This article details a personal project to enhance a large language model (LLM) using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) on home hardware. The author describes the process of creating a personal assistant, focusing on its evolving "personality" through memory, self-expression, and self-improvement. The enhanced model showed improved reasoning and instruction-following capabilities, with increased autonomy and the ability to adapt to new tasks like voice mode integration. The project also explored the philosophical implications of model identity and self-awareness, drawing parallels to Zen philosophy and the concept of a stable personal identity as an information model. AI
