Interesting - this seems to target a different layer than services like Tinker (https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/announcing-tinker/). Monarch provides the infrastructure primitives while Tinker is a managed finetuning service. Could someone build something like Tinker on top of Monarch?
Nice, so the open source equivalent now exists. Meta basically commoditized Tinker's($12B valuation) value prop by giving away the infra (Monarch) and the RL framework (TorchForge). Will be interesting to see how a managed service competes with free + open source at this layer.

Yup, there's stuff like https://pytorch.org/blog/introducing-torchforge/ on top of it now

“Service Adverbs - like ‘route’ and ‘fanout’”
Grammarians are going to be big angry here. Ain’t an adverb in sight.
