Course details
Stop sharing your data. Build and run powerful AI models on your own hardware using OpenAI's gpt-oss, Ollama, and LM Studio.
Gain complete control over your processing and security with open-weights models.
You will learn to set up gpt-oss locally, integrate it with VS Code for AI-accelerated coding, and implement a foundational Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system for custom, local knowledge. Build truly private AI solutions.
Learning objectives
Set up and use gpt-oss locally.
Link gpt-oss to VS Code for AI-powered coding.
Implement a simple RAG system with gpt-oss.
