CMMC Expert 12B

A compliance-specialized large language model fine-tuned by Nathan Maine for U.S. defense and regulated-industry cybersecurity compliance: CMMC 2.0, NIST SP 800-171 / 172 / 53, HIPAA, and DFARS.

Fine-tuned with QLoRA on an NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10) over a curated, provenance-tracked compliance instruction dataset, and shipped as a quantized GGUF for fully local, air-gapped inference via Ollama or llama.cpp, with no cloud dependency.
