Speaker: Eddie Mattia (Outerbounds)
Abstract: Imagine a world where fine-tuning is no hassle - just another seamless step in your workflow, (almost) no matter the model size. Accessing GPUs for fine-tuning shouldn't be a hassle either. And you should be able to do all of this securely and privately in your cloud account. Open-source Metaflow has added a host of new features. It now helps you fine-tune LLMs in your own environment, using popular tools and tapping into compute resources across clouds. In this talk, we will walk you through a practical example of how you can do this at home today.Speakers/Topics:
