ColIA

An open-source AI lab and community from Colombia.

We learn by building, and show that Latin America creates too.

What we make

  • ColIA-Local

    Coming soon

    An app that runs AI models on your computer. No account, no cloud, no terminal.

  • Sibundoy-Translate-1.7B

    Coming soon

    A small model that translates English into Spanish.

    It's named after Sibundoy, a town in the Sibundoy Valley, Putumayo, where ColIA's founder was born. Our models take the names of places in Colombia.

How we work

  1. Open. Code, models and recipes are published under open licenses.
  2. Measured. Every claim comes with numbers, measured on modest hardware.
  3. Bilingual. Everything ships in English and Spanish. The Spanish is native, not a translation.
  4. Local. What we make runs on your computer, without depending on a cloud.
  5. Community. Anyone who wants to learn, explore or contribute is welcome, whatever they know.

Join us

You don't need to be an expert. ColIA started as one person learning in the open. If you want to learn, find people to build with, or make small things that help, there's room for you.
