Intro to AI LLM Systems with Ollama and Python

NOTE: Our classes are for any one of any level who is interested in the subject. The first half will be seminar, and the second half will be hands on writing code. (You can leave after the seminar if you like). If you want to build the examples just bring a Windows/Mac/Linux laptop with preferably over 8 GB of RAM.

There's far more to "AI" than a ChatGPT prompt! This class will teach the basic components of creating your own AI systems. Don't worry. These will be simple examples designed for you to understand and the exercises should be able to run on almost any computer.

We'll start with using a local LLM framework called Ollama that will allow you to interact with LLM's directly on your computer.

We will then show how Python can be used to create a basic command line app that can harness the power of…
