Use case
Which conversations should I fine-tune on?
Fine-tuning amplifies whatever you feed it, including mistakes. Measure which examples actually improve the agent before they become weights.
The problem
Fine-tuning runs cost money and bake data in. Teams pick training examples by feel, every bad example becomes a learned behavior that is expensive to unlearn.
The workflow
Baseline
Score the agent over your eval set before any tuning.
Value
Measure each candidate example's marginal effect with a confidence interval, against fresh controls.
Select
Build the training portfolio under budget; regressions and redundant examples are rejected with a reason.
Export
Render the selected examples as a tuning-set JSONL, re-exporting is byte-identical, and export never mutates a destination.
What it looks like
Export run 20260828T233415-8f3a1b2c4d5e (completed)
destination tuning_set
wrote tuning.jsonl (2 assets, 1024 bytes)
manifest tuning.jsonl.manifest.mdThe recipe
Turn production transcripts into an eval set with
kno mine,
then value candidate training examples against it the same way as any other
asset.
What you get
A tuning-set JSONL of measured keepers with a manifest. Note: today Kno exports the set and your existing training pipeline consumes it; the Tuner and the proxy-FT bridge arrive in v0.2.
