Fine-tuning a 194M GLiNER2 tag classifier on HF Jobs for ~$1.50 lifts accuracy from 10% to 69%

The author trained a Jev-style classifier on Hugging Face Jobs for $1.50: a 194M GLiNER2 model that suggests task tags for any Hub dataset from its column names and first row. Zero-shot, its top suggestion matched an owner's tag 10% of the time; after 17 minutes of fine-tuning, 69% (owner tags are noisy, so some misses are unlabeled tags). It runs in 1s on a free CPU. The recipe is open: one hf jobs command trains the same model on your own labels, and the README book-titles example runs in 2 minutes for $0.02.
