What It Does#
A fine-tuned LLM specialized in NIST cybersecurity guidance. Ask it about SP 800-53 controls, CSF 2.0 functions, Zero Trust architecture, FIPS cryptographic requirements, or any of the 596 NIST publications it was trained on.
Available on Ollama.
Quick Start#
ollama run etgohome/hackidle-nist-coder:v1.1 "What is Zero Trust Architecture?"That’s it. Pulls the model and starts answering.
