SLM Build for Team
Teaching Kit · Hybrid RAG
What it offers
A live, hands-on teaching kit — it builds a real hybrid-retrieval RAG pipeline and fine-tunes a real model in front of a room, with every layer, from chunking and embedding to retrieval and training, genuinely inspectable rather than asserted.
Teaching RAG and fine-tuning usually means a slide deck or a black box — this makes every layer a literal, clickable, checkable step.
How it started · 4 Sep 2026
“PROJECT: "SLM Build for Team" — a live, hands-on tool that builds a RAG and fine-tunes a model from the ground up, step by step, teaching every layer. Doubles as a reusable kit the team points at their own docs. Read...”
How it evolved
- Built as a live, presenter-run teaching session
- Completed a real fine-tuning run, exported a working model
- First live comparison surfaced an honest, unscripted finding
- Runs on two local processes — no cloud model needed
