AI Engineering Salon: Train, Fine-Tune, Deploy: The Engineer's AI Journey

​​Unlock the Power of AI: Build Your Own Foundational Model

In this hands-on workshop, engineers will go beyond using off-the-shelf AI tools and learn how to create foundational models from the ground up. Whether you're curious about tokenization, pretraining strategies, fine-tuning, or building a dataset that reflects your domain, this session will demystify the process and equip you with the skills to train, evaluate, and deploy your own custom model. You’ll leave with a practical understanding of the full model lifecycle—and why the future of engineering belongs to those who can build their own AI.
