LLaMA-Factory

Fine-tuning Intermediate Open source Free

A fine-tuning toolkit known for broad model support and an approachable web UI, which makes it one of the friendliest ways to start fine-tuning. It covers LoRA, QLoRA, full fine-tunes, and preference optimisation across many model families.

Strengths

  • A web UI that lowers the barrier to a first fine-tune
  • Very broad support across model families
  • Apache 2.0, and covers the common tuning techniques

Weaknesses

  • The GUI hides details you will eventually need to understand
  • Serious runs still require capable GPU hardware
  • Less scriptable for production than a config-first tool like Axolotl
