Getting Started with ALTAI

ALTAI is a platform for building synthetic datasets from your documents and fine-tuning models on that data.

What you can build

• Synthetic datasets — Turn your uploaded files (PDF, DOCX, RTF, HTML, TXT) into conversational training data using the Afterimage generation stack.
• Fine-tuned models — Train models (like Qwen3, Gemma, or Llama variants) on your datasets using Cinderflow, our purpose-built workflow runner.
• Other modes — Additional run modes like RAG and Zero-tune are available, with Agents and Evaluation coming soon.

Create your account

1. Go to app.altai.dev and click Sign in to access the auth page.
2. On the Sign Up tab, enter a valid email and a password (at least 8 characters), or sign in with Google or GitHub.
3. After signing in, you will land on the Dashboard, where you can view your projects, runs, and credit balance.

Organizations and Teammates

ALTAI uses organization-based billing and collaboration. When you sign up, a "Personal Team" organization is automatically created for you.

• Roles: There are three types of roles within an organization: Owner, Admin, and Member.
• As the creator, you automatically become the Owner. You can invite teammates as Admins or Members, and Admins can also manage Members within the organization.
• You can create additional organizations to keep different teams or billing separate.

Projects and Workspace

Projects are bound to an organization. Each project has its own workspace consisting of:

• Runs — synthetic dataset jobs, fine-tuning jobs, etc.
• Files — documents you upload for generation and training.

Credits and Billing

Credits are Altai’s internal unit for consumption and are tied to your organization. When a project consumes credits, they are deducted from its parent organization's balance.

• Synthetic dataset generation consumes credits based on LLM token usage during generation.
• Fine-tuning consumes credits based on GPU job cost from the training system.

You can view your organization's balance and top-up from the Account page, where checkout is handled via Creem. You can also enforce a minimum credit balance and set credit budgets for specific runs.
