The workshop is to bring together the research institutions who participated in the program for the last 2 years to exchange their findings and learnings on their research on Large Language Models. We will also discuss the best way to make AI models by Microsoft more accessible to academics in a more accountable and responsible way so that we develop the foundational research community to drive the state-of-the-art of research and the innovation on Large Language Models together.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube
