A hackathon is an event that may last for a day or several days where people collaborate to solve a problem. The word “hackathon” is a portmanteau of “hack” and “marathon”. The first hackathon was held in 1999 by OpenBSD in Calgary, Canada[1]. Initially, hackathons were used for software development problems, but now organisations are running hackathons for a much more eclectic range of tasks, such as planning the marketing strategy of a nonprofit, and now there are AI hackathons.

Fine tuning a large language model refers to taking a model that has already been developed, and training it on more data. It’s a way of leveraging the work that has already gone into developing the original model. Fine tuning is often used to adapt a generalist model for a more specific domain, such as mental health, legal, or healthcare, and in this case it’s also referred to as “transfer learning”.
