Ello Ello.

Can you recommend a program with which I can generate commit messages locally? I DO NOT want an LLM local or cloud API. What I want is a tiny or small language model. If I could easily swap or customize the model for each project, it would be better, too. So I could have smaller models for specific projects. I can do the training meself.

Thanks in advance!

the classic language models before LLMs existed

Which models are you referring to here? Earlier versions of GPT (like GPT-2)?

There are small LLMs like Phi 4 Mini that you could look at. Those were part of the "small language model" craze (SLMs).

If you want meaningful commit messages though, nothing beats handwritten messages. Commit frequently and the messages should be short and easy to come up with.
