How to get Fine-tuned (specialized) LLMs for your academic need with de.KCD

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing science, and the technology is advancing rapidly. We at de.KCD want to support users with cloud computing and cloud storage and also training to use these technologies. We have seen how LLMs can excel at tasks they are trained to do, such as coding; and we know that researchers and scientists have access to data that can be used to train a model on specialized tasks. We help people to not only setup and run Large language models on German academic infrastructure provided by de.KCD, but also to teach them how to train a model with novel datasets, to have an LLM fine-tuned on data that is not general knowledge. We hope that it will be useful to better understand specific or specialized fields of science and research. We provide support by (1) giving training on the ever evolving guidelines and best practices for the use of LLMs, (2) storing the model and datasets on the cloud for private or public usage, and (3) using cloud computing to create the fine-tuned models and making them available for use.
