Unsloth provides tools to train and run AI models locally, offering optimized performance for fine-tuning and inference on various hardware.

Unsloth offers a platform for training and running AI models locally on Mac and Windows devices. It supports GGUF and Safetensors models, including features like tool-calling, web search, and an OpenAI-compatible API. Users can compare models side-by-side and upload various file types such as images, documents, audio, and code. The platform includes a no-code training feature that allows users to auto-create datasets from PDFs, CSVs, and JSON documents. Unsloth's custom kernels optimize training for LoRA, FP8, FFT, PT, and over 500 models, covering text, vision, audio, and embeddings. It also provides 'Data Recipes' to transform unstructured and structured documents into usable datasets via a graph-node workflow. Models, including fine-tuned ones, can be exported to Safetensors or GGUF for use with tools like llama.cpp, vLLM, and Ollama.
