LLM fine-tuning platforms:
the alternatives, compared
Training is the short part of fine-tuning. Collecting good examples and putting the tuned model to work are what take the time.
What to look for
- Where the training data comes from, and how you review it before training.
- Which base models you can tune, and with which method (LoRA or full).
- Price per training token, and what the tuned model costs to serve.
- How the tuned model reaches production — an API endpoint, or a model your agents already pick from.
The 8 tools

Frequently asked questions
Hosted models like Claude cannot be LoRA-tuned by customers. Fine-tuning on 2pm.space uses open-weight base models such as Llama, Qwen, Mistral and gpt-oss.
On 2pm.space, from your inbox: replies you rate up, and corrections you write with Improve. Every pair waits for your Include before it is exported.
Not on 2pm.space — a dataset trains an adapter that belongs to your workspace only. The training itself runs at Together AI, with phone numbers and emails scrubbed first.
