Kubeflow Trainer is a Kubernetes-native platform for distributed AI model training and LLM fine-tuning across frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, and XGBoost. It orchestrates multi-node, multi-GPU jobs (including MPI workloads) via TrainJob custom resources with a Python SDK.

Use cases

• fine-tune LLMs on Kubernetes with multiple GPUs
• run distributed PyTorch training jobs across nodes
• train models with JAX or TensorFlow on a cluster
• orchestrate MPI workloads on Kubernetes
• scale HuggingFace model training with DeepSpeed
• manage ML training jobs as Kubernetes resources

When to choose

• you already run Kubernetes and need scalable distributed training
• you want LLM fine-tuning with multi-node, multi-GPU orchestration
• you need framework-agnostic training runtimes (PyTorch, JAX, XGBoost, MPI)

When to avoid

• you train small models on a single machine without a cluster
• you have no Kubernetes infrastructure or ops expertise
• you only need inference/serving rather than training
