Choosing a model is not only about the quality of the answers. What also matters is the jurisdiction the data answers to, the licence, and whether the model can run inside the organisation. **Who it is for.** Those who decide on tools and infrastructure in a company or a professional practice. #### Duration 4 hours, in two two-hour sessions. #### Format Online or on site, at least 5 people. #### Tools Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus; LM Studio or Ollama, installed before the second session. A computer with at least 16 GB of memory is recommended. #### Fee From €100 per person, VAT excluded; on site plus €800. Paid in advance. [All fees](https://ggtechnologies.sm/en/training/#fees). *Further reading* ### Local AI, already in use. A model running inside the organisation is the principle behind the [on-premise AI](https://ggtechnologies.sm/en/services/on-premise-ai/) page and [Podz.AI](https://ggtechnologies.sm/en/podz-ai/), our personal AI workstation, available as a thirty-day trial. *The programme* ## Two sessions, each with a result ready for use. ### First session · The model landscape The same task given to American services (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), Chinese ones (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi) and European ones (Mistral). - Data jurisdiction and licence terms - Cloud services and open-weight models you can download and install - **Result:** A comparison table and the criteria for updating it ### Second session · Local AI Running a model on your own computer with LM Studio or Ollama, both free. Tests with Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Mistral and gpt-oss. - Performance, limits and memory requirements - Hybrid set-up with masking of personal data - **Result:** A reasoned choice between cloud, local and hybrid ### At the end The materials produced in the two sessions are exported to the participant's own files, which open in any program and can be used independently. - A comparison table and the criteria for updating it - A reasoned choice between cloud, local and hybrid - The course materials *How it works* ## From enrolment to the second session, in four steps. 01 ### Enrolment Enrolment is completed by paying the fee in advance. Instructions for activating access to the tools follow. 02 ### First session Two hours of explanation and guided exercises. The session ends with the first result, ready for use. 03 ### Application Between the two sessions, a short application of what was learned to day-to-day work, from thirty to sixty minutes. 04 ### Second session It opens by reviewing that application and continues with the second module. At the end, the materials produced are exported to the participant's own files. *FAQ* ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I attend on a company computer? Yes, if installing LM Studio or Ollama is allowed. It is advisable to check this beforehand with the IT manager. ### Are the models the same in every edition? No. The landscape changes quickly, and the list is updated before each edition. The selection criteria stay the same. ### How do I enrol? By writing to info@ggtechnologies.sm with the format and the number of participants. Enrolment is completed by paying in advance; courses start with at least 5 people. ## Where to go next ### [Development with Claude Code](https://ggtechnologies.sm/en/training/software-development-claude-code/) The coding agent on your code, with permissions and review set out. ### [Training](https://ggtechnologies.sm/en/training/) Practical four-hour courses on artificial intelligence, for companies and professionals. ### [Artificial Intelligence](https://ggtechnologies.sm/en/services/artificial-intelligence/) Agents that read documents and query your systems, with the measure agreed first. ## Would you like to enrol on this course?
