# Introduction

> Get started with Spectra, Axionic's web platform for training models, shaping runtime behavior with steering vectors, and monitoring usage.

## What is Spectra?

Spectra is Axionic's web workspace for training, adapting, and operating models. You can distill teacher behavior into smaller students, fine-tune text, speech recognition, and OCR models, shape runtime behavior without redeploying, and monitor usage from the same product surface.

## Dashboard

The Dashboard is the signed-in workspace landing page. It summarizes subscription status, trained model count, total API calls, and recent request activity for the account.

Use the Dashboard quick actions to start training, open Optimization, or launch the guided tour. Recent activity opens the full [Observability](/products/spectra/observe) view, and the contact-sales panel is for dedicated architecture, SLA planning, or higher-throughput requests.

## Core workflow

**Train a model** -- Choose a distillation or fine-tuning path, then train tool-calling, text generation, speech recognition, or OCR models from the matching dataset type.

**Optimize runtime behavior** -- Use the Optimization workspace to select a model, attach steering vectors, adjust decoding controls, run test generations, and produce API-ready request snippets.

**Add behavior safeguards** -- Create SAE-based behaviors that monitor for specific drift patterns and optionally pair them with corrective vectors.

**Operate from one workspace** -- Track model inventory, credits, billing, API keys, and runtime activity without leaving Spectra.

**Integrate anywhere** -- Ready text and tool models can be called through the OpenAI-compatible API, the Mechanex SDK, or your own client code.
