24 alternatives to Generate recipes with a fine-tuned language model
I fine-tuned Flan-T5 on ~1 million recipes to see if it could generate new recipes. It was a fun project, you can check out the app at http://lechef.fyi and some details about how it was built at https://abuqader.substack.com/p/i-fine-tuned-flan-t5-can-it-...
Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Generate recipes with a fine-tuned language model launched in 2022; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

I've been playing around with https://github.com/zphang/minimal-llama/ and https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/blob/main/finetune.py, and wanted to create a simple UI where you can just paste text, tweak the parameters, and finetune the model quickly using a modern GPU. To prepare the data, simply separate your text with two blank lines. There's an inference tab, so you can test how the tuned model behaves. This is my first foray into the world of LLM finetuning, Python, Torch, Transformers, LoRA, PEFT, and Gradio. Enjoy!

We developed a new framework that enables flexible control of generated text in language models. By combining several models and/or system prompts in one mathematical formula, it lets you tweak your style and combine model outputs with ease. A handy tool for those working with LLMs, looking for more fine-grained control of stylistic output. More details in our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14479. Feedback and potential applications are welcome.

Hi HN! My latest side project is knowledge graph that maps the French culinary network using data extracted from restaurant reviews from LeFooding.com. The project uses LLMs to extract structured information from unstructured text. Some technical aspects you may be interested in: - Used structured generation to reliably parse unstructured text into a consistent schema - Tested multiple models (Mistral-7B-v0.3, Llama3.2-3B, gpt4o-mini) for information extraction - Created an interactive visualization using gephi-lite and Retina (WebGL) - Built (with Claude) a simple Flask web app to clean and…

Hey HN! We’re building FinetuneDB (https://finetunedb.com/), an LLM fine-tuning platform. It enables teams to easily create and manage high-quality datasets, and streamlines the entire workflow from fine-tuning to serving and evaluating models with domain experts. You can check out our docs here: (https://docs.finetunedb.com/) FinetuneDB exists because creating and managing high-quality datasets is a real bottleneck when fine-tuning LLMs. The quality of your data directly impacts the performance of your fine-tuned models, and existing tools didn’t offer an easy…

Over the last 2-3 weeks, I vibecoded the recipe app that I always wished existed - recipeninja.ai . It now includes a fully interactive voice assistant so you don't need to get your dirty hands over your new iPad when you're cooking. Background: I’m a startup founder turned investor. I taught myself (bad) PHP in 2000, and picked up Ruby on Rails in 2011. I’d guess 2015 was the last time I wrote a line of Ruby professionally. Last month, I decided to use Windsurf to build a Rails 8 API backend and React front-end app, using OpenAI's realtime API for voice-to-voice responses. Over the last few…

TuneTrain.ai▲79Do you know that Small Language Models (SLM) can outperform LLMs if trained (fine-tuned) on domain specific datasets, like your companies knowledge base? The issue: fine-tuning a SLM usually requires a dataset of 10k - 100k records, which is huge. I created a platform for applying "human in the loop" augmentation techniques on your small dataset, so that you can start with maybe 100 records and build-up quickly huge datasets and launch a training without prior knowledge. I implemented 2 techniques, based on LLM distillation, however: more to come. HN, what Do you think? Do you see value in…

Hey HN, excited to release Blueprint into public beta. Blueprint is a general fine-tuning and model serving API built for developers. Fine-tuning models is an extremely powerful way to improve performance on a specific task without needing to collect prohibitively large amounts of data. With Blueprint you can kick off fine-tuning jobs for various open source models like Stable Diffusion and soon Flan-T5 using a Python SDK. We'll also deploy your fine-tuned models onto serverless GPUs so that you aren't paying for idle GPU time. We scale the models up when you need to serve requests and have…

Hello all! Very happy to share this toolkit that allows you to fine-tune your choice of open-source LLMs on your data! The toolkit also allows you to run ablation studies across LLMs, prompt designs, training configurations, and can ingest different data files -- all through just ONE YAML file! After fine-tuning, you can also run a bunch of tests to ensure that the fine-tuned LLM behaves as expected, enabling faster time-to-production! Why this toolkit? Why now? While closed-source LLMs have become popular for chat-based applications, enterprises are considering a shift to self-hosted SLMs…

Email me at [email protected] and mention Hacker News! I'll give the first 100 people who do a month free. I built Sage Cooking because my wife and I love to cook, but we're both slightly picky eaters. It's a next-gen recipe manager powered by AI, fine- tuned on techniques from top chefs and food scientists. I wanted something that would let us cook great meals tailored to our preferences and remember recipes we love. Key features: AI recipe generation using culinary expertise Recipe editing for personalization "Cook by photo" - upload a dish pic, get a recipe (surprisingly…
