What it builds Train an AI model
Train your own AI model on your PC
Teach an open model with your own examples, or train a small one from scratch. QuickType cleans and splits your data first, runs a short smoke training to check everything works, then the real run, and measures how well it does.
Things people ask for
- "Fine-tune a small model to answer like our support team"
- "Train a model that sorts photos of my trading cards"
- "Teach a model to write product descriptions in our style"
Type something like this into QuickType. It asks a few questions, then plans it.
The plan it starts from
Every train an AI model project starts with these phases. QuickType fills each one with small steps for your idea, and a phase only counts as done when its line is true.
- Data
Done when: Your examples are cleaned, split and checked.
- Smoke training
Done when: A tiny training run works end to end on this PC.
- Real training
Done when: The full training script with settings that fit your graphics card.
- Evaluation
Done when: Before/after scores on test questions.
- Use it
Done when: The trained model runs in Ollama on this PC.
- Ongoing improvement
Done when: Never finished: new features, fixes and improvements.
What it asks you
Only what it can't guess. Pick an answer or type your own.
- What should the model learn?
- Talk in a certain styleAnswer questions about my topicSort or label textA skill (like writing code a certain way)
- What should it start from?
- From scratch (a brand-new model: no existing AI)A tiny open model (1-3B)A small open model (7-8B)
- Should it start raw or already know how to chat?
- Raw (no built-in rules or chat training)Already chats and follows instructions
- Where do the examples come from?
- I have themCollect them from my filesGenerate them with a bigger AINot sure
- How much graphics card memory does this PC have?
- 8 GB or less12-16 GB24 GB+No NVIDIA card
What it adds that people forget
You tick the ones you want when you start, and they go into the plan in the right phase.
- Keeping some examples aside for testing
- Keeping private data out of git
- Scores before training to compare with
- A short note on what the model is for and its limits
What it sets up on your PC
QuickType checks what you already have and asks before installing anything.
- GitSaves every step so anything can be undone
- Python 3Runs the project
- pytestRuns the project's tests
- NVIDIA driverTraining needs an NVIDIA graphics card
- OllamaRuns the AI model on this PC for free
