Training a Personal LLM on Two Decades of Text
Merzmensch · x · 2026-07-11
The author details an experiment training an LLM on 20 years of personal writing—including poetry, prose, plays, criticism, and books—and notes an earlier trial using only MERZAZINE texts.
Viewed as a fascinating dataset exercise, the model trained on personal corpora goes beyond merely parroting the source material, successfully generating entirely new modes of expression and fresh perspectives.
