I've recently been experimenting with training LLMs on the personal corpus of a dear family friend who passed recently, with the intent to eventually embed the device in his tombstone up north so that people can come and commune with him.

He was a well-known tarot reader, mystic and Haskeller in the northern Finnish community; without his help it's very likely I would have been deported from the country before I could get my passport sorted out. We came up with this plan together before he passed mostly out of a really weird shared sense of humor.

Can you share the size of the datasets, and some parameter used for training?

I'm trying to understand what is the minimum size of a corpus and the architecture size too.

Yeah, I imagine it won't be long before we'll have virtual seances online for people who have passed.

Black mirror really popularized this idea too.

Brilliant. Cannot wait to see the v1.0 announcement here on HN
