Toloka Train

Platform

by Toloka

A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.

Metered on compute only: 'You're only charged for the GPU-seconds you use. Not for the estimate, and never for a run we rejected.' An estimated hold is placed up front and reconciled after the run, with the unused balance returned automatically; 'Runs are strictly capped at six hours, so you never overpay.' No published GPU-second rate card, no subscription and no minimum, so the floor to adopt is 0. A fully managed alternative is sold by quote via 'talk to our team'.

Fetched. Every access route on the page is a Toloka Platform URL (platform.toloka.ai/fine-tuning, platform.toloka.ai/prompt-gisting) and toloka.ai/self-service-ml lists Prompt Gisting and Fine-Tune among the Toloka Platform's self-serve tools. The page carries no explicit packaging sentence; this value is recorded from the access route and is the weaker kind of evidence.

Also from Toloka

• Toloka Platform Data service

  A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.

• Toloka Arena Platform

  An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.

• Tendem AI agent

  A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.

• Off-the-shelf Datasets Data service

  Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.

• Toloka Physical AI Data service

  Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.
