Fine-tuning

Train and host custom models on your own data.

Why it matters

Fine-tuning has gone from "deep ML team only" to "a few hours of JSONL away" — but the choice between closed-model FT (OpenAI), open-model FT (Together, Modal), and memory-tuning matters more than ever.

What's in here

Covers closed-model fine-tuning (OpenAI), open-model FT + serving (Together AI, Replicate, Modal), distributed training platforms (Anyscale), and specialised platforms (Lamini for factual recall).

How to pick

Pick OpenAI for the easiest UX on closed models. Pick Together AI for open-model FT + serving in one place. Pick Modal for serverless GPU control. Pick Lamini specifically for hallucination-free factual recall.
