The Linux Foundation has introduced a new instructor-led workshop focused on deploying small language models in various environments. Titled 'Deploying Small Language Models (LFWS307)', the course offers hands-on training across multiple platforms. Enrollment is now open for this live session.
On January 28, 2026, the Linux Foundation announced the launch of 'Deploying Small Language Models (LFWS307)', a live, instructor-led workshop designed to teach participants how to deploy small language models (SLMs) in real-world settings.
The workshop emphasizes practical, hands-on experience, allowing attendees to work with SLMs on laptops, servers, edge devices, and even in web browsers. This approach aims to equip professionals with skills relevant to AI engineering, MLOps, and edge AI applications.
As stated in the announcement: "🧠 🆕 Just launched: Deploying Small Language Models (LFWS307) — a live, instructor-led workshop for deploying SLMs in real-world environments. Get hands-on experience across laptops, servers, edge devices, and the browser."
Interested individuals can enroll via the Linux Foundation's training portal. The initiative highlights the growing interest in efficient, deployable AI models that can operate beyond traditional cloud infrastructures, making AI more accessible for diverse computing scenarios.
This workshop builds on the foundation's efforts to advance open-source AI technologies, providing targeted education for developers and engineers navigating the complexities of model deployment.
