loops-tinker
Drop-in compatibility shim that provides the tinker package namespace backed
by the loops SDK.
Installation
pip install loops-tinker
Usage
Existing code that uses import tinker works without modification:
import tinker
service_client = tinker.ServiceClient(training_project_id="proj_abc123")
training_client = service_client.create_lora_training_client(
base_model="Qwen/Qwen3-8B", rank=16,
)
sampling_client = service_client.create_sampling_client(model="Qwen/Qwen3-8B")
All types are also available under tinker.types:
from tinker.types import SamplingParams, Datum, ModelInput
from tinker.types.tensor_data import TensorData
Using with tinker-cookbook
tinker-cookbook depends on tinker, but you can swap in loops-tinker using
uv's override-dependencies to prevent the original tinker from being installed.
First add the override to pyproject.toml before installing any dependencies
(there is no CLI command for this). If tinker-cookbook is added first, the
original tinker gets installed and its files conflict with loops-tinker:
[tool.uv]
override-dependencies = [
"tinker ; python_version < '0'",
]
Then add the dependencies:
uv init
uv add tinker-cookbook
uv add "loops @ git+https://github.com/basetenlabs/loops#subdirectory=loops"
uv add "loops-tinker @ git+https://github.com/basetenlabs/loops#subdirectory=loops-tinker"
loops is a transitive dep of loops-tinker but must be listed directly
because [tool.uv.sources] only applies to direct dependencies. This won't
be needed once loops is published to PyPI.
The tinker namespace will be provided by loops-tinker instead of the
original package.
