I built TuneKit to escape fine-tuning hell (trending #19 on Product Hunt today)

Watch the 2-minute demo on YouTube!

The problem I was tired of solving

Every time I wanted to fine-tune a small language model, I'd spend 2-3 hours on the same boring setup:

  • Which model fits my data? Llama? Phi? Mistral?
  • What hyperparameters should I use?
  • How do I set up LoRA without breaking something?
  • Why is my Colab crashing again?

I got tired of it. So I built TuneKit to automate the entire thing.


What TuneKit does

Three steps. That's it.

  1. Upload your data (JSONL file)
  2. AI picks the best model (Llama 3.2, Phi-4, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma)
  3. Get a ready-to-run Colab notebook β†’ Hit "Run All" β†’ trained model in ~15 minutes

No coding. No guessing. No cloud bills.


The tech stack

Unsloth - 2x faster training (this is the secret sauce)
Google Colab's free T4 GPU - No credit card needed
Smart model selection - Analyzes your task type and data patterns
LoRA fine-tuning - Auto-optimized configs


Why it matters

Fine-tuning shouldn't require a PhD or a $300/month GPU bill.

The tools exist (Unsloth is incredible), but the setup is still a nightmare for most developers.

TuneKit wraps all of that complexity into a UI that just works.


Launch day πŸš€

We hit #19 on Product Hunt today.

The response has been wild. Turns out a lot of people have the same fine-tuning frustration I had.

Try it:

πŸ”— Live: tunekit.app

πŸ’» GitHub: github.com/riyanshibohra/TuneKit

πŸ† Product Hunt: Product Hunt


What's next

  • More models support
  • Advanced hyperparameter tuning for power users
  • Direct deployment options (GGUF for Ollama, HuggingFace Hub)

Your turn

If you've ever spent hours setting up fine-tuning, give TuneKit a shot. Would love your feedback.

What do you use for fine-tuning? Any features you'd want to see? πŸ‘‡


P.S. Shoutout to the @unslothai team - their optimization makes this entire project possible.
