How AI Really Works - Intro to Open Source Large Language Models

Recording of a talk I gave on July 27th, 2024 at the Vancouver Public Library in Vancouver, Canada. It's designed to be an accessible introduction to AI, with the goal of demystifying Large Language Models (LLMs), using everything open source, so that people can start thinking of LLMs as just another technology, a tool in their toolkit, ready to be used in creative ways to various ends. It was delivered to an audience with diverse backgrounds, occupations & interests.
