🌍 “Hola!” from the MiniCPM community!

Meet MiniCPM5-2B-catalan-chat-v2, a Catalan conversational model built by our ambassador luispoveda93 through two-stage LoRA fine-tuning of OpenBMB’s MiniCPM5-2B.

📚 Stage 1 — Single-turn instruction tuning
165,100 examples from Projecte AINA’s InstruCAT dataset, covering Q&A, summarization, paraphrasing, and more.

💬 Stage 2 — Multi-turn conversation
Continued fine-tuning on a ~23.4K chat-focused subset of BSC-LT/ALIA-2606-SFT, focusing on dialogue flow and instruction following across turns.

💻 Ready to explore locally
Merged BF16 weights and LoRA adapters are available, alongside community-contributed GGUF versions for local use with llama.cpp and Ollama.

🛠️ Building for your language? This community project offers a concrete example of adapting MiniCPM with language-specific instructions and dialogue data.
