Learn to streamline Large Language Model development workflows from local experimentation to production deployment in this conference talk. Discover how to set up a home lab environment using Podman AI Lab for developing and testing LLMs locally on your workstation with InstructLab. Master the process of refining models in your development environment before transitioning them seamlessly to OpenShift AI using either local OpenShift clusters or cloud sandbox instances. Explore practical techniques for experimenting with LLMs in a local setting while maintaining a clear path to scale your models into production-ready environments. Gain insights into creating an efficient development pipeline that bridges the gap between local model development and enterprise-grade deployment on OpenShift AI platform.
