Full Proven Proposal Cover Letter

Hi Sarah,

Saw you need Llama 3 8B fine-tuned for extracting clauses from complex commercial contracts. I recently completed a similar legal extraction project using Unsloth and QLoRA, achieving 98.4% JSON format adherence and cutting training memory footprint by 70%.

Key deliverables for your project:
1. Synthetic dataset generation and deduplication pipeline via GPT-4o.
2. QLoRA 4-bit fine-tuning with strict validation against held-out contracts.
3. Quantized GGUF/vLLM inference deployment for sub-second production serving.

Happy to share the evaluation benchmark results from my previous deployment. Let's schedule a brief chat.

Best,
[Your Name]
