Key Takeaways
By participating along with us in the workshop, you'll learn:
- Understand the core Hugging Face ecosystem (Hub, Transformers, Datasets, Diffusers, Spaces)
- Fine-tune a text model with parameter-efficient LoRA techniques on free Colab GPUs
- Generate images with Stable Diffusion via the Diffusers library
- Build and deploy a Gradio Space to share your model with the world
- Learn essential evaluation, bias-awareness, and security-scan practices
- Walk away with working code, reusable notebooks, and next-step learning paths
Is This Workshop for Me?
Python developers, data scientists, and ML enthusiasts who have never used Hugging Face before but want a practical, end-to-end introduction without the deep ops details.
Workshop Details
This full-day, code-first workshop takes Python-savvy learners from zero Hugging Face experience to publishing their own text-and-image AI demos. Through guided labs and live demos, students will touch every major HF library, understand best practices, and leave confident in continuing their AI journey.
Any Prerequisites?
- Grasp of Python fundamentals (functions, classes, virtual environments)
- Familiarity with running Jupyter/Colab notebooks
- Basic understanding of machine-learning concepts (datasets, training loops)
- A free Hugging Face account (set up before the workshop)
- Google account for Colab access
