Matilda TrainSign up

Bedrock fine-tunes in the US.
We train in Australia.

Amazon Bedrock trains custom models only in US regions, and most of them then need Provisioned Throughput to serve. Here you fine-tune any open model from Matilda Code or any MCP-capable coding agent or IDE, on GPUs hosted in Australia, and download the weights.

When to stay put. If you want a customised Nova or Claude 3 Haiku and will only ever serve it inside Bedrock, use Bedrock’s customisation. Choose Matilda Train when you want to own the model, keep training in Australia, or train something their menus don’t offer.

From a prompt to your own weights, in three steps

No console to learn and no cluster to run. If you can ask your coding agent for a change, you can ask it for a model.

  1. Step 01

    Connect your agent

    Add one remote MCP server to Matilda Code, or any MCP-capable coding agent or IDE, then approve the connection in your browser. Any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP with OAuth works.

    MCP endpoint · HTTP + OAuth
    https://train.matilda.com/mcp/research
  2. Step 02

    Ask for the model you want

    Describe the run in plain language. Your agent stages the data, checks the request against your limits with research_validate, then submits a durable job that keeps running if you close the laptop.

    Example prompt
    Fine-tune Qwen3-8B on data/tickets.jsonl. Hold out 5% for eval, use 8 GPUs, and stop when eval loss stops improving.
  3. Step 03

    Take the weights

    Checkpoints and adapters land in your workspace. Download them through your agent, SSH or the HTTP API, and serve them anywhere you like.

More detail, examples and troubleshooting are in the researcher documentation.

How is this different from Bedrock, Google Cloud or Foundry fine-tuning?
Those managed services tune a fixed list of models, mostly in US or EU regions, and document no way to download a tuned Gemini, GPT-4.1 or Bedrock custom model. Matilda Train trains any open model in Australia and gives you the weights. If you specifically need a tuned Gemini or GPT-4.1, use their service. Compare each provider.
Do I own the model?
Yes. Checkpoints, adapters and merged weights are written to your workspace as standard files. Download them whenever you like and serve them anywhere. There’s no fee to keep them. The workspace guide covers downloads.
Which models can I train?
Any open-weight model your code can load, including the Qwen, Llama, Gemma, gpt-oss, Mistral and DeepSeek families. Use LoRA or QLoRA for quick adaptation, or full-parameter training when you need it. With 288 GB per GPU, larger models fit on fewer GPUs.
Which coding agents work?
Any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP with OAuth, including Matilda Code. You can start a client with read-only access and approve more permissions when a task needs them. The connection guide walks through it.
Where does my data go?
It stays on Australian infrastructure operated by Maincode. Each run is isolated, with its own identity and filesystem and no outbound internet, so training data can’t be sent elsewhere during a run. Other users, including people in your organisation, can’t see your files.

Bring your training.
Own the model.

Create your account, add compute credits and connect your coding agent. You pay by the GPU-hour, and every checkpoint is yours to download.
