Frequently Asked Questions

A working understanding of basic linear algebra and statistics (mean, variance, vectors), along with foundational Python programming (NumPy/Pandas). Candidates with no prior Python experience should begin with our Launchpad foundation track.

While we cover core neural network architectures and loss functions, production engineering emphasizes Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (LoRA & QLoRA) on modern open-weights foundation models (Llama-3, Mistral) to deliver commercial domain adaptations.

Yes. Our labs leverage 4-bit and 8-bit quantization (QLoRA) enabling fine-tuning on cost-effective GPUs (NVIDIA RTX series or Google Colab T4/A100 instances), with local inference served through Ollama.

You will work directly with patterns from our live intern repositories: Gayatri-Tutor-V3 (synthetic data generation & local LLaMA fine-tuning) and Alkame Nifty-50 (ensemble ML predictors, backtesting & feature engineering).
