About

Microsoft Frontier Tuning lets organizations customize one or more of Microsoft’s top MAI models around their unique business needs, trained safely within their own secure environment instead of relying on a generic AI model. The process starts by defining the task and what success looks like, then feeding in data, workflows, and expertise from Microsoft 365 and beyond. Performance is improved through training and iterative optimization, then deployed in Microsoft Foundry or Copilot, where the model can continue improving from real usage. Microsoft Frontier Tuning is designed to create models that know the organization’s work, terms, context, processes, and expertise while keeping data private and secure inside the customer’s environment. It gives teams more control over the model, avoids vendor lock-in, and helps them squeeze more value from every dollar spent by delivering frontier performance with superior token efficiency.

About

Tinker is a training API designed for researchers and developers that allows full control over model fine-tuning while abstracting away the infrastructure complexity. It supports primitives and enables users to build custom training loops, supervision logic, and reinforcement learning flows. It currently supports LoRA fine-tuning on open-weight models across both LLama and Qwen families, ranging from small models to large mixture-of-experts architectures. Users write Python code to handle data, loss functions, and algorithmic logic; Tinker handles scheduling, resource allocation, distributed training, and failure recovery behind the scenes. The service lets users download model weights at different checkpoints and doesn’t force them to manage the compute environment. Tinker is delivered as a managed offering; training jobs run on Thinking Machines’ internal GPU infrastructure, freeing users from cluster orchestration.
