Could you build this?
Partial Setting up a standard LLM chat UI or fine-tuning script is easy, but creating a truly localized Singaporean LLM requires specialized Singapore-specific corpora (Singlish, local law, cultural nuances) and compute for domain adaptation.
What it would actually take: A real version requires gathering and curating a massive domain-specific corpus of Singapore English, Singlish, and local institutional data, then executing SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning) and RLHF/DPO on an open-weights foundation model (e.g., Llama 3 or Qwen) using PyTorch, Hugging Face, and multi-GPU infrastructure.

Concerns raised: Unclear if Singapore government actually requested this or if it's just a personal project
