JevKit – Local fine-tuning and eval studio for JEV models

Fine-tune small classifiers locally with little data, no cloud required

Problem
Developers are curious about fine-tuning small LLMs but lack guidance; JEV models gain traction for efficiency, yet easy local tuning and eval tools are missing. Projects like Shrewd and JevEval show demand but no complete workflow.
Solution
A desktop app or CLI that guides users through dataset import, model selection (JEV-compatible), one-click fine-tuning, and built-in eval (accuracy, confusion matrix). Export models for local inference.
Users
ML engineers, data scientists, indie devs building specialized classifiers on-device.
MVP
Import CSV/JSONL; integrate one or two small models; basic metrics; export to ONNX or PyTorch.
Revenue
Free community + paid pro (more models, hyperparameter search, team collab), one-time or subscription.
Why now
Edge AI and privacy push local fine-tuning; JEV and similar models are hot, but tooling is nascent—indie devs can define the standard.
