full primer →The kernel.
The base model can't hold fine printmaking's structural rules under pressure; a short Tinker SFT run on schema-locked examples teaches it the shape so painters get valid output on the first try, every time.
Why this primitivesft-format enforces edition markup schema via masked structured loss.
Kernel
Supervised fine-tuning on `(input, structured_output)` pairs — JSON, DSLs, chord charts, poetic forms, lesson plans. Same Tinker SFT loop as instruction tuning, but the loss mask covers a rigid target schema so the model learns the shape as much as the content.
Drives the UI as
a report page showing the target schema, base-model failures, and post-training generations that hold the shape
Required key.
TINKER_API_KEY
Single key for every Tinker post-training call — SFT, RL, DPO. Used ONLY at build time inside Lovable's Linux sandbox; the deployed Worker never touches Tinker.

CONCEPT
Fine-tune Qwen/Qwen3-8B on 50 (edition brief, markup JSON) pairs so the model outputs print specs as JSON.
Discipline: Visual Art (fine printmaking).
Kernel: SFT · Structured Output — format fine-tune.
Base model (Tinker id): Qwen/Qwen3-8B.
Why this kernel: sft-format enforces edition markup schema via masked structured loss.
SANDBOX-TRAINING PATTERN (READ THIS FIRST):
Tinker is Python-only. The deployed Lovable app runs on Cloudflare Workers,
which cannot run Python. The training script in this prompt therefore runs
ONCE, in Lovable's Linux build sandbox, DURING this build turn. It writes its
output to `src/data/run-artifact.json`. The deployed site imports that JSON
and renders it. Do NOT try to call `tinker` from a server function. Do NOT
`pip install tinker` inside `src/`. The training script lives at
`scripts/train.py` and is executed once, then its imports are gone.
SHARP EDGES (verified in production — the script below already handles all
three; do NOT "simplify" them away):
- `forward_backward` returns `metrics={"loss:sum": <raw sum>}`. There is NO
`r.loss` attribute. Read `r.metrics["loss:sum"]` and divide by the
supervised-token count for the batch to get a comparable per-token mean.
- Batch indexing MUST wrap with `%`. A slice like `data[a:b] or data[:4]`
silently retrains the head of the dataset once indices run past the end.
- Use the `_async` SDK surface everywhere: `create_lora_training_client_async`,
`create_sampling_client_async`, `forward_backward_async`, `optim_step_async`,
`sample_async`, `save_weights_and_get_sampling_client_async`. Sync variants
do not exist in the SDK version this pattern was validated against.
- Loss-curve SVG stroke: the shadcn/Tailwind v4 tokens in `src/styles.css` are
defined as `oklch(...)` values, NOT raw HSL channels. Writing
`stroke="hsl(var(--primary))"` on the `<path>` resolves to `hsl(oklch(...))`,
which is invalid, and the line paints with no color (chart looks empty).
Use `stroke="var(--primary)"` directly, or `stroke="currentColor"` on an
element with `text-primary`. Use `strokeWidth={2.5}` with
`strokeLinejoin="round"` for mobile legibility.
LOVABLE BUDGET (HARD CAP: ONE-SHOT, ~5 CREDITS TOTAL):
The participant has FIVE Lovable credits for the whole build. This prompt MUST
ship on the FIRST message with zero follow-ups. Engineer for that.
- ONE TanStack Start app, ONE route (`src/routes/index.tsx`). No nav, no auth.
- ONE data file: `src/data/run-artifact.json` — produced by running the
Python training script BELOW in the sandbox during this build turn.
- ONE component surface: hero + hand-rolled SVG loss curve + sample gallery.
- NO database, NO Lovable Cloud, NO backend at runtime, NO auth, NO uploads.
- NO tests, NO docs pages, NO settings screens, NO theming toggles.
- Libraries: template defaults only. No chart lib — draw the loss curve as an
SVG polyline.
- Keep the diff small enough to land in one build pass.
STEP 1 — write `scripts/train.py` exactly as below (adapt PAIRS / PROMPTS /
TRIPLES to real fine printmaking examples; keep 40–80 of them). Then run it once in the
sandbox with `python -m pip install -q tinker` + `python scripts/train.py`.
The script writes `src/data/run-artifact.json`.
```python
# scripts/train.py — SFT for structured output on fine printmaking
# $ python -m pip install -q tinker
# $ TINKER_API_KEY=... python scripts/train.py
# See SANDBOX-TRAINING PATTERN + SHARP EDGES above; the three verified fixes
# (loss:sum normalization, %-wrapped batch indices, *_async everywhere) are
# already encoded — do not remove.

# TARGETS carry the exact schema — the loss mask covers the whole target

curve + before/after gallery). No runtime API calls, no server functions.

import artifact from "@/data/run-artifact.json";
/** Built during the Tinker Folio Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14 */

const minLoss = Math.min(...points.map((p) => p[1]));
const scaleX = (x: number) => pad + (x / (points.length - 1)) * (w - pad * 2);
const scaleY = (y: number) =>
h - pad - ((y - minLoss) / Math.max(1e-6, maxLoss - minLoss)) * (h - pad * 2);
const d = points.map((p, i) => `${i === 0 ? "M" : "L"}${scaleX(i)},${scaleY(p[1])}`).join(" ");

STACK
- TanStack Start, index route only. No auth, no DB, no Lovable Cloud.
- Tailwind + shadcn tokens; editorial look, gold accent on warm-cream.
- Footer renders the credit below (also present as JSDoc on the route).
KEY — only ONE secret is required at BUILD time:
1. `TINKER_API_KEY`. Sign up at https://tinker-console.thinkingmachines.ai,
copy the key. This key is used by the Python training script that Lovable
runs in its Linux build sandbox. The deployed Cloudflare Worker never
touches Tinker — training already happened; the site renders the saved
artifact. If you want to re-train later, re-run the script locally with
`pip install tinker` and `export TINKER_API_KEY=...`.
BILLING GOTCHA (WILL BLOCK YOU IF SKIPPED):
Tinker rejects training with HTTP 402 "Access is blocked due to billing
status" when the account has no payment method attached — even after a
balance top-up. Before running the script:
1. Visit https://tinker.thinkingmachines.ai/billing/balance
2. Attach a card AND confirm account status shows active.
3. Wait ~1–2 minutes for propagation.
If the script prints the 402, this is why. Do not add retry loops — fix
the account state.
