Fall 2025 U of A DataLab Series
AI Makerspace Meetups
The AI Makerspace Meetups provide an opportunity to get some hands-on, hacky-hour like experience with some of the most sought after generative AI/Gen-AI skills.
Specifically, this AI Makerspace Meetup will take the in-depth subjects taught in U of A DataLab workshops and add horizontal breadth to them. For example, participants will collaborate virtually with a DataLab AI researcher to discuss and code some of the main skills and tools required for developing and deploying Gen-AI applications like: how to fine-tune your own open-source LLM on various high-performance computing (HPC) architectures, combine your PyTorch training code with MLOps libraries, build a Gradio app, publish it on the Hugging Face Hub, etc.
