InstructLab workshop

During this hands-on exercise, you will learn what is InstructLab and how you can leverage it to easily extend Large Language Models with your data and run them on your infrastructure. The tool makes it easy to download, run and chat with models locally on your laptop.


InstructLab is a fully open-source project from Red Hat and IBM that introduces Large-scale Alignment for chatBots (LAB).
