Custom Model Training

AI models fine-tuned on your data and specific use cases, delivering superior performance for your unique business requirements.

Problem and solution

Problem

General-purpose models are powerful, but they don't understand your domain's terminology and context — producing inaccurate results and high inference costs on your specialised tasks.

Solution

We design and fine-tune specialised models on your data, so they understand your domain and achieve higher accuracy at lower cost than large general models.

Who it's for

Startups

Build a distinctive AI capability that sets your product apart from competitors with less data.

Growing businesses

Improve accuracy on your specialised tasks and cut inference costs with smaller, faster models.

Enterprise

Private, owned models that keep your data confidential and understand your knowledge base.

  • Specialised models: speech, time series, recommendation systems.

Custom model development

Building models from scratch when needed:

  • Designing new architectures.
  • Creating domain-specific models.
  • Specialised embedding models.
  • Custom tokenizers and vocabularies.

Data engineering

Preparing and optimising data for model training:

  • Data collection and annotation.
  • Dataset curation and cleaning.
  • Synthetic data generation.

Competitive advantage Proprietary AI capabilities that differentiate your products and services.

Technologies we use

  • Frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Hugging Face Transformers.
  • Training: DeepSpeed, FSDP, Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT).
  • Techniques: LoRA, QLoRA, Prefix Tuning, Adapter Layers.
  • Platforms: AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML, on-premise infrastructure.
  • MLOps: Weights & Biases, MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow.

Training approaches

Full fine-tuning

Complete model adaptation for maximum customisation:

  • Updates all model parameters.
  • Ideal for significant domain shift.
  • Requires substantial compute resources.
  • Best for critical applications.

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning

Efficient training with minimal resources:

  • LoRA: low-rank adaptation for efficient training.
  • QLoRA: quantised LoRA for reduced memory.
  • Prefix Tuning: optimising only the prompt parameters.
  • Adapters: adding small trainable modules.

Few-shot learning

Training from limited examples:

  • Effective with small datasets.
  • Fast iteration and testing.
  • Reduced annotation costs.
  • Quick deployment cycles.

Continual learning

Keeping models current with new data:

  • Incremental training pipelines.
  • Prevention of catastrophic forgetting.
  • Online-learning capabilities.
  • Automated retraining workflows.

Use cases

  • Legal tech: contract analysis and extraction, legal document classification, precedent search and matching, and compliance checks.
  • Healthcare and biotech: medical image analysis, clinical note processing, drug-discovery models and patient-risk prediction.
  • Finance and insurance: fraud detection, credit-risk scoring, market-sentiment analysis and document-processing automation.
  • E-commerce and retail: product recommendation engines, visual search, demand forecasting and customer-service automation.
  • Manufacturing: defect detection, predictive maintenance, quality-control automation and process optimisation.

How we work

  1. Requirements and data assessment: define success metrics, evaluate available data, identify base models and determine resource needs.
  2. Data preparation: data collection and annotation, train/validation splits, data augmentation and quality checks.
  3. Model development: select base models, design the training strategy, experiment with architectures and optimise hyperparameters.
  4. Training and validation: train models on your data, validate performance, benchmark against base models, and iterate.
  5. Deployment and monitoring: optimise for production, deploy to your infrastructure, set up monitoring and establish a retraining pipeline.

Model performance metrics

We track and optimise the metrics that matter:

  • Accuracy metrics: precision, recall, F1-score, accuracy.
  • Ranking metrics: NDCG, MAP, MRR.
  • Generation quality: BLEU, ROUGE, perplexity.
  • Business metrics: inference cost, latency, throughput.
  • Domain-specific: custom metrics aligned with your goals.

Training infrastructure

Cloud training: scalable GPU/TPU resources, cost-effective spot instances, managed training services and multi-region deployment.

On-premise training: private infrastructure setup, GPU-cluster management, data-privacy compliance and full control over training.

Hybrid approach: data stays local, training runs in a secure cloud — the best of both worlds with flexible scaling.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to train a custom model?
The cost depends on model size, dataset size, training time and infrastructure requirements. We fix it after a free assessment of your data and goals, with no obligation.
How much data do I need?
Thanks to transfer learning and smart fine-tuning, good results are possible with less data than you might expect. We assess your available data and determine the best approach during the assessment.
What do I get in the end?
A trained model with its weights and performance cards, plus inference code, documentation, and deployment and retraining pipelines.
Is a custom model right for my case?
If you have a specialised task that demands high accuracy or domain understanding, then yes. In the free assessment we determine whether fine-tuning or a model built from scratch is the better fit.
