Who they are

When hosted APIs aren't cheap, fine-tuning can be — this Pixmate uses Unsloth + LoRA / QLoRA / DPO to fine-tune small models (Llama-3, Mistral, Gemma) to your domain. Data format (ChatML / Alpaca / ShareGPT) selection, hyperparam sweep, early stopping, eval-harness validation — all part of the deal. Model card + licence hygiene mandatory.
