What happened and what to do

In a post published on September 29, 2025, Thinky Machines describes LoRA recipes for reinforcement learning fine-tuning. The highlighted choices include learning rates 10 times higher and applying LoRA to every layer. The post claims that rank-1 LoRA can match full fine-tuning performance when configured well.

A company adapting models with reinforcement learning can turn these claims into a controlled test: compare LoRA configurations with its current fine-tuning approach, record quality, cost, and time metrics, and monitor results by experiment. The decision to adopt a configuration should be based on outcomes for the company’s model and task.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can assess the fine-tuning workflow and evaluation criteria, scope a comparison of configurations, and implement the experiment and monitoring pipeline on the client’s infrastructure.
