The Problem

AI teams are relying heavily on post-trained custom models, but the workflows span supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, distillation, new research techniques, and model-specific evaluation. Companies need to understand how base model behavior affects post-training outcomes while also tracking quality, efficiency, and production readiness across experiments.

Potential Solution

PostTrainOps provides a unified workbench for post-training pipelines: experiment orchestration, evaluation metric tracking, distillation runs, and side-by-side comparisons of model quality and inference efficiency. It integrates with existing training and inference infrastructure so research and infra teams can test techniques from the literature, compare outcomes, and promote the best custom models into production.

Why Now?

Job postings show frontier AI companies hiring specifically for post-training, efficient inference, evaluation metrics, and custom model success. As more production traffic shifts to post-trained models, teams need repeatable tooling instead of bespoke research and infrastructure work for every model.
