The AI fine-tuned a model for two days to redact our firewall logs

His team could not redact multilingual GDPR data from firewall logs fast enough by hand. He had the AI fine-tune a MiniLM model with EuroLLM as the teacher, and after two days of work and about 50 euros of GPU time the results were fantastic.

How it works

  1. Sets the AI to fine-tune a MiniLM model with EuroLLM as the teacher

  3. The trained model redacts the logs and the results are fantastic

Why it’s worth knowing

The AI ran on its own for two days straight, teaching a small model to strip private data out of firewall logs.
