oumi
Easily fine-tune, evaluate and deploy gpt-oss, Qwen3, DeepSeek-R1, or any open source LLM / VLM!
Overview
Oumi is a comprehensive platform for fine-tuning, evaluating, and deploying open-source large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). It provides end-to-end support for state-of-the-art foundation model development, supporting popular models like GPT-OSS, Qwen3, DeepSeek-R1, and many others. The platform offers advanced features including automated hyperparameter tuning, data synthesis capabilities, and RLVF (Reinforcement Learning from Vision Feedback) fine-tuning. With over 8,900 GitHub stars, Oumi has established itself as a reliable solution for researchers and developers working on custom AI model development. The tool integrates with modern ML frameworks like TRL 0.26+ and supports Python 3.13, making it accessible for contemporary development workflows. Recent partnerships with Lambda Labs demonstrate its enterprise readiness for production model deployment. Oumi includes CLI commands for model analysis and supports OpenEnv for creating agentic reinforcement learning environments, making it suitable for both research and production use cases.
