Follow Along RAG demo with Runpod and Open-WebUI

About This Event
Join us for an interactive, live follow-along demo where we’ll walk through building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) queries against real HR documentation using cutting-edge open-source tools. You’ll see end-to-end how to spin up compute in RunPod, drive local LLMs with Ollama, manage your RAG interface in Open-webUI, and use the newest popular open weight model Gemma3.

What You’ll Learn

• RunPod Basics: Provision GPU instances on demand and optimize them for cost and performance.
• Ollama in Action: Load and run language models locally.
• Open-webUI: Access models in a clean interface and manage reference documents
• Gemma: Use the latest popular open weights model by Google.
• Putting It All Together: End-to-end demo—ingest, embed, retrieve, and generate—in a single live session.

Who Should Attend
This session is perfect for developers, data scientists, technical leaders, and people just starting to learn AI who want hands-on experience with RAG pipelines. This tutorial is also great for people who want to experience AI without vendor lock in.

What to Bring

• Your laptop (Mac, Windows, or Linux)
• Curiosity and questions!
