115-Page Guide to LLM Fine-Tuning

.. PLUS: Open Source Agent Builder

In today’s newsletter:

  • Motia - Unified Backend Framework for AI Agents

  • Ultimate Guide to LLM Fine-Tuning

  • Open Agent Builder - Build, Test and Deploy AI Agent Workflows

Reading time: 3 minutes.

Motia is a backend framework that brings together AI Agents, APIs, background jobs, streams and workflows into a single core primitive.

Think of it as the missing backend for AI agents: a single place to build, run, and observe your entire stack.

Key Features:

  • One runtime for APIs, event driven jobs, workflows, and agents

  • Mix Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript in the same workflow

  • Built in observability with logs, traces, and state management

  • Visual workbench to build and debug flows in real time

  • Event driven design to connect APIs, tasks, and AI agents

It’s 100% Open Source

A 115-page guide covers everything you need to fine-tune LLMs, from fundamentals to advanced techniques.

Here’s what it covers:

  • Task- and domain-specific fine-tuning

  • Parameter-efficient methods: PEFT, LoRA, QLoRA, DoRA, HFT

  • Expert-based architectures: MoE, Lamini Memory Tuning, MoA

  • Alignment and optimization: PPO, DPO

  • Model simplification: Pruning

If you’re serious about mastering LLM fine-tuning, this is one of the most comprehensive open resources available.

Open Agent Builder is a visual workflow builder for creating AI agent pipelines without writing a single line of code.

Design complex agentic systems visually, connect tools, and deploy instantly with real-time streaming updates.

Key Features:

  • Drag-and-drop interface for assembling agent workflows.

  • Live execution with real-time progress.

  • 8 core node types: Start, Agent, MCP Tools, Transform, If/Else, While Loop, User Approval, End.

  • Template library for pre-built agentic flows.

  • Native MCP protocol support for extending tool integration.

It’s 100% open-source. Fork the repo and build your own workflow app.
