Build Your Expert Agent: SLM Fine-Tuning with Distil Labs

​Everyone’s talking about foundation models. But what if you could train and deploy your own lightweight, fast, and fully in your control?

​Join us for a hands-on workshop where we explore how Small Language Models (SLMs) can power real-world applications without the overhead of massive infrastructure or data pipelines.

Led by Selim Nowicki and Jacek Golebiowski, founders of Distil Labs, this session will walk you through training, fine-tuning, and deploying your own SLM — using a real use case, in real time. You’ll also get a first look at their new frontend and workflows built specifically for developers and product teams.

​Participants will receive free access to the Distil Labs platform, so you can experiment with custom models during the session.
