Model Mondays office hours will be held on Azure AI Discord every Friday 1:30pm-2:00pm EST. You can also join the #model-mondays channel for discussions at any time!
Every Model Mondays episode consists of a 30-minute livestream with 2 core segments:
- Model Roundup (5 min) - each episode starts with a 5-min recap of the top 5 model-related stories that caught our attention last week!
- Model Spotlight (20 min) - then, we spend the next 20 minutes putting the spotlight on a specific model or model category to help you understand why it matters, when to use it, and how to get started.
We'll use the last 5 mins for Q&A before we wrap the livestream - but invite you to join us on #model-mondays in Discord to continue discussions. Plus, Office Hours on Fridays for show-and-tell demos & watercooler chats.
Join us for Model Mondays every Monday at 10:30pm PST / 1:30pm EST. It's a weekly show where we round up the latest AI model news and put one model in the spotlight for a deeper dive. Let's Build our model IQ!
