Installation

The current recommended way to install Refiners is from source using Rye:

git clone "[email protected]:finegrain-ai/refiners.git"
cd refiners
rye sync --all-features

Documentation

Refiners comes with a MkDocs-based documentation website available at https://refine.rs. You will find there a quick start guide, a description of the key concepts, as well as in-depth foundation model adaptation guides.

Awesome Adaptation Papers

If you're interested in understanding the diversity of use cases for foundation model adaptation (potentially beyond the specific adapters supported by Refiners), we suggest you take a look at these outstanding papers:

• ControlNet
• T2I-Adapter
• IP-Adapter
• Medical SAM Adapter
• 3DSAM-adapter
• SAM-adapter
• Cross Modality Attention Adapter
• UniAdapter
