Aquin is a local-first platform for building, fine-tuning, and deploying private, secure LLMs with transparent RAG pipelines.
- for
- ML researchers, data scientists, and engineering teams building domain-specific AI systems.
Key features
- Local-first environment — Runs all training and inference on your own hardware, keeping data and models private.
- Model selection — Choose from open-source or hosted models for fine-tuning or RAG pipelines.
- AQIT CLI & SDK — Open-source command-line and Python SDK to declare recipes, train, inspect, and patch models locally.
- Interpretability tools — Provides attribution, live training watch, weight editors, and circuit extraction for debugging.
- Framework integration — Built as a developer environment similar to Next.js, supporting libraries, frameworks, and autonomous agents.
Use cases
- Fine-tune a domain-specific LLM on proprietary data without leaving your premises
- Debug failed fine-tuning runs using live training visualizations and attribution tools
- Create RAG pipelines that combine private documents with open-source models
- Experiment with weight-level interventions and circuit extraction for research
- Deploy secure AI services for regulated industries such as life sciences or medical imaging
Aquin FAQ
Do I need cloud resources to use Aquin?+
No, Aquin is a local-first platform; all training and inference run on your own GPU or hardware.
