  6. This is a bit confusing, I sort of expected it to be a bit like Kiln https://github.com/Kiln-AI/Kiln to generate datasets for AI, but it looks like the outputs are more just data / files than datasets?

  8. …who already have data? I’m building a UI for fine tuning (and evals, and synthetic data gen) - https://github.com/Kiln-AI/Kiln - and went the custom UI route. From chatting with folks - most people don’t have datasets, and need help…

  13. …I love fine tuning for more specific/repeatable tasks. I even have my own fine-tuning platform ( https://github.com/Kiln-AI/Kiln ). However coding is very broad. Good use case for foundation large models with smart use of context.
