   Modal Releases Open-Source Spindle Training Server

   Modal released Spindle, an open-source training server compatible with Thinking Machines' Tinker API that runs in a user's Modal workspace. It supports full-parameter training and multi-LoRA for open models, while users control the server and pay for GPU time rather than tokens. Modal says its default configurations are tuned to maximize GPU utilization and that Spindle can support hundreds of concurrent training runs at similar performance and lower cost than closed-source APIs; the release remains in beta.

   Modal launches Modal Dojo, a library for production-grade LLM training

   Modal announced Modal Dojo, a library it says provides the building blocks, tuned defaults and observability needed for production-grade LLM training, and said it is available now. The library builds on open-source frameworks Miles and Slime, to which Modal says it has contributed upstream patches, and ships an out-of-box observability dashboard covering loss and reward curves, rollout trajectories and substep profiling. Modal also says training can be started from a single prompt describing the model, dataset and target agent, and cites customer testimonials from Axiom Bio and Afterquery about long-context reinforcement-learning runs.
