Vision-language fine-tuning

Instruction fine-tuning for vision-language models (VLMs) that reason jointly over images and text. Users can now fine-tune multimodal models using datasets combining visual inputs and natural language through the same fine-tuning workflows used for text-only models.

Capabilities:

• Upload and validate vision-language datasets with messages-based schema and image support
• Fine-tune supported VLMs: Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct and Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct
• Automatic schema validation and seamless job creation
• Standard instruction tuning workflow with no separate multimodal configuration required

ℹ️

This release supports instruction tuning only. Reinforcement learning and preference tuning are not yet supported for vision-language models.

Tools library

Centralized workspace for managing agent tools across your organization. The tool library serves as a single source of truth where users can create, update, delete, and duplicate tools independently of agent configuration.

Capabilities:

• Create and manage web search and file search tools with custom configurations.
• View code interpreter and custom function tools (read-only).
• Duplicate existing tools to create variations with modified configurations.
• Automatic propagation of tool updates to all agents using that tool.
• Select pre-created tools during agent creation or create new tools inline.
• Query tools by type and status, and view which agents are using specific tools.

Tool changes automatically redeploy linked active agents to reflect updates across your organization.

Ingestion insights

Real-time visibility into file ingestion status across Alignment and VectorDB endpoints. Every uploaded file receives its own persistent ingestion record that tracks progress through conversion, alignment, and vectorization.

Capabilities:

• Per-file status tracking (queued, running, completed, failed) with queue position and timestamps.
• Plain-language error messages with suggested fixes.
• Structured metadata through file_records view showing which files are processing, completed, or blocked.
• Consistent response schema across Alignment and VectorDB endpoints.

This visibility layer enables faster self-service debugging and reduces support escalations during onboarding, proofs of concept, and production workflows.

Multi-node fine-tuning

Distributed training across multiple compute nodes for improved fine-tuning performance and scalability. Multi-node fine-tuning distributes training jobs across multiple physical nodes (each with 8 GPUs), enabling parallel execution rather than single-machine training.

Capabilities:

• Support for 1–4 nodes (up to 32 GPUs total)
• Configure node count via n_node parameter in InfrastructureConfig
• Automatic distributed orchestration and synchronization
• Immediate validation of supported n_node / n_accel combinations

This enables reduced training time for larger datasets, better compute allocation matching dataset size and training needs, and establishes the foundation for future support of larger models.

LoRA fine-tuning

SeekrFlow now supports low-rank adaptation (LoRA) support for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. LoRA trains small adapter layers while keeping the base model frozen, enabling faster training cycles and reduced computational costs compared to full fine-tuning.

Capabilities:

• Fine-tune models using LoRA with SFT and GRPO workflows
• Lower GPU memory requirements enable fine-tuning of larger models
• Reduced risk of catastrophic forgetting
• Configure via lora_config parameter in TrainingConfig (includes rank, alpha, and advanced fields)

User interface parity with Seekr-managed instance

Self-hosted instances now include all features and improvements released to Seekr-managed instances through September 2025. This release brings self-hosted deployments to feature parity with the managed interface, including SeekrFlow Explainability, Agent Observability Platform, Docstring Validation, AI Ready Data Engine quality enhancements, and SeekrFlow Helm Chart v2.0.

Faster file ingestion

Significantly faster document processing across all file sizes and ingestion modes (speed and accuracy optimized).

Performance improvements:

• 5 MB PDFs: complete in under 35 seconds
• Small text-based documents: complete in under 6 seconds

Actual ingestion times vary based on file size and content. Both speed and accuracy modes now process documents substantially faster regardless of workload,

Chunking strategies for document ingestion

Multiple chunking strategies for vector database ingestion, enabling optimized document processing based on content type and use case.

Available strategies:

• Manual chunking: Use custom delimiters (---DOCUMENT_BREAK---) to define chunk boundaries, ideal for resume collections or document compilations where each document should remain intact.
• Semantic chunking: Group content based on semantic similarity using embedding models, maintaining coherence for long-form content.
• Sliding window chunking: Simple fixed-size chunks with configurable overlap, suitable for uniform processing without content-aware splitting.
• Markdown chunking (existing): Split documents based on markdown heading hierarchy while preserving table structures.

All strategies respect token limits and include fallback handling for sections exceeding maximum token counts.

Agent Observability Platform

SeekrFlow now includes an observability platform that gives developers full visibility into agent execution. Through detailed traces, spans, and performance metrics, users can see how agents process inputs, make decisions, and produce outputs—step by step.

Key Capabilities

• Automatic trace and span collection for all agent operations.
• Capture of tool calls, LLM inferences, and execution flows.
• SDK access for querying and analyzing agent runs.

This update removes the “black box” from agent behavior, enabling validation, auditability, and performance optimization. With complete observability, teams can deploy Seekr agents in production with confidence and transparency.

Docstring Validation for Custom Functions

This update enhances the performance and reliability of SeekrFlow Agent Custom Tools by introducing docstring validation, a system that automatically checks function documentation before deployment.

Key capabilities

• Validates Python function docstrings against the Google format during create() or update().
• Ensures all parameters, types, and return values are correctly defined.
• Consolidates documentation into a single source of truth, removing duplicate or conflicting descriptions.

Docstring validation improves both development clarity and runtime performance. Clear, validated function definitions help agents determine when to invoke tools, accurately map parameters, and reduce execution errors—resulting in faster, more predictable performance and a smoother user experience.
