Workshop | LLM Bootcamp: Install, Run, and Use your own "ChatGPT-like" Assistant
In this hands-on workshop, you'll create your own free, private ChatGPT-like assistant running on your laptop. You'll understand what Large Language Models are, how they work in practice (tokens, context windows, model sizes, and more) and how to choose the best model for your needs. From there, you will go straight into practice: installing Ollama and running your first prompts from scratch, all in a single session.
