Registration Period November 13 – December 13, 2025

The SCIPE Workshop on Large Language Models brings together researchers, practitioners, and students interested in understanding and working with state-of-the-art language models. This intensive three-day program covers everything from foundational concepts to advanced research topics.

Whether you're looking to apply LLMs in your work or explore cutting-edge research directions, this workshop provides hands-on experience with modern tools, access to high-performance computing resources, and guidance from experts in the field.

For Practitioners:
Learn to deploy and use LLMs effectively with practical tools like transformers, vLLM, and LangChain. Gain hands-on experience with inference optimization, RAG systems, and API integration.

For Researchers:
Explore advanced topics including training methodologies, fine-tuning techniques, test-time scaling, compression strategies, and the latest developments in agentic AI systems.

The room for this event is Langsam 462.

This hands-on workshop provides a practical introduction to command-line Linux and high-performance computing (HPC), tailored for students and researchers new to computational environments. Participants will learn the fundamentals of using the Linux command line for navigating directories, manipulating files, and executing basic shell commands. This session also covers essential skills for working on HPC systems, including secure file transfer with tools like scp and rsync, connecting to remote clusters via SSH, and basic file manipulation using vi. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be equipped to effectively interact with ARCC2, UC’s research computing cluster, and have the foundation necessary to begin implementing complex research workflows.
