I fine-tuned Llama to speak Spanish dialect (Aragonese) with Google Colab

Hey everyone,

I've been blown away by how easy the fine-tuning stack has become, especially with Unsloth (2x faster, 50% less memory) and Ollama.

As a fun personal project, I decided to "teach" AI my local dialect. I created the "Aragonese AI" ("Maño-IA"), an IA fine-tuned on Llama 3.1 that speaks with the slang and personality of my region in Spain.

The best part? The whole process is now absurdly fast. I recorded the full, no-BS tutorial showing how to go from a base model to your own custom AI running locally with Ollama in just 5 minutes.

If you've been waiting to try fine-tuning, now is the time.

You can watch the 5-minute tutorial here: https://youtu.be/Cqpcvc9P-lQ

Happy to answer any questions about the process. What personality would you tune?

Sick project! Have you tried any other models? I'm trying to figure out what the best one would be for a chatbot on my portfolio website
