Ian Coe from Tonic.ai: synthetic data, AI training, and enterprise fine-tuning

In this episode, Ian Coe, Co-founder and CEO of Tonic.ai, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild. Ian explains how Tonic started by helping developers create safe, realistic data for testing and development, and how that has expanded into AI model training, de-identification, and synthetic datasets for reinforcement learning. We discuss structured vs. unstructured data, healthcare and financial services use cases, Tonic Fabricate, Tonic Textual, fine-tuning, RL environments, and why enterprises are becoming more interested in training models on their own data.
