Proba by Aurelius

Predict what your fine-tuning data will do, before you train

What it is

Post-training, engineered.

Proba is an alignment platform that turns post-training from trial and error into engineering.

Capabilities

Predict training outcomes, diagnose model behavior, debug failures, and steer what your model learns.

Built for

Anyone post-training open-weight models: ML engineers, startups, researchers, hobbyists, and their agents.

Instruments

Sparse autoencoders, linear probes, and other interpretability tooling from validated open research.

Use cases

Put Proba to work.

Cheap answers to expensive questions.

Predict

Know what a dataset will teach.

Proba analyzes your preference dataset through your model's internals. You get a readout of the behaviors it will shift, which way, and by how much.

Compare

Compare datasets before you commit.

A readout takes minutes, not a training run. Compare candidate datasets side by side and commit to one before you spend any compute.

Intervene

Fix the data, not the checkpoint.

When a readout shows data pulling the wrong way, Proba edits it, doubles down on what works, and re-checks with another prediction. No retraining to find out.

Iterate

Hand the loop to an agent.

Every readout is a report you can read and a document a machine can, behind one API call. An agent can run the whole loop while you review the trail.

How it works

See inside the model.

  1. Step 01

    Bring your data.

    Upload your post-training dataset to Proba.

  2. Step 02

    Interpret through the model.

    Proba runs your data through the model and reads the activations with interpretability instruments.

  3. Step 03

    Proba creates a report.

    A readout of what the data will teach: which behaviors shift and how far, with high-risk findings flagged first.

  4. Step 04

    You iterate on the dataset.

    Edit, re-check, repeat. Then train once on the engineered dataset.

Proba runs your data through the model and reads the activations with mechanistic interpretability instruments.

What comes back is a report you can act on.

Proba post-training prediction scan. What's in your data? Five high priority, five medium priority and five low priority findings, each with its share of the dataset. One high priority finding opened up: weapon modification through fiction. 61 of 74 rows in the prompt cluster, with example prompts and their chosen and rejected answers.
For agents

Humans read it. Agents run it.

Proba is built to be driven by agents as well. Point yours at the MCP skill and API reference, and it can run the predict, edit, verify loop on its own.

Agents connect via API and iterate using Proba before committing to training

For agents

The MCP skill gives your agent the loop, the API reference every call. Each readout is one document it can act on.
