📢 Hi all! The #InstructLab Community is evolving to better align with technical changes, with the project components being separated and relocated. Here is the full announcement: https://blog.instructlab.ai/2025/09/instructlab-community-evolution/

Thank you for all your participation and contributions in the past year! 🐶

Join us at AI Plumbers Conference on June 15 in #Berlin - an open source meetup for low-level AI builders to dive deep into "the plumbing" of modern AI

From Red Hat, Marta and Karsten will present how to go from a notebook sketch to a production-ready LLM app using #opensource tools like Podman AI Lab and #InstructLab

Details and registration: https://lu.ma/vqx423ct

Check out the #Docling Meetup during the week of #RHSummit in #Boston - a great chance for the community to connect with Docling experts and dive into the latest innovations!

Tuesday, May 20, 2025
