Introduction

AI and Windows Granite Workshop

Welcome to our workshop! In this workshop we'll be using the open-sourced IBM Granite AI foundation models for a number of use cases that demonstrates the value of generative AI.

The goals of this workshop are:

  • Installing Open Source AI tools on your own Windows 11 laptop (Mac instructions to follow soon) to run AI locally.
  • Running LLM models via command line
  • Running LLM models with a UI interface
  • Try to improve results with Retrieval-Augmented Generation
  • Running with a multimodal LLM
