Chaperon-Sophia-v2

An experimental research assistant for archaeology, history, biblical studies, and ancient texts.

Developed by Chaperon GmbH and Lucas Bischof, Sophia-v2 demonstrates a complete end-to-end AI workflow including multimodal data processing, document extraction, dataset generation, LoRA fine-tuning, GGUF deployment, and local AI integration.

Overview

Sophia-v2 is a custom fine-tuned variant of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct designed to explore historical, textual, archaeological, and religious source material through natural conversation.

The project serves both as a technical showcase of Chaperon GmbH's AI capabilities and as a practical proof-of-concept for domain-specific model adaptation.

Project Goals

This project demonstrates the ability to:

  • Process large collections of PDFs
  • Extract text from historical documents
  • Convert audio and video into training datasets
  • Process image-based source material
  • Generate structured instruction datasets
  • Fine-tune Large Language Models using LoRA
  • Merge and deploy custom models
  • Publish GGUF models for local inference

Training Sources

The training process included the preparation and processing of curated material related to:

  • CDLI Cuneiform Collections
  • ETCSL Translations
  • Ancient Mesopotamian Literature
  • Biblical Texts
  • Apocryphal Literature
  • Gnostic Literature
  • Gospel of Mary
  • Pistis Sophia
  • Comparative Religion
  • Historical Source Material
  • Archaeological Research

The focus of Sophia-v2 is source-oriented exploration and discussion rather than authoritative interpretation.

Intended Audience

Sophia-v2 may be useful for:

  • Archaeology enthusiasts
  • History researchers
  • Biblical scholars
  • Comparative religion communities
  • Independent researchers
  • Educational projects
  • Digital humanities initiatives
