02 / Models & Machine Learning

Models & Machine Learning training.

How language models work, when to adapt them, and how to run them. The aim is understanding you can use in a design conversation, not a research degree.

Transformers from First Principles

A two-day course for technically strong practitioners: build a usable understanding of transformer models by implementing simplified components, without unnecessary mathematical formalism.

Developers, ML engineers and strong practitioners

Fine-Tuning Language Models

A two-day course for ML engineers and experienced AI developers: when to adapt a model, how to do it with parameter-efficient methods, and how to evaluate and deploy the result.

ML engineers and experienced AI developers

2–3 days · Advanced · Models & Machine Learning

Training Your Own Language Model

A two-to-three-day course for advanced developers and ML engineers: build and train a small language model in order to understand the process, not to compete with frontier systems.

Advanced developers and ML engineers

1 day · Intermediate · Models & Machine Learning

Running LLMs Locally

A one-day practical course on local and private inference: model formats, hardware, quantisation, engines, benchmarking and the privacy and cost reasons to run models yourself.
