Two Trainers, One LoRA: NeMo Framework Beats Unsloth by 26% on a Patent-Strategist Fine-Tune
Same recipe, same R1-distilled base, same 5000-row patent corpus — once via Unsloth, once via NeMo Framework + Megatron-Bridge. NeMo finishes 26% faster and produces 44% longer patent-strategic chains. The cost is one YARN-defaults landmine and a stdout that lied for four hours.
The Trainer Was Fine, the Corpus Wasn't: Three Misdiagnoses on a Patent-Specialist Fine-Tune
Five thousand rows of synthetic patent reasoning, two clean 131-minute LoRA trains, three rounds of confident diagnosis — and none of them found the bug. The bug was the corpus all along. A field report on the cheapest mistake to make on the Spark.
Three-Mode Bracket: Baselining a Reasoning Model Before Fine-Tuning, On One Spark
Before you fine-tune a small reasoning model on a domain bench you need to know where it stands. Three context modes — closed, retrieval, oracle — triangulate the model's ceiling on one Spark, no Judge backend or cluster required.
Synthetic Corpus Frameworks on the Spark — From a Bespoke Pipeline to an Orchestration Layer
A bespoke synth pipeline got 200 rows into a 5000-row reasoning corpus before a fourth meta-state surface form forced a retreat. The diagnosis: a regex-floor approach cannot catch novel surface forms by construction. The fix is the open-source orchestration layer.
