Step 2 of 3: Create a Workflow

Part of the training workflow quickstart. Next: Start a training run.

Configure a reusable training workflow using a visual node-based interface. Workflows define your model, dataset split, and training parameters.

This is a quickstart overview. For comprehensive configuration:


Create your workflow

From your training project overview, click Create Workflow

Training project with Create Workflow button

The workflow canvas opens with a node-based interface. You'll configure three components from top to bottom: System Prompt, Dataset, and Model.

Workflow canvas interface

1. Configure system prompt

Click the System Prompt node at the top. This defines instructions for your VLM.

System Prompt configuration
📘

For quickstart

Keep the DEFAULT prompt. You can customize this for specific tasks in future trainings.


2. Configure your dataset

Click the Dataset node to select your data source and split strategy.

Dataset configuration panel
  1. Dataset Source — Select the dataset you created earlier

  2. Keep the default split ratio and shuffle settings for your first training

Quickstart recommendation

Select any available model and keep the default settings. You can experiment with different models and parameters in subsequent trainings.

After selecting a model, click the model node to view its configuration.

Model configuration panel

Keep all default parameters for your first training run.

Click Run Training to proceed.

Workflow configured!

Your workflow is ready. Next, start your first training run.


Common questions

Can I reuse this workflow?

Yes! Workflows are reusable. You can run the same workflow multiple times or use it with different datasets.

What if I want to change settings later?

You can edit the workflow nodes anytime before running, or create a new workflow with different settings.

Which model should I choose?

Any available model works for quickstart. Keep default settings for your first training, then experiment with different models in subsequent runs.
