pre-training
Base model education
Pre-training is the initial phase of training a machine learning model on large amounts of data before it's refined for specific tasks.
A language model might be pre-trained on billions of words from the internet, learning general patterns of language, then fine-tuned for particular applications like translation or summarization.
The prefix emphasizes that this broad training precedes more targeted instruction.
