pretrains

Trains before training

Pretrains is the act of training a machine learning model on a large general dataset before fine-tuning it for a specific task.

The prefix captures the sequence: you pretrain on broad data, then specialize.

The team pretrains the model on millions of web pages before adapting it for medical texts.

Most commonly appears as the past participle pretrained.
