# TheTensor — TheTensorTune

> TheTensorTune is a free, open-source (Apache-2.0) LoRA fine-tuning workbench for large language models, packaged as a single 915 KB Python file. It provides a node-graph web UI (English + full RTL Persian), real LoRA/QLoRA training (PEFT) on built-in presets or any Hugging Face model, dataset quality reports, cost & time estimates before you start, a job queue with checkpoints and resume, multi-turn test chat, before/after perplexity comparison, GGUF export (f16, q8_0, K-quants) for llama.cpp/Ollama/LM Studio, and a full REST API with HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks. Version 1.0 passed 50 test scenarios (30 functional + 20 end-to-end) and a 6/6 security regression suite. TheTensor is the parent project; TheTensorTune is its first released tool. Site languages: English (default), Persian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, German.

## Blog

- [Why we built TheTensorTune](https://thetensor.site/?lang=en&view=post&post=why-we-built-thetensortune): the honest story behind v1.0 — what bothered us about fine-tuning tools, why everything had to fit in one Python file, and what shipped.
- [How to read a loss curve](https://thetensor.site/?lang=en&view=post&post=how-to-read-a-loss-curve): article — what a healthy curve looks like, learning-rate blowups, spotting overfitting early, and what the eval split is really for.
- [From adapter to Ollama: the export, end to end](https://thetensor.site/?lang=en&view=post&post=from-adapter-to-ollama): what an adapter is, what merging does, choosing a quant (f16/q8_0/K-quants), and getting the file running in Ollama in about a minute.
- [A dataset is a promise](https://thetensor.site/?lang=en&view=post&post=a-dataset-is-a-promise): article — formats and their intentions, realistic dataset sizes, reading the quality report, and the eval split as evidence.
- [LoRA, plainly](https://thetensor.site/?lang=en&view=post&post=lora-plainly): article — frozen base weights, a thin trainable overlay, and what rank, alpha, dropout and target layers each change; when QLoRA is worth it.
- [Small tools, honest tools](https://thetensor.site/?lang=en&view=post&post=small-tools-honest-tools): why TheTensor ships single-file, local-first software with a course built in, and why a bilingual UI is a feature.
