1xe (Onexe)

1xe (Onexe) is a Spanish-language assistant focused on Canary Islands speech and cultural context.

This project explores how to adapt a base model to produce more natural, culturally grounded responses in Canary Islands Spanish, combining conversational post-training with optional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over curated linguistic and cultural sources.

What is Onexe

Onexe is a research prototype designed to:

• generate responses in Spanish with a Canary Islands style
• incorporate Canary vocabulary, expressions, and cultural references
• use curated knowledge sources to improve factual and cultural answers

Project approach

The system is built around two main components:

• Conversational post-training to teach the model to respond in a more natural Canary Islands Spanish style
• Optional RAG to retrieve context from curated cultural and lexical sources before generating an answer

Status

Onexe is currently a research prototype.
