Building with Instruction-Tuned LLMs: A Step-by-Step Guide

Following emerging LLM best practices in the industry, you’ll learn how to take an instruction-tuned LLM off the shelf to create powerful AI applications using custom input-output fine-tuning approaches.

You’ll see just how easy instruction-tuned LLMs are to leverage relative to base model LLMs. This event will also include an introduction to instruction tuning as well as the commercially available open-source models that are emerging on the Generative AI scene.

Who should attend the event?

• Learners who want to leverage instruction-tuned LLMs in their AI Applications.
• Learners who want to understand fine-tuning of LLMs and emerging best practices.
• Learners who are interested in reviewing the best instruct-tuned, open-source LLMs.

Why should you attend the event?

• To see an LLM AI application be fine-tuned and deployed to Hugging Face step-by-step.
• To learn how easy it is to incorporate instruction-tuned LLMs into your applications.

This event is intended for those with knowledge of the basic principles of LLMs, including prompt engineering, and who are interested in using advanced supervised fine-tuning approaches to unlock capabilities that large pre-trained foundation models already have but are hard for users to access via prompt engineering alone.
