Quick meaning

Fine-Tune Drift is quality or behavior drift after a model is fine-tuned away from its original strengths. It is commonly used in online conversations, captions, comments, creator videos, and community jokes. The meaning can shift by platform, country, and time, so MemeSlang treats it as an internet-culture reference rather than a fixed dictionary definition.
