Watch+5.9k this week★ 75,092 · 6,811 forks
Makes fine-tuning open models substantially faster and small enough to fit on one consumer GPU.
Real, but not yet worth your team's attention.
Who it's for
Teams that have already decided to fine-tune and are choosing how, not whether.
What it replaces
Renting multi-GPU cloud instances for a training run.
The catch
It is excellent at a job most small teams should not be doing yet. The prerequisite is a labelled dataset you do not have.
Your first hour
Bookmark it. Revisit once prompting and retrieval have measurably failed on a task that matters.
