Their product offerings are structured around three core pillars: Models, Training API, and an autonomous training agent. Users can explore a diverse catalog of customized language, classification, extraction, and decision models developed by Fastino Labs. These models are available for download as weights or can be accessed for inference via their hosted API, providing flexibility for various deployment scenarios. The GLiDE decision models, ranging from 0.4B to 27B parameters, are highlighted for their performance, with GLiDE ranked #1 on Hugging Face's Decision Index.
The Training API allows users to bring their own data and SFT/RL loops to train open models on Fastino's managed infrastructure, aiming for cost efficiency compared to alternative solutions. For enterprise clients, an agentic post-training solution is available, offering advanced capabilities. The platform supports both encoder (GLiNER) and decoder (LLM) model training, with options for managed, interactive, and autonomous training workflows. The Auto Train feature delegates data preparation, training, evaluation, and model selection to Fastino's autonomous agent, streamlining the model development process.
Fastino Labs emphasizes open-weight models, fostering community engagement and widespread adoption, evidenced by over 55 million model downloads on Hugging Face and 6.7K+ GitHub stars. Their models are designed for diverse applications, including extraction, classification, decisions, and reasoning. The platform provides comprehensive documentation and quickstart guides to help users integrate their models and APIs, from setting up API keys to running inference calls and creating training jobs. Fastino Inc. is committed to data security, privacy, and responsible AI use, with ongoing efforts towards SOC 2 Type I/II and ISO 27001 certifications.
