You are certainly right, managed platforms make finetuning much easier. But managed/closed model finetuning is pretty limited and in fact should be named “distribution modeling” or something.

Results with this method are significantly more limited compared to all the power open-weight finetuning gives you (and the skillset needed in return).

And in either case don’t forget alignment and evals.

I am not sure I understand why you are so certain that finetuned top market models, built by top researchers will be significantly worse than whatever open source model you pick.
