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.
