Conduct post-training research for LLMs using the Tinker API — replicate paper results, explore new training ideas, run and monitor experiments, and document findings. Use this skill whenever the user wants to do research, replicate experiments from a paper or repo, investigate training hypotheses, run experiment sweeps, explore post-training techniques (SFT, RL, DPO, distillation, etc.), set up training, write training code, choose a model, tune hyperparameters, manage checkpoints, export weights, or analyze training logs — even if they just say "try this idea" or "let's see what happens if...".

Low-risk findings worth noting
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
The required workflow uses WebSearch, WebFetch, and external datasets (such as HuggingFace datasets and arXiv/PDF papers) to conduct research, but does not monitor or consume outsider-authored free text streams without specific user selection.
