A Hugging Face user describes building six custom models in a few days using ML Intern, an agent that plans, budgets, trains, evaluates, and publishes models on Hugging Face hardware. Examples include a citrus disease VLM fine-tuned from Qwen3.5-2B that improved accuracy from 14.9% to 52.8% for about USD 1.90, a Huggy character LoRA for FLUX.2, and a camera-angle LoRA for Qwen-Image 2.1 costing about USD 16 in compute. The post shares prompting techniques such as requesting a baseline before training and setting a strict spending limit.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/building-with-ml-intern:

> Over the course of the next few days, I made five more models the same way. Each one started as a message in HuggingChat with ML-intern switched on, and each one ended as a public model on the Hub with its evaluation in the model card.
