Saturday - 20 July

JOSA Workshop | Introduction to Open Source Generative AI

Event thumbnail

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the exciting world of locally run AI models. By leveraging open source large language models (LLMs) and image generation techniques, we’ll empower ourselves with more control, flexibility, and at zero cost to create both textual and imagery content.

 

Whether you’re a developer, researcher, or enthusiast, this workshop will equip you with practical knowledge to harness the power of these AI models right on your local machine.
