Get your ticketIntroduction to Generative AI and LLMs in PHP
Workshop produced by Apropos
Language: English
This 4-hour workshop will introduce the Large Language Models (LLMs) that have become very popular in this period thanks to the Generative AI momentum.
We will provide the basics of LLMs and how to use it using PHP. In particular, we'll use LLPhant, a comprehensive PHP Generative AI Framework in combination with GPT4 of OpenAI. We'll also test some open source LLMs such as Llama 2 using the Ollama project.
The workshop will have a very practical focus: participants will be able to experiment with the examples during the workshop. All you need is a laptop with a PHP 8 runtime.
