Overview

OpenPipe is an SDK that abstracts away fine-tuning custom models. We capture your existing provider’s prompt-completion pairs in the background and use them to create a new model that is faster, cheaper and often more accurate than the original.

David Corbitt

Founder

I'm a co-founder at OpenPipe, a platform for turning your slow and expensive prompts into cheap fine-tuned models. My cofounder and I wrote the first web agent that ran on GPT-4 (Taxy.AI) and I've been fine-tuning models since 2021.
