🚀 What is OktoEngine?

OktoEngine is the official execution engine for OktoScript—a powerful CLI tool that transforms declarative AI configurations into trained, production-ready models.

Built for Scale

OktoEngine is engineered to handle:

✅ Models of any size - From millions to billions of parameters
✅ Complex training pipelines - Full fine-tuning, LoRA adapters, and more
✅ Production workloads - Optimized for real-world AI development
✅ Enterprise-grade reliability - Robust error handling and validation

Why OktoEngine?

Traditional Approach:

# Hundreds of lines of Python code
# Complex configuration management
# Error-prone manual setup
# Difficult to reproduce

With OktoEngine:

PROJECT "MyModel"
MODEL { base: "gpt2" }
DATASET { train: "dataset/train.jsonl" }
TRAIN { epochs: 5, batch_size: 32 }
EXPORT { format: ["okm"] }

One command: okto train → Trained model ready for deployment
