🔎 About

Oumi is a fully open-source platform that streamlines the entire lifecycle of foundation models - from data preparation and training to evaluation and deployment. Whether you're developing on a laptop, launching large scale experiments on a cluster, or deploying models in production, Oumi provides the tools and workflows you need.

With Oumi, you can:

• 🚀 Train and fine-tune models from 10M to 405B parameters using state-of-the-art techniques (SFT, LoRA, QLoRA, GRPO, and more)
• 🤖 Work with both text and multimodal models (Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Phi, and others)
• 🔄 Synthesize and curate training data with LLM judges
• ⚡️ Deploy models efficiently with popular inference engines (vLLM, SGLang)
• 📊 Evaluate models comprehensively across standard benchmarks
• 🌎 Run anywhere - from laptops to clusters to clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP, Lambda, and more)
• 🔌 Integrate with both open models and commercial APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, Together, Parasail, ...)

All with one consistent API, production-grade reliability, and all the flexibility you need for research.

🔧 Usage

Installation

Installing oumi in your environment is straightforward:

# Install the package (CPU & NPU only)
pip install oumi  # For local development & testing

# OR, with GPU support (Requires Nvidia or AMD GPU)
pip install oumi[gpu]  # For GPU training

# To get the latest version, install from the source
pip install git+https://github.com/oumi-ai/oumi.git

For more advanced installation options, see the installation guide.

Oumi CLI

You can quickly use the oumi command to train, evaluate, and infer models using one of the existing recipes:

# Training
oumi train -c configs/recipes/smollm/sft/135m/quickstart_train.yaml

# Evaluation
oumi evaluate -c configs/recipes/smollm/evaluation/135m/quickstart_eval.yaml

# Inference
oumi infer -c configs/recipes/smollm/inference/135m_infer.yaml --interactive

For more advanced options, see the training, evaluation, inference, and llm-as-a-judge guides.

Running Jobs Remotely

You can run jobs remotely on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, Lambda, etc.) using the oumi launch command:

# GCP
oumi launch up -c configs/recipes/smollm/sft/135m/quickstart_gcp_job.yaml

# AWS
oumi launch up -c configs/recipes/smollm/sft/135m/quickstart_gcp_job.yaml --resources.cloud aws

# Azure
oumi launch up -c configs/recipes/smollm/sft/135m/quickstart_gcp_job.yaml --resources.cloud azure

# Lambda
oumi launch up -c configs/recipes/smollm/sft/135m/quickstart_gcp_job.yaml --resources.cloud lambda

Note: Oumi is in beta and under active development. The core features are stable, but some advanced features might change as the platform improves.

💻 Why use Oumi?

If you need a comprehensive platform for training, evaluating, or deploying models, Oumi is a great choice.
