Teach a model one job.
Teach (fine-tune) a small model locally on your machine, with examples that stay there.
Teaching (fine-tuning) runs locally on your Mac with Mac app 0.1.4, or with the hbay-teach engine on your machine.
The hosted tools only list starting models and provide synthetic starter templates. They do not run teaching.
Describe one job → add your examples → it sits an exam you set → you keep a small model that runs on your machine, with papers saying how it was made.
Open the Mac app · Teach tab · Use the CLI
Teach on Mac: Apple silicon · macOS 14+. Engine memory minimums: 0.5B: 8 GB; 1.7B: 16 GB (estimate); 4B: 32 GB (estimate). Close other big apps when near the minimum, or choose a smaller base.
Your examples stay on your machine.

A measured payment-risk example
On a synthetic payment-risk sample, Qwen3-1.7B went from 68 mistakes to about 9 (7–11 over 4 runs) on 124 locked cases.
That's a made-up sample with a clear rule. Real data is messier, so your own exam is the score that counts.

After installing, create a folder from synthetic sample data, then check it on your machine.
