From ad-hoc RAG pipeline development to hyperparallel experimentation
In the time it takes to process one sequential configuration, RapidFire AI tests multiple
configurations in parallel, surfaces higher eval scores earlier, and immediately launches additional
informed comparisons — accelerating discovery within the same time.

Need to explore alternative generator models and agentic RAG workflows.
Requires configuring many knobs: prompts, chunking, embedding, retrieval, reranking, etc.
Difficult to track and understand what impacts grounding and eval metrics.

What is RapidFire AI, and what problem does it solve?
RapidFire AI is an open-source experimentation engine that makes it 20× faster to fine-tune, post-train, and ground large language models. Traditional LLM customization is slow, sequential, and resource-intensive — you test one configuration at a time, wasting GPUs and developer hours. RapidFire turns that into a hyperparallel, adaptive workflow where you can launch, compare, and control many configurations in real time from a single notebook or dashboard.
