Flash AI shell author forgoes fine-tuning due to Ollama infrastructure limits

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author of the Flash AI shell decided against fine-tuning their custom Onyx models due to infrastructure limitations. Flash relies on Ollama's cloud-based models for users without powerful local hardware, but this setup prevents the deployment of custom weights or LoRA adapters. Instead of a traditional fine-tune, the author focused on improving the system prompt and other parameters within the Modelfile, achieving significant results without needing dedicated GPU resources.
