Cost and Effort Comparison: Pre-training vs. Fine-tuning

Adapting a pre-trained model to a downstream task via fine-tuning is a highly efficient process in practice. Because the amount of labeled data required is small compared to the massive amount of data used during pre-training, fine-tuning is significantly less computationally expensive. It generally only requires collecting a modest amount of task-specific labeled data and slightly adjusting the model's parameters.
