I played with a local install of #InstructLab #LLM today and tested it with some questions about #Ansible and #wordle. I really wanted to be surprised, but ... wasn't 😢
This is part of my AI research, I'll post a bigger summary about the other parts soon.
Дообучение моделей на своих данных — просто и эффективно
В мире ИИ сложился миф, что для эффективной работы с языковыми моделями нужны огромные вычислительные мощности и команда дорогих специалистов. Но правда в том, что сегодня даже небольшая компания или отдельный разработчик могут создавать умные решения, адаптированные под свои нужды.
Check out the sessions in the AI track on #RHSummit Community Day!
We have topics ranging from #Docling to #TrustyAI, inferencing to features stores, topped with your favourite #InstructLab tools and #Granite models. Register and add the sessions to your schedule!
We'll be at @fossnorth in #Gothenburg next week, April 14-15! Learn about #InstructLab in the hands-on workshop on day 1 with @cybette
