# Together AI expands fine-tuning service with more models, live metrics, and finer controls

**[Together AI](https://daily.dev/sources/togetherai)** · 10 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Together AI has expanded its fine-tuning platform with support for the latest open-weight models (GLM 5.3, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, Kimi K2.7, Qwen 3.5/3.6/3.8, Gemma 4), live experiment tracking via API/CLI/dashboard, and new training controls including Expert LoRA (which trains MoE expert layers rather than just attention, recalling up to 89% of new knowledge vs 15% for attention-only adapters), early stopping with automatic refunds for unused training steps, arbitrary batch sizes via gradient accumulation, tokenized dataset previews, per-example sample weights, pre-flight file validation, and configurable sequence packing. Training prices dropped 30-70% on select models, with gpt-oss-20b SFT falling from $1.50 to $0.40 per million tokens. A case study covers Adaption's AutoScientist, which runs closed-loop self-improving training up to 1 trillion parameters on the platform. Upcoming: deploying intermediate LoRA adapters while training is still running, starting with GLM-5.3 and Kimi K3.

## Questions this post answers

### What is Expert LoRA and how does it improve fine-tuning of Mixture-of-Experts models?

Expert LoRA is a technique that attaches LoRA adapters directly to the expert layers of a Mixture-of-Experts model instead of only attention layers, since over 90% of an MoE model's parameters and most of its knowledge live in the experts. In tests teaching models 200 invented facts, expert adapters recalled up to 89% of new knowledge versus 15% for attention-only adapters, and scored 75.3% vs 71.5% on MMLU-Pro. Enable it by adding expert modules to lora_trainable_modules.

_Teams weighing LoRA strategies for MoE models can track platform-level fine-tuning changes like this on daily.dev._

### How much did Together AI cut fine-tuning training prices for gpt-oss models?

Training prices for gpt-oss-20b SFT dropped from $1.50 to $0.40 per million tokens, roughly a 70% reduction, while gpt-oss-120b SFT fell from $5.00 to $2.50 per million tokens. DPO training for gpt-oss-20b dropped from $3.75 to $1.00 per million tokens. Price cuts of 30% to 70% were applied across most supported models, including Qwen3.5-9B, Qwen3.8-27B, and Gemma-4-31B.

_Anyone budgeting fine-tuning costs across providers can follow pricing shifts like these on daily.dev._

### How does early stopping work in Together AI's fine-tuning service?

Early stopping automatically halts a fine-tuning run once validation loss plateaus, keeping the checkpoint with the best validation loss as the final model rather than the last one produced. It requires a validation set, watches validation loss at every evaluation step, and automatically refunds every training step that wasn't used. Patience, sensitivity to small improvements, and warmup are all tunable parameters.

_Developers tuning training runs to avoid wasted compute can keep up with features like this via daily.dev._
