Part 1/7:
Accessing Free Machine Learning Models Locally
In this tutorial, we will explore how to access and utilize some of the best open-source machine learning models available on the internet, specifically from Hugging Face. Using just a few lines of code, we will set up a local environment with Python, integrating the Transformers library from Hugging Face and Lang Chain, which enables the creation of advanced applications with the models.
Understanding the Tools
Before diving into the practical steps, it’s essential to understand the two primary tools we will be using:
- Transformers: A free, open-source package that simplifies the use of various models from Hugging Face. It allows users to download models, utilize them, and even fine-tune them based on specific needs.
