Short answer

How can I fine tune custom models with my AI?

You can trigger training jobs and manage specialized model instances by giving your agent access to Gradient AI. This allows you to use your own datasets to create custom models through simple text commands. You'll get a breakdown of the training and management workflow below.

Model management outcomes

What you can achieve

These are the results of your requests.

TRAINING

New custom models

Your agent starts a training job using your specific datasets. You get a specialized model instance ready for use.

INVENTORY

Model oversight

The AI checks your current list of models. You can see exactly what you have active in your account.

CONTROL

Instance management

You can pull specific details for a model or remove old ones. This keeps your model library clean and organized.

HUMAN

Dataset preparation

The AI cannot clean or format your raw data files. You must prepare your training datasets before asking the agent to start a job.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request training.

The agent handles the heavy lifting of interacting with the Gradient AI API.

  1. Start training

    The agent initiates a training process using the datasets you provide.

    fine_tune_model

  2. Create instances

    The agent sets up new model instances based on your training results.

    create_model

  3. Check status

    The agent looks up your existing models to check their details or availability.

    list_modelsget_model

  4. Cleanup

    The agent removes specific model instances you no longer need.

    delete_model

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI format my JSON training data?

    No. You must provide correctly formatted datasets; the agent only triggers the training job.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my models without asking?

    No. The agent only deletes a model if you explicitly command it to do so.

  • 03

    Can I monitor training progress in real time?

    The agent can check the status of models, but it does not provide a live streaming progress bar.

  • 04

    How do I see which models I have already trained?

    Just ask your agent to list your models.

  • 05

    Can the AI create a model without a training job?

    Yes, the agent can create model instances directly if the tool allows.
