TigerTune for fine-tuning LLMsmedium

↓ Weaknesses

Steep learning curve for non-Python developershigh

API requires Python-specific patterns, TypeScript SDK is community-maintained

Frequent breaking changes between versionsmedium

v0.1 to v0.2 migration required rewriting chain definitions

Limited documentation and examples for advanced use caseshigh

Core modules like TigerArmor have sparse documentation, leading to trial-and-error usage

Performance bottlenecks with large datasets in TigerTune modulemedium

Fine-tuning on datasets larger than 10GB can lead to out-of-memory errors without significant resource allocation
