Train your own LLM and deploy it as a Teaching Assistant and link it with Canvas. Set it up as a trustworthy tutor that provides instruction, yet does not give away answers to homework problems. Have it assist you with literature review.

This hands-on beginners’ workshop will walk the participants through the creation process of a custom LLM for classroom purposes with Illinois.chat created by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).

This is a hybrid workshop. It will be held in Armory 172 - Innovation Studio. The zoom link will be emailed before the event. Please bring your laptop to the workshop.
