' zero-shot performance on unseen tasks improves significantly; task diversity in instruction data matters more than sample size for a single task.75% similarUnverifiedThe language model zero-shot decision-making approach relies on the premise that task complexity does not exceed the boundaries of the model's existing knowledge.75% similar
