<aside> 📌 About this workshop

• This is a hands-on workshop: you can follow along if you already have datasets ready or, for now, you can give your model just a couple files as a dataset and see what happens. My goal is to give you an overview of the tools available to you so that you can experiment on your own.
• We will learn how to customize open-source distilled models. </aside>
