Fine-tuned Qwen3-14B on DeepSeek Traces: +20% Security Boost
A researcher fine-tuned the Qwen3-14B language model using 10,000 DeepSeek traces, achieving a 20% performance increase on a custom security benchmark. This demonstrates how fine-tuning smaller models with specific datasets can be a viable and more cost-effective alternative to using large models, especially in contexts like code analysis.
