Fondant : Large-scale data processing made easy and reusablehttps://fondant.ai/en/stable/
Fondant is an open-source framework designed to simplify and accelerate large-scale data processing. It allows for the reuse of containerized components across pipelines and execution environments, enabling sharing within the community. Fondant provides plug-and-play pipelines for various tasks such as AI image generation model fine-tuning, large language model fine-tuning, and code generation model fine-tuning. It also offers a library of reusable components for tasks such as data extraction, filtering, removal of unwanted content, data transformation, data tuning, and data enrichment. The framework supports multimodal capabilities, standardized Python/Pandas-based custom component creation, and production-ready scalable deployment. It also integrates with multiple cloud platforms. Fondant's main goal is to give users control over their data and simplify the building of pipelines for large-scale data processing. The text provides information on how to get started with Fondant and showcases example pipelines for tasks like filtering a creative commons image dataset and fine-tuning models like ControlNet and Stable Diffusion.
