Train Custom Models with Fireworks & Microsoft + NYC Happy Hour ⭐
- WHO IT IS FOR: Engineers and product managers looking to build specialized, production-grade AI models.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: A deep dive into post-training techniques to increase model reliability and performance on smaller model families.
- FORMAT: A hands-on technical workshop and lab followed by a networking happy hour.
Join Fireworks and Microsoft in New York City for an exclusive, invite-only workshop focused on mastering specialized intelligence. While frontier models show immense capability, achieving production-grade reliability remains a primary challenge for AI agents. This session bridges that gap by exploring how post-training can unlock high performance in smaller, faster model families.
Participants will engage in a practical lab to set baselines, train an open model, and measure results. You will walk away with a customized model ready for upload to Azure Foundry for production-ready serving. The evening concludes with insights from GitHub and a networking mixer with drinks and appetizers.
Please bring a laptop to participate in the hands-on training. While deep ML expertise isn't required, a basic familiarity with machine learning concepts is recommended to get the most out of the session.
