Compare Compute with Hivenet vs. Tinker

Hivenet Compute gives you on-demand RTX 5090 and RTX Pro 6000 GPUs, plus vCPU instances, billed per second while they run. Hivenet owns and operates the infrastructure, with data centres in France, the UAE and the US, so EU teams can keep workloads and data in Europe. Use it for training and fine-tuning, inference, notebooks, rendering and batch jobs. Launch from ready-made templates in a few minutes, or automate everything through the public Compute API. If you'd rather not run the serving layer yourself, the Inference API gives you an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Teams get organisations with role-based access, prepaid credits, and S3-compatible object storage alongside compute.

Tinker is an innovative training API tailored for researchers and developers, providing comprehensive control over model fine-tuning while simplifying the complexities of infrastructure management. It offers essential primitives that empower users to create bespoke training loops, supervision techniques, and reinforcement learning workflows. Currently, it facilitates LoRA fine-tuning on open-weight models from both the LLama and Qwen families, accommodating a range of model sizes from smaller variants to extensive mixture-of-experts configurations. Users can write Python scripts to manage data, loss functions, and algorithmic processes, while Tinker autonomously takes care of scheduling, resource distribution, distributed training, and recovery from failures. The platform allows users to download model weights at various checkpoints without the burden of managing the computational environment. Delivered as a managed service, Tinker executes training jobs on Thinking Machines’ proprietary GPU infrastructure, alleviating users from the challenges of cluster orchestration and enabling them to focus on building and optimizing their models. This seamless integration of capabilities makes Tinker a vital tool for advancing machine learning research and development.
