The advent of large language models (LLMs) has significantly transformed the industry. Preeminent examples such as ChatGPT have demonstrated diverse applicabilities, yet there remains a demand for customized LLM solutions.

In our interactive workshop, you will learn to craft your own custom LLM.

Leveraging an open-source foundational model as the bedrock, we'll guide you to fine-tune it with your own unique data set. This personalized approach ensures your LLM aligns effectively with your specific requirements and objectives.

Additional slots might become available later on. Please use the waiting list!
