  • Patent number: 12671713
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for utilizing a reinforcement fine-tuning pipeline to fine tune an agent machine learning (ML) model utilizing user-defined grader endpoints and/or external tools with a multi-layer security architecture. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a multi-layer security architecture to filter incoming training datasets, perform content refusal checks, chain-of-thought leak detections, and/or governance oversights prior to training the agent ML model, during active training of the agent ML model using external tools and/or grader models, and/or during post-training of the agent ML model (prior to releasing a fine-tuned snapshot of the model).

  • Patent number: 12450479
    Abstract: A system and method for tuning hyperparameters and training a model includes implementing a hyperparameter tuning service that tunes hyperparameters of a model that includes receiving, via an API, a tuning request that includes: (i) a first part comprising tuning parameters for generating tuned hyperparameter values for hyperparameters of the model; and (ii) a second part comprising model training control parameters for monitoring and controlling a training of the model, wherein the model training control parameters include criteria for generating instructions for curtailing a training run of the model; monitoring the training run for training the model based on the second part of the tuning request, wherein the monitoring of the training run includes periodically collecting training run data; and computing an advanced training curtailment instruction based on the training run data that automatically curtails the training run prior to a predefined maximum training schedule of the training run.
