Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Fine-tune a Llama or Qwen model on your own dataset using LoRA or QLoRA to reduce compute costs.

USE CASE 2

Evaluate a language model across standard benchmarks without writing custom evaluation code.

USE CASE 3

Deploy a fine-tuned model to AWS or GCP and connect it to Claude or Cursor via the built-in MCP server.

USE CASE 4

Build and clean a training dataset using AI-based quality checks before starting a training run.

In plain English

Oumi is an open-source platform for working with large language models (LLMs) from start to finish. It covers the full process: preparing your training data, actually training or adjusting an existing AI model, evaluating how well it performs, and deploying it so others can use it. The project is aimed at researchers, developers, and teams who want to work with state-of-the-art AI models without building all the infrastructure themselves. The platform supports a wide range of popular models, including Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Phi, and others. It handles both text-only models and models that can process images alongside text. You can train models that range from very small (10 million parameters) to very large (405 billion parameters), and the platform supports several training techniques including standard fine-tuning, LoRA, QLoRA, and GRPO, which are different methods for adjusting a pre-trained model to a specific task while managing compute costs. Oumi is designed to run in many environments. You can experiment on a laptop, scale up to a computing cluster, or run jobs on major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. It integrates with both open-source models and commercial AI providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic, all through a single consistent interface. This means you can swap out which model or provider you use without rewriting your workflow. The platform also includes tools for building and cleaning training datasets using AI-based quality checks, running models in production using popular inference engines, and measuring model quality across standard benchmarks. A recent addition is an MCP server that lets you connect Oumi models directly to tools like Claude and Cursor. Installation is via pip, and the project provides a quickstart guide along with a set of Jupyter notebooks covering common tasks. Documentation and community support are available on the project website and a Discord server. The full README is longer than what was shown.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Using Oumi, write a Python script to fine-tune a Qwen 7B model on a custom chat dataset using QLoRA on a single GPU.
Prompt 2
How do I launch an Oumi training job on AWS? Show me the config file and the CLI command to start it.
Prompt 3
Set up Oumi's MCP server so Claude Desktop can query my locally hosted fine-tuned model.
Prompt 4
Write an Oumi evaluation config that runs my model on standard benchmarks and outputs a comparison table against the base model.
Prompt 5
How do I use Oumi's dataset builder to filter low-quality samples from a raw text dataset using an AI judge before training?
