Welcome to FineFoundry! This app helps you create custom AI models trained on your own data. Whether you want to build a chatbot that sounds like your favorite community, create a specialized assistant, or just experiment with AI training, you're in the right place.
No coding experience required. The app handles all the technical stuff for you.
- Collect training data from websites like Reddit, 4chan, and Stack Exchange—or create your own from documents
- Train AI models on your data, either on your computer or using cloud GPUs
- Test your models to see how well they learned
- Share your work by publishing to Hugging Face (a popular AI community)
New here? Start with the Quick Start Guide—you'll have your first dataset ready in about 10 minutes.

FineFoundry has several tabs, each with a specific job:
| Tab | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Data Sources | Collect training data from websites or your own documents |
| Publish | Prepare your data and share it online |
| Training | Teach an AI model using your data |
| Inference | Chat with your trained model to test it |
| Evaluate | Benchmark your model with standardized tests |
| Merge Datasets | Combine data from different sources |
| Analysis | Check your data quality before training |
| Settings | Set up your accounts and preferences |
Do I need a powerful computer? For collecting data and basic tasks, any modern computer works fine. For training models, you'll either need a gaming-grade graphics card (GPU) or you can use cloud GPUs through Runpod (costs a few dollars per hour).
Is this free? FineFoundry itself is completely free. Cloud training on Runpod costs money, but you can also train on your own computer for free if you have a compatible GPU.
Do I need to know how to code? Nope! Everything works through the visual interface. Just click buttons and fill in fields.
