Evaluating Multi-Task Fine-Tuning Strategies for AI Assistants
A technology company aims to develop a single, versatile AI assistant capable of summarizing long documents, translating text between languages, and answering factual questions. Their proposed strategy is to fine-tune one large language model on a single, massive dataset that combines examples from all three distinct tasks. Critically evaluate this approach. What are the primary advantages and potential significant drawbacks of this multi-task training strategy compared to the alternative of training three separate, specialized models?

Developing a Multi-Function Customer Service AI
A development team is building a single language model intended to serve as a versatile corporate assistant. The model must be able to summarize internal reports, answer questions based on a company knowledge base, and draft professional emails. After an initial training phase, the team observes that the model is excellent at drafting emails but performs poorly on summarization and question-answering. Which of the following adjustments to their training process is most likely to create a single model that is proficient in all three tasks?
