Engines

An AIMFT engine adapter converts an AIM Fine-tuning training request into the files, environment variables, and command needed to run a specific fine-tuning engine.

The aim_fine_tune CLI owns the common workflow. Each engine owns the engine-specific configuration and launch details.

Engine contract

Every engine adapter accepts a normalized training request and produces a launch specification containing:

• The engine name.

• The command to invoke in the execution environment.

• Environment variables required by the engine.

• Generated configuration files.

• The destination where configuration files are mounted, /configs by default.

This boundary lets the CLI support additional engines without exposing each engine’s configuration format as part of the common command-line interface.

Available engines

Available engines and engine-specific parameters are documented in the engine reference.
