Some notes on technical requirements:

  1. We’ll use Google Colab for computation, which provides free GPU access for certain tutorials. You’ll need a Google account to use this.
  2. Alternatively, you can run everything locally if you prefer and are comfortable with local installations.
  3. Together.ai will be used along with their API for accessing hosted LLMs. By creating an account on their platform, you’ll receive 25$ worth of resources. If you follow the tutorials diligently, you should have more than 24.5$ by the end of the workshop.
  4. A Huggingface account is required for two main reasons: a) to run Argilla’s user interface and b) to access models and host your data and models if needed.
