For leaning purposes, I ran an experiment where I used Unsloth to train a model on a new domain using continued pretraining. Then to make it more flexible, I added a RAG step to inject dynamic data to augment the stable training data. The specific example is training qwen 3.5 4B on a fictional subw…
