mlx was just a framework, no hosting

unsloth is hosted first, with open source you can host yourself or use google colab

unsloth does no finetuning. it prepares the model

Stages in Notebooks

1. install unsloth
2. initialize
3. get the model and tokenizer
4. add lora adapters for the model
5. dataprep . this is probably biggest part of the notebooks
6. train, usually with trl sft
