Decision brief

Fondant is designed for Python users needing to create efficient data pipelines for processing, fine-tuning ML models, sharing these workflows.

Good fit when

When you require a tool that simplifies the creation of machine-learning data pipelines and supports community sharing.
Suitable if your workflow includes fine-tuning existing large foundation models.

Avoid when

Avoid using Fondant if you prefer tools without Python-centric integration or seek non-sharing-friendly development environments.
Not recommended for workflows that do not involve machine learning data processing or large model training.
