Thinking Machines' first official product is here: meet Tinker, an API for distributed LLM fine-tuning
Thinking Machines, the AI startup founded earlier this year by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has launched its first product: Tinker, a Python-based API designed to make large language model (LLM) fine-tuning both powerful and accessible. Now in private beta, Tinker gives developers and researchers direct control over their training pipelines while offloading the heavy lifting of distributed compute and infrastructure management.As Murati wrote in a post on the social network X: "Tinker brings frontier tools to researchers, offering clean abstractions for writing experiments and training pipelines while handling distributed training complexity. It enables novel research, custom models, and solid baselines."Tinker’s launch is the first public milestone for Thinking Machines, whi [...]
