### Execute code + heal Tool calling

Unsloth Studio lets LLMs run Bash and Python, not just JavaScript. It also sandboxes programs like Claude Artifacts so models can test code, generate files, and verify answers with real computation.

E.g. Qwen3.5-4B searched 20+ websites and cited sources, with web search happening inside its thinking trace.

### **No-code training**

[Upload PDF, CSV, JSON](#data-recipes) docs, or YAML configs and start training instantly on NVIDIA. Unsloth’s kernels optimize LoRA, FP8, FFT, PT across 500+ text, vision, TTS/audio and embedding models.

Fine-tune the latest LLMs like [Qwen3.5](https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.5/fine-tune) and NVIDIA [Nemotron 3](https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/nemotron-3). [Multi-GPU](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/multi-gpu-training-with-unsloth) works automatically, with a new version coming.

### Data Recipes

[**Data Recipes**](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio/data-recipe) transforms your docs into useable / synthetic datasets via graph-node workflow. Upload unstructured or structured files like PDFs, CSV and JSON. Unsloth Data Recipes, powered by NVIDIA Nemo [Data Designer](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/DataDesigner), auto turns documents into your desired formats.

## ⚡ Quickstart

Unsloth Studio works on Windows, Linux, WSL and MacOS (chat only currently).

* **CPU:** Unsloth still works without a GPU, but only for [Chat](#run-models-locally) inference and [Data Recipes](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio/data-recipe).
* **Training:** Works on **NVIDIA**: RTX 30, 40, 50, Blackwell, DGX Spark/Station etc. + **Intel** GPUs
* **Mac:** Like CPU - Chat and [Data Recipes](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio/data-recipe) only works for now. **MLX** training coming very soon.
* **AMD:** Chat works. Train with [Unsloth Core](https://unsloth.ai/docs/get-started/install/amd). Studio support is coming soon.
* **Coming soon:** Training support for **Apple MLX** and **AMD.**
* **Multi-GPU:** Works already, with a major upgrade on the way.

Use the same install commands below to update:

### **MacOS, Linux, WSL:**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | sh
```

### **Windows PowerShell:**

```bash
irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

#### Launch Unsloth

```bash
unsloth studio -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8888
```

### Docker:

Use our official **Docker image**: [`unsloth/unsloth`](https://hub.docker.com/r/unsloth/unsloth) which currently works for Windows, WSL and Linux. MacOS support coming soon.

{% code overflow="wrap" expandable="true" %}

```bash
docker run -d -e JUPYTER_PASSWORD="mypassword" \
  -p 8888:8888 -p 8000:8000 -p 2222:22 \
  -v $(pwd)/work:/workspace/work \
  --gpus all \
  unsloth/unsloth
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**First install should now be 6x faster and with 50% reduced size due to precompiled llama.cpp binaries.**
{% endhint %}

### <i class="fa-google">:google:</i> Google Colab notebook

We’ve created a [free Google Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/unslothai/unsloth/blob/main/studio/Unsloth_Studio_Colab.ipynb) so you can explore all of Unsloth’s features on Colab’s T4 GPUs. You can train and run most models up to 22B parameters, and switch to a larger GPU for bigger models. Just Click 'Run all' and the UI should pop up after installation.

**Scroll further down, to see the actual UI.**

{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
We now precompile llama.cpp binaries for much faster install speeds.

Sometimes the Studio link may return an error. This happens because you might be using an adblocker or Mozilla or Google Colab expects you to stay on the Colab page; if it detects inactivity, it may shut down the GPU session. Nevertheless, you can scroll down a bit&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## <i class="fa-seedling">:seedling:</i> Workflow

Here is a usual workflow of Unsloth Studio to get you started:

1. Launch Studio from [install instructions](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio/install).
2. Load a model from local files or a supported integration.
3. Import training data from PDFs, CSVs, or JSONL files, or build a dataset from scratch.
4. Clean, refine, and expand your dataset in [Data Recipes](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio/data-recipe).
5. Start training with recommended presets or customize the config yourself.
6. Chat with the trained model and compare its outputs against the base model.
7. [Save or export](#export-save-models) locally to the stack you already use.

## <i class="fa-comments-question">:comments-question:</i> FAQ

**Does Unsloth collect or store data?**\
Unsloth does not collect usage telemetry. Unsloth only collects the minimal hardware information required for compatibility, such as GPU type and device (e.g. Mac). Unsloth Studio runs 100% offline and locally.

**How do I use an old / exisiting model that I downloaded previously from Hugging Face?**\
Yes, you can use pre-exisiting/old models or GGUFs that you previously downloaded from Hugging Face etc. They should be now be automatically detected by Unsloth otherwise read our [instructions here](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/chat#using-old-existing-gguf-models).

**Why is inference sometimes slower in Unsloth?**\
Unsloth, like other local inference apps, are powered by llama.cpp, so speeds should be mostly the same. Sometimes Unsloth might be because you turned on web-search, code execution, self-healing tool-calling on. All these features may make your inference slower. If the speed difference is still slower with all features turned off, please make a GitHub issue!

**Does Unsloth Studio support OpenAI-compatible APIs?**\
Yes, for our Data Recipes it does. For inference we are working on this and hope to release support for it as soon as this week so stay tuned!

**Is Unsloth now licensed under AGPL-3.0?**\
Unsloth uses a dual-licensing model of Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0. The core Unsloth package remains licensed under [**Apache 2.0**](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth?tab=Apache-2.0-1-ov-file), while certain optional components, such as the Unsloth Studio UI are licensed [**AGPL-3.0**](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth?tab=AGPL-3.0-2-ov-file).

This structure helps support ongoing Unsloth development while keeping the project open source and enabling the broader ecosystem to continue growing.

**Does Studio only support LLMs?**\
No. Studio supports a range of supported `transformers` compatible model families, including text, multimodal models, [text-to-speech](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/text-to-speech-tts-fine-tuning), audio, [embeddings](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/embedding-finetuning), and BERT-style models.

**Can I use my own training config?**\
Yes. Import a YAML config and Studio will pre-fill the relevant settings.

**How can I adjust my context length?**\
Context length adjustment is no longer necessary with llama.cpp’s smart auto context, which uses only the context you need without loading anything extra. However, soon we will still add the feature incase you want to use it.

**Do you need to train models to use the UI?**\
No, you can just download any GGUF or model without fine-tuning any model.

#### Future of Unsloth

We're working hard to make open-source AI as accessible as possible. Coming next for Unsloth and Unsloth Studio, we're releasing official support for: multi-GPU, Apple Silicon/MLX and AMD. Reminder this is the BETA version of Unsloth Studio so expect a lot of announcements and improvements in the coming weeks. We’re also working closely with NVIDIA on multi-GPU support to deliver the best and simplest experience possible.

#### Acknowledgements

A huge thank you to NVIDIA and Hugging Face for being part of our launch. Also thanks to all of our early beta testers for Unsloth Studio, we truly appreciate your time and feedback. We’d also like to thank llama.cpp, PyTorch and open model labs for providing the infrastructure that made Unsloth Studio possible.
