Managed distributed fine-tuning API from Thinking Machines Lab versus Managed fine-tuning and serving for LoRA adapters
Compare interactively in Explore →Choose Tinker when…
- •You want a managed fine-tuning API instead of running training infra yourself
- •You need to fine-tune large open-weight MoE models without provisioning GPU clusters
- •You're comparing a hosted training loop against library-based options like Axolotl/Unsloth
Choose Predibase when…
- •You want managed fine-tuning without running your own GPU infrastructure
- •You need to serve many LoRA adapters efficiently on shared base models
- •You're moving from experimentation to production fine-tuning

Tinker
Hosted fine-tuning API (LoRA and full fine-tune) for open-weight models, including large MoE models, from Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab. A managed-training-loop alternative to library-based tools like Axolotl or Unsloth — usage-based per-token pricing that varies by model.
Predibase
Commercial platform for fine-tuning and serving open-source LLMs. Specializes in LoRA adapter training with serverless serving. Built by the creators of Ludwig and LoRAX.
