AI 3-in-1: Agents, RAG, and Local Models - Brent Laster | PPT
Presented at All Things Open RTP Meetup
Talk Title: AI 3-in-1: Agents, RAG, and Local Models
Learning and understanding AI concepts is satisfying and rewarding, but the fun part is learning how to work with AI yourself. In this presentation, we'll dive into the world of AI with author, trainer, and technologist Brent Laster. Join us as we explore the concepts of AI agents, RAG, and local models.
We’ll explain why and how to run AI models locally, the basic ideas of agents and RAG, and show how to assemble a simple AI agent in Python that leverages RAG and uses a local model through Ollama.
No prior experience is needed to join this session, although a basic understanding of LLMs is assumed. Get ready for a fast-paced, engaging session filled with presentations, code explanations, and live demos. By the end of the session, you’ll have the knowledge to replicate the finished product on your own!
