This workshop is open to all. Graduate students register with GradProSkills

In this session, we will use an open-source software that allows you to download and run large language models locally on standard computers. The software has a graphical interface to interact with the models without any coding, making this accessible to everyone in our community.

We will learn to privately engage with open-source foundational models, such as Llama and Phi-3, and use them to interact with our own documents without sending any information to a cloud service. As we do the hands-on experience, we will learn core Artificial Intelligence concepts that will help you navigate the sea of information out there.

This session is introductory and requires no coding skills or previous knowledge.
