Developer fine-tunes open-source GLiNER model using Gemini-labeled data for $9
A hobbyist building a knife-tracking scraper for Reddit comments replaced expensive per-comment Gemini 3.1 Pro API calls with a fine-tuned version of the open-source GLiNER model. He had Gemini label 4,290 comments once, then used that labeled data to train GLiNER large v2.5 to extract knife brands, models and steel types, spending about $9 total on the labeling step.
