- Local model post-training toolkit
- Free access
- Apache-2.0 CLI is free with no signup; own hardware, datasets, model licenses and optional external services remain separate.
- API access
- CLI, MCP and OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible serving are described; fourteen read-only, two planning and two token-gated execution MCP tools are listed.
Is Soup CLI right for you?
A good fit for
Relevant to engineers evaluating reproducible local fine-tuning and model-quality gates.
Before you choose
Python 3.10–3.12. Soup Zero desktop workbench is coming soon; live product is CLI. Layer streaming is beta, limited to documented transformer/text/plain-LoRA paths; memory still depends on logits, batch and vocabulary. Older laptop throughput measurements predate a correctness repair and were not remeasured, so cannot establish current speed. Public defects and rerun requirements warrant checking the exact release before training. Regulation-shaped templates and signed provenance do not establish legal compliance. Offline trace exports differ from optional live pulls. No install, training, model serve or benchmark was performed.
Workflow and handoff
Use a small licensed fictional dataset, pin versions and examine saved adapter tensors and held-out evaluations before accepting a ship verdict.
