"## Overview\n",
"\n",
"This tutorial shows you how to teach Gemini to generate better responses by showing it examples of what humans prefer.\n",
"\n",
"### What is Preference Optimization?\n",
"\n",
"Instead of labeling responses as \"correct\" or \"incorrect,\" preference optimization works with human preferences. You show the model pairs of responses to the same question—one that humans preferred and one they didn't—and the model learns to generate responses more like the preferred ones.\n",
"\n",
"Think of it like this: rather than teaching a student the \"right answer,\" you're showing them two essays and saying \"this style is better than that style.\"\n",
"\n",
"### What you'll learn\n",
"\n",
"By the end of this tutorial, you will:\n",
"1. Load a dataset with human preference ratings\n",
"2. Train Gemini to align with those preferences\n",
"3. See a clear before-and-after comparison of model outputs"
