Provides a single configuration-driven interface to fine-tune 100+ model families (LLaMA, Qwen, GLM, Mistral, Gemma, Yi, DeepSeek, etc.) by abstracting model-specific loading logic through a centralized model registry and adapter system. The framework uses HuggingFace Transformers as the base loader, then applies model-specific patches and configurations via a modular patching system that handles architecture variations, attention mechanisms, and special token handling without requiring separate codebases per model.
Unique: Uses a centralized model registry with model-specific patching system (in model_utils/) that applies architecture-aware modifications at load time, enabling single codebase to handle 100+ models without forking logic per model family. Contrasts with alternatives like Hugging Face's native approach which requires per-model integration.
vs alternatives: Supports 100+ models through unified config vs. alternatives like Axolotl or Lit-GPT which require separate configs/code per model family, reducing maintenance burden for multi-model deployments.
Implements multiple parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods through a pluggable adapter architecture that wraps model layers without modifying base weights. Supports LoRA (low-rank decomposition), QLoRA (quantized LoRA for 4-bit models), and OFT (orthogonal fine-tuning) by integrating with HuggingFace PEFT library and extending it with custom implementations. The adapter system allows selective application to specific layer types (attention, MLP) and supports merging adapters back into base weights or keeping them separate for inference.
Unique: Integrates HuggingFace PEFT as base layer but extends with custom OFT implementation and model-specific adapter target selection logic that automatically identifies which layers to adapt based on model architecture, reducing manual configuration. Supports dynamic adapter merging/unmerging during inference via the adapter system.
vs alternatives: Unified adapter interface supporting LoRA, QLoRA, and OFT with automatic layer targeting vs. alternatives like Hugging Face's native PEFT which requires manual target_modules specification and lacks OFT support.
Enables exporting fine-tuned models and adapters in multiple formats (PyTorch, SafeTensors, GGUF, GPTQ) and merging adapters back into base model weights for deployment. The export system handles format conversion, quantization during export (e.g., exporting to GPTQ format), and adapter merging which combines LoRA weights with base model weights through a weighted sum operation. Supports exporting to HuggingFace Hub for easy sharing, and includes format-specific optimizations (e.g., GGUF export includes quantization and can target specific hardware like CPU or mobile).
Unique: Supports exporting to 4+ formats (PyTorch, SafeTensors, GGUF, GPTQ) with format-specific optimizations and quantization, plus adapter merging that combines LoRA weights with base model through weighted sum. Integrates with HuggingFace Hub for easy sharing.
vs alternatives: Multi-format export with adapter merging vs. alternatives like Hugging Face's native export which is format-specific, enabling deployment across diverse hardware (GPU, CPU, mobile) from a single fine-tuned model.
Integrates custom optimizers (GaLore, BAdam, APOLLO) that improve training efficiency beyond standard Adam by reducing memory usage or improving convergence. GaLore (Gradient Low-Rank Projection) projects gradients into a low-rank subspace, reducing optimizer state memory by 50-70%. BAdam (Block-wise Adam) partitions parameters into blocks and maintains separate optimizer states per block, improving convergence on large models. APOLLO applies adaptive learning rates per parameter group. These optimizers are pluggable through the training system and can be selected via configuration.
Unique: Integrates 3 advanced optimizers (GaLore, BAdam, APOLLO) as pluggable alternatives to Adam/AdamW, with automatic memory and convergence tracking. Each optimizer is selectable via configuration without code changes.
vs alternatives: Unified optimizer interface supporting GaLore, BAdam, APOLLO vs. alternatives like Hugging Face Trainer which only supports standard Adam/AdamW, enabling advanced optimization techniques without custom training loops.
Provides a flexible dataset loading system that supports 50+ dataset formats (Alpaca, ShareGPT, OpenAI, JSONL, CSV, Parquet, etc.) through a template-based approach that maps raw data to standardized training formats. Each dataset format has a corresponding template that defines how to extract instruction, input, output, and history fields from the raw data. The system handles dataset discovery (from HuggingFace Hub or local paths), automatic format detection, and data validation. Custom templates can be defined in YAML to support new formats without code changes.
Unique: Implements a template-based dataset loading system supporting 50+ formats through YAML templates that map raw data to standardized training formats. Custom templates can be defined without code changes, enabling support for arbitrary dataset structures.
vs alternatives: Template-based dataset loading supporting 50+ formats vs. alternatives like Hugging Face's native approach which requires custom data loading scripts, reducing boilerplate for multi-format datasets.
Integrates training callbacks that track metrics, log to external services (TensorBoard, Weights & Biases, Wandb), and trigger custom actions during training. The callback system hooks into the training loop at key points (step, epoch, validation) and enables custom metric computation, early stopping, learning rate scheduling, and model checkpointing. Built-in callbacks include loss tracking, gradient norm monitoring, learning rate logging, and stage-specific metrics (e.g., reward model accuracy, PPO policy divergence). Custom callbacks can be defined by extending a base class.
Unique: Integrates multiple logging backends (TensorBoard, Weights & Biases) through a unified callback system with stage-specific metrics (e.g., reward model accuracy, PPO divergence). Custom callbacks can be defined by extending a base class.
vs alternatives: Unified callback system supporting multiple logging backends vs. Hugging Face Trainer which requires separate integrations, enabling easier experiment tracking across tools.
Orchestrates sequential training stages (pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, reward modeling, PPO, DPO, KTO, ORPO, SimPO) through a stage-aware trainer system that swaps loss functions, data collators, and optimization strategies based on the selected training_stage parameter. Each stage has a dedicated trainer class (SFTTrainer, RewardTrainer, PPOTrainer, etc.) that inherits from HuggingFace Trainer and implements stage-specific logic like preference pair handling for reward models or policy gradient computation for PPO. The configuration system validates stage transitions and manages data format expectations per stage.
Unique: Implements 8 distinct training stages (SFT, RM, PPO, DPO, KTO, ORPO, SimPO) through a unified trainer abstraction that swaps loss functions and data collators per stage, with automatic data format validation. Extends HuggingFace Trainer with stage-specific callbacks for metrics tracking (e.g., reward model accuracy, PPO policy divergence).
vs alternatives: Supports 8 alignment methods in one framework vs. alternatives like TRL (which focuses on PPO) or Axolotl (which has limited DPO/ORPO support), enabling direct comparison of alignment approaches without switching tools.
Centralizes all training, inference, and data parameters through a unified configuration parser (hparams/parser.py) that accepts YAML/JSON files and validates inputs against typed argument classes (ModelArguments, DataArguments, TrainingArguments, etc.). The parser converts flat configuration dictionaries into strongly-typed Python dataclasses, performs cross-field validation (e.g., ensuring adapter_name_or_path exists if adapter_type is set), and distributes validated arguments to the appropriate subsystems. This eliminates the need for command-line argument parsing and enables reproducible training via version-controlled config files.
Unique: Implements a centralized parser that validates all 5 argument types (Model, Data, Training, Generation, Finetuning) against typed dataclasses with cross-field validation logic, enabling single source of truth for configuration. Supports both YAML and JSON with automatic format detection and command-line override capability.
vs alternatives: Unified config validation across all subsystems vs. alternatives like Hugging Face Trainer which requires separate argument parsing, reducing configuration errors and improving reproducibility.

Crawls 11+ heterogeneous platforms (Zhihu, Weibo, Bilibili, Twitter, Reddit, HackerNews, etc.) and RSS feeds using platform-specific scrapers, normalizes disparate data schemas into a unified NewsItem model, and deduplicates content across sources using fuzzy title matching and URL canonicalization. The system maintains platform-specific metadata (rank, heat value, engagement metrics) while presenting a single normalized feed, enabling cross-platform trend detection that would be invisible within individual platform silos.
Unique: Implements platform-specific crawler modules with unified NewsItem schema and fuzzy deduplication across 11+ heterogeneous sources (Chinese + international), rather than relying on single-platform APIs or generic RSS parsing. Maintains platform-specific metadata (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform hot value × 0.1) for weighted hotspot scoring.
vs alternatives: Covers more platforms (especially Chinese social media) with deeper metadata extraction than generic RSS aggregators, and provides unified deduplication across sources unlike single-platform monitoring tools.
Implements a multi-stage filtering pipeline that matches news items against user-defined keywords using regex patterns, required word lists, and excluded word lists. The system applies frequency-based scoring (keyword occurrence count) combined with platform hotspot weights to rank filtered results. Configuration is stored in frequency_words.txt with support for regex patterns, AND/OR/NOT boolean operators, and per-keyword weighting. Filtering occurs at collection time (reducing storage) and again at report generation time (enabling dynamic reconfiguration without re-crawling).
Unique: Combines regex pattern matching with frequency-based scoring and platform hotspot weighting (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform hot value × 0.1) in a two-stage pipeline (collection-time and report-time filtering). Supports dynamic reconfiguration without re-crawling by applying filters at report generation.
TrendRadar scores higher at 58/100 vs LlamaFactory at 39/100.

Search the match graph →© 2026 Unfragile. Stronger through disorder.
vs alternatives: More flexible than simple keyword matching (supports regex and boolean logic) and more efficient than semantic filtering (no LLM overhead), making it suitable for real-time filtering at scale.
Detects newly emerged topics by comparing current crawl results against historical data stored in the system. Topics are marked as 🆕 (new) if they appear for the first time in the current crawl or if their hotspot rank increased significantly compared to previous crawls. The system tracks topic emergence velocity (how quickly a topic rises in rankings) and flags topics with unusual acceleration. New topic detection is performed at report generation time, enabling dynamic detection without re-crawling. The system maintains a historical hotspot index for comparison.
Unique: Detects new topics by comparing current hotspot rankings against historical data, marking topics with significant rank increases as 🆕. Tracks emergence velocity to distinguish breaking news from sustained trends.
vs alternatives: More efficient than semantic similarity detection (no LLM overhead) and more accurate than simple first-appearance detection (accounts for re-emerging topics), but requires historical baseline data.
Provides a web-based UI for editing TrendRadar configuration files (config.yaml, frequency_words.txt, timeline.yaml) with real-time validation and preview. The editor supports: (1) syntax highlighting for YAML and regex, (2) validation of keyword patterns (regex compilation check), (3) preview of filtered results based on current keyword configuration, (4) drag-and-drop channel configuration, (5) schedule preview (shows next 10 execution times). Changes are validated before saving, preventing configuration errors. The editor is optional; users can edit config files directly.
Unique: Provides web-based configuration editor with real-time validation, regex preview, and schedule visualization. Enables non-technical users to configure TrendRadar without editing YAML files.
vs alternatives: More user-friendly than manual YAML editing and provides validation feedback, but adds operational complexity compared to file-based configuration.
Integrates LiteLLM to provide vendor-agnostic AI analysis and summarization of filtered news items. Users configure their preferred LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local models, etc.) once in config.yaml, and the system automatically routes analysis requests to that provider. The AI analysis capability includes: (1) automated summarization of long articles into key points, (2) sentiment analysis (positive/negative/neutral), (3) trend prediction based on historical patterns, and (4) custom analysis prompts. Analysis results are cached to avoid redundant API calls and can be pushed directly to notification channels.
Unique: Uses LiteLLM abstraction layer to support any LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local models) with single configuration, enabling provider switching without code changes. Caches analysis results to reduce redundant API calls and costs.
vs alternatives: More flexible than hardcoded OpenAI integration (supports any LiteLLM provider) and cheaper than dedicated sentiment analysis APIs (can use local models), but slower than rule-based sentiment analysis.
Leverages LiteLLM to translate news content from source languages (primarily Chinese) to target languages (English, etc.) on-demand. The system detects source language automatically (via langdetect or similar), caches translations to avoid re-translating identical content, and batches translation requests to reduce API calls. Translations are stored alongside original content, enabling bilingual reports and multi-language notification delivery. Translation can be triggered at collection time (all news) or report time (only filtered news).
Unique: Implements provider-agnostic translation via LiteLLM with automatic language detection, content-based caching, and batch request optimization. Stores translations alongside originals for bilingual report generation.
vs alternatives: More flexible than dedicated translation APIs (supports any LiteLLM provider) and cheaper than commercial translation services when using local models, but slower than specialized translation APIs.
Implements a notification abstraction layer supporting 9+ delivery channels (WeChat, WeWork, Feishu, Telegram, Email, ntfy, Bark, Slack, etc.). Each channel has a provider-specific formatter that converts normalized news items into channel-appropriate messages (e.g., WeChat card format, Telegram markdown, email HTML). The system batches notifications atomically—all news items for a report are sent as a single batch to each channel, ensuring consistency and reducing API calls. Message formatting respects channel constraints (character limits, attachment limits, etc.) and supports templating for customization.
Unique: Implements atomic message batching across 9+ heterogeneous channels with provider-specific formatters and constraint-aware truncation. Single configuration enables simultaneous delivery to WeChat, WeWork, Feishu, Telegram, Email, ntfy, Bark, Slack, etc. without code changes.
vs alternatives: Supports more channels (especially Chinese platforms like WeWork, Feishu) than generic notification services, and batching reduces API calls and spam compared to per-item notifications.
Exposes TrendRadar's data and analysis capabilities as an MCP server, enabling AI agents and LLM applications to query trends, perform analysis, and generate insights through natural language. The MCP server implements tools for: (1) querying filtered news by keyword/date/platform, (2) retrieving trend statistics and hotspot rankings, (3) running custom analysis on news subsets, (4) generating reports in various formats. Clients (Claude, other LLM agents) can invoke these tools via MCP protocol, enabling conversational exploration of trends without direct database access. The server maintains state across multiple requests, allowing multi-turn conversations about trends.
Unique: Implements full MCP server exposing trend data and analysis tools to LLM agents, enabling conversational queries and multi-turn analysis workflows. Maintains state across requests and supports complex tool invocations (filtering, analysis, report generation).
vs alternatives: Enables conversational access to trends (vs. API-only access) and integrates with LLM agent workflows (vs. standalone tools), but adds operational complexity compared to simple REST APIs.
