Why AWS Bedrock for this
Orqent Labs fine-tunes and distils models for teams with genuine volume, where the economics of inference have started to matter more than the ceiling of capability.
AWS Bedrock is strongest at regional data residency and native IAM integration for enterprises already on AWS. For custom model fine-tuning that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: model availability lags direct provider APIs by weeks to months. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

We are not a reseller for AWS and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Honest assessment of whether fine-tuning is warranted
- Training data curation and quality review
- LoRA or full fine-tune as the workload justifies
- Evaluation against the prompted baseline
- Inference deployment and cost comparison
- Retraining pipeline as your data grows
Questions
Should we fine-tune?
Usually not first. Prompting and retrieval solve most problems more cheaply. Fine-tuning wins for consistent format, narrow domain style, and high-volume tasks where a smaller model can replace a larger one.
How much data do we need?
For LoRA on a narrow task, often a few thousand high-quality examples. Quality matters far more than volume. We review the dataset before training anything.
Can we own the model?
With open-weight base models, yes. You hold the weights and can run them on your own infrastructure indefinitely.
Alternatives for custom model fine-tuning
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
