Liquid AI releases fine-tuning harness for AI agents

Liquid AI introduces Liquid Harness, an autonomous agent that automates data pipelines, sample scoring, filtering, and model fine-tuning from a plain-English description, requiring no ML experience.

From zero to a fine-tuned LFM in under an hour.

An AI platform for building better AIs, faster. Liquid Harness is an autonomous agent that takes a plain-English description of your task and ships a deployable model. It writes the data pipeline, scores and filters samples, runs baselines, fine-tunes, and iterates — no ML experience required.

Request beta access How it works

Get started

$ uv pip install lqh # or: pip install lqh

$ lqh --auto ./my-task [stage: rubric] writing scorer from spec [stage: data_gen_draft] 5 samples generated, all valid [stage: filter_validation] 1,427 / 2,000 kept [stage: sft_initial] score 6.8/10 (baseline 4.1) [stage: dpo] iter 3/5, score 7.4/10 [final: success] DPO checkpoint beats baseline by +3.3

Fine-tuning is one step. lqh does the other eight.

One command runs the full pipeline. Each stage is a real component you can inspect, stop at, or hand off.

Specify in plain English

The agent interviews you about the task and writes a SPEC.md that drives every downstream stage. No DSL, no boilerplate, no ML jargon.

Synthetic data, scored & filtered

lqh authors a per-task data pipeline, generates samples concurrently, and scores each one with an LLM judge against your rubric. The dataset that hits training is already curated.

Hands-off with --auto

Point lqh at a directory and walk away. It either delivers a checkpoint that beats baseline or returns an explicit failure with the reason — never a hang, never a prompt.

Watch lqh ship a model in one run.

A short walkthrough — spec to deployable checkpoint, end to end.

Built on Liquid Foundation Models

The first-party way to customize an LFM.

Liquid Harness is built and maintained by Liquid AI as the official tool for adapting Liquid Foundation Models — small, capable models that run anywhere — to your specific task. Default base model: LFM2-1.2B-Instruct.

Customize your first model in an afternoon.
