🐂 Oxen.ai

Oxen.ai gives developers, creators, and teams easy access to the latest AI models, plus the data infrastructure to organize, version, collaborate on, and customize the data behind them. Use 200+ image, video, audio, and language models through one API. Save prompts, reference assets, generations, metadata, and training data into collaborative repositories. Track every change, branch experiments, and fine-tune custom models on your proprietary data. Your models are only as good as the data behind them. Oxen helps teams turn raw inputs and generated outputs into organized, reusable, version-controlled assets.

​

⚡️ Use Any Model

Access 200+ models through a unified API instead of integrating with each provider separately. Build your own product experiences on top of Oxen while keeping model inputs, outputs, and metadata stored in a data repository for auditability, reproducibility, and collaboration. Oxen.ai has models of every modality (text, images, videos, audio) from the major labs, and more. Explore the list of supported models to see what you can build.

​

🌾 Customize Your Models

Customization can start simple: managing prompts, context, reference images, and generated outputs. If prompting isn’t enough, fine-tune the model weights themselves on your proprietary datasets. In both cases, your data is what makes the model yours. Fine-tune open source models for many modalities (text, images, videos) on your proprietary data. Oxen gives you the tools to version, collaborate, and customize the data behind your models.

​

💾 Version Your Data

Track the provenance of prompts, images, videos, audio, text, labels, metadata, generations, and training examples in repositories built for large datasets. Oxen gives you git-like version control for data that can scale to terabytes. We built the version control system to be blazing fast, open source, and extensible for anyone to build upon. It can be used to version any type of data, not just machine learning datasets. It scales up to monorepos with millions of files and terabytes of data.

​

🤝 Collaborate With Your Team

Built on top of the open source Oxen version control system, Oxen.ai gives your team a web hub to work with your data, prompts, and generations at scale. Browse datasets, review generated outputs, and experiment across branches. Every contribution is versioned, so you can see who changed what, when, and why, and discard changes when an experiment doesn’t pan out. For teams with stricter requirements around data residency, compliance, or IP, Oxen.ai offers private deployments in your VPC or fully on-prem. Your proprietary data, prompts, and model weights stay in your environment, while your team gets the same collaborative tooling. Reach out to hello@oxen.ai to learn more about private deployments.

​

🤖 Own Your AI

At Oxen.ai, we believe you should own your AI. Owning your AI means making the model uniquely yours. For image and video generation, that might mean consistent style, characters, products, or brand identity. For language models, it might mean better accuracy, lower cost, stronger privacy, or deeper domain expertise. It also means owning the data behind the model. Your prompts, reference images, generations, labels, and training data live in a versioned repository, and you can read or write any of it through the Python API, HTTP API, command line, or open source server. No matter what kind of model you are building with, you should be able to train it, version it, deploy it, and improve it on your terms.

​

🌾 Why Build Oxen?

Oxen was built by a team of machine learning engineers, who have spent countless hours in their careers managing datasets and training models. We have used many different tools, but none of them were as easy to use and as ergonomic as we would like. Production grade AI applications are constantly juggling models, datasets, and code, and it’s easy to get lost. Let alone the late nights installing the proper cuda and pytorch versions. If you have every been stuck dumping massive model weights and datasets to S3 in tarballs with little visibility, we feel your pain. Oxen is the tool we wish we had to abstract away the infrastructure and focus on the fun parts of building AI applications.

​

🐂 Why the name Oxen?

“Oxen” comes from the fact that we take care of the grunt work of the infrastructure for you. Oxen love will plow, maintain, and version your data and models like a good farmer tends to their fields 🌾. During the agricultural revolution, the oxen pulling plows offloaded work and helped people specialize and start working on other important societal tasks. Let Oxen take care of the heavy infrastructure work so you can focus on solving the higher-level problems that matter to your product.
