SUMMARY:Install Local Large (and Small) Language Models
DESCRIPTION:While much use of Large Language Models is limited to frontier 
 models in chatbot interfaces\, it is not the only way to use them! In this 
 workshop\, you will learn how to install large\, and small\, language 
 models locally on your own machine. We will explore use cases for why you 
 might do this\, the practical steps to installing LLMs with tools like 
 Ollama and others\, LLM repositories like HuggingFace\, and more. You are 
 no longer limited to what models the tech giants decide you can use! 
 \n\nOur policy is that we do not record live workshops in order to 
 encourage robust Q&A. However\, you can always find the full workshop 
 materials for all of our workshops at: 
 https://library.virginia.edu/data/training/past-workshops which allows you 
 to work through the material at your own pace. We also encourage you to 
 reach out to the instructor at any time for a one-on-one consult\, and for 
 specific or general questions about any of the topics we cover.\n\n\n\n\n
