I’ve been working on Opperator, an open source framework for building and running general purpose AI agents locally from the terminal. It’s similar in spirit to Claude Code, but fo…

Yes, the Tea app inspired me to write this actually

We wanted to test if a smaller model like GPT-4.1-mini could beat its bigger brother 4.1 at the game Tic-Tac-Toe using only context engineering. We put them in a 100-game tournamen…

That's true when looking solely at fine-tuning costs. In theory, you could fine-tune a model locally and only cover electricity expenses. However, we provide a complete end-to-end …

Which part of the pricing seems high, platform or token pricing? Both? About Gemini Flash, we add new model providers entirely based on feedback. Gemini is next on the roadmap!

Yes for sure. But your mileage may vary, and it all depends on the quality of the dataset that you build up. Happy to discuss this in detail, how do you measure performance?

Yes, it's outdated. Thanks for the feedback. 4o-mini is the new king for sure!

We are working on a dedicated pricing page with all relevant information. Pricing in docs is just temporary. With that being said, new users get free credits to try out the platfor…

Thanks for the feedback! More than happy to learn more about your workflow if you'd like to share (farouq@finetunedb.com)

Thank you so much! 1. Where exactly did you see this? There are internal FinetuneDB API keys, and external API keys like OpenAI. Though it's confusing, I agree! 2. Work in progress…

The magic behind NotebookLM can't be replicated only with fine-tuning. It's all about the workflow, from the chunking strategy, to retrieval etc. For a defined specific use-case it…

Ah I see, got it. For now the API should work fine for that!

We don't support Codestral or Qwen2.5-coder right out of the box for now, but depending on your use-case we certainly could add it. We utilize LoRA for smaller models, and qLoRA (q…

There hasn't been a significant demand for the Python SDK yet, so for now we suggest interacting with the API directly. With that being said, feel free to email us with your use-ca…

Hey all, co-founder here happy to answer any questions!

Hey all! Ever since Claude 3 released, I've been using Opus to code really fast. Copying and pasting multiple files into the context window was the only bottleneck, so I built a ha…

I'm the co-founder & CTO at www.finetunedb.com - and before launching FinetuneDB, I founded a genai app in the application layer (visus.ai) where I built my own in-house testing to…

I don't necessarily mistrust Chinese SaaS products, though I find Chinese products to follow a design paradigm that is outdated from a UI/UX perspective. Also, in general, Chinese …
