Together AI has released a guide and open-source repository for fine-tuning a classification model similar to Jev, using the Qwen3.5 4B base model.
- The process involves sampling 38,340 examples from six Hugging Face datasets to keep training costs low.
- Training takes approximately 25 minutes and costs about $17 via Together AI's Fine-tuning service.
- The resulting model is deployed on a dedicated HTTP endpoint for integration into software applications.
- Users can query the model using JSON inputs to perform intent detection, boolean checks, and sentiment analysis.
This approach allows developers to quickly create cost-effective, specialized classification models that return structured outputs like scores or booleans.
