About Event

LauzHack & the EPFL AI Team are hosting a beginner-friendly, mini hackathon with two tracks:

Using GenAI APIs (together.ai, HuggingFace, OpenAI, etc) to build multimodal applications.
LLM training: distributed training, small language models (SLMs), quantization, and exploring other tricks.

Hugging Face's LLM course has useful tips for both tracks (applications and training).
