3. WEBINAR INVITATION: PRODUCTIVE USES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN AFRICA

   Driving Electrification through Economic Growth

   Date: 27 of June

   Time: 13:00 GMT / 15:00 CEST / 16:00 EAT]

   Rural electrification efforts are often constrained by limited electricity usage, which challenges the economic viability of microgrid projects. Low electricity consumption also curtails economic productivity and living standards, as essential tasks in farming and other sectors continue to be performed manually. This vicious cycle keeps communities impoverished and electrification rates low.

   Fortunately, harnessing productive uses of energy offers a transformative solution. By facilitating access to affordable finance, local business owners can acquire electric appliances that enhance their operational efficiency. This progression leads to increased incomes, job creation, better living standards, and elevated levels of electricity consumption. As local businesses thrive, renewable microgrid operators can achieve profitability, ensure a reliable supply of clean power, and expand their reach to households and broader sectors of the economy.

   

   Join this upcoming webinar to explore the transformative opportunities and challenges of leveraging productive uses of renewable energy in rural communities.

6. A COURSE TO ENROLL FOR FREE by NexusFlow and DeepLearning.AI

   Introducing Function-Calling and Data Extraction with LLMs, a short course made in collaboration with Nexusflow and taught by its co-founder and CEO, Jiantao Jiao, and founding engineer, Venkat Srinivasan.

    

   This course focuses on two key skills for building LLM applications: function-calling and structured data extraction.

   Function-calling allows LLMs to execute external functions based on natural language instructions, while structured data extraction enables LLMs to retrieve useful information from unstructured text.

    

   Function-calling allows you to extend LLMs with custom capabilities by enabling them to form calls to external functions based on natural language instructions. Structured data extraction enables LLMs to pull usable information from unstructured text. 

    

   You'll work with NexusRavenV2-13B, an open-source model fine-tuned for function-calling and data extraction.

   The model, available on Hugging Face, has outperformed GPT-4 in some function-calling tasks and has 13 billion parameters so it can be hosted locally. 

   

   Join in, and: 

   Learn how you can use function-calling in detail: form prompts with function definitions, and use an LLM response to call those functions. 

   Use an LLM with multiple function calls, including parallel and nested function calls. This allows you to create complex agent workflows where LLM plans and executes a series of function calls to achieve a goal.

   Use OpenAPI specifications to build function calls that can access web services. 

   Use function-calling to extract structured data from a natural language input.  

   Build an application that takes customer service transcripts, builds SQL calls, and stores results in a database with commands generated by the LLM. 

   The skills you'll learn in this course will allow you to build advanced AI agents and assistants that can process and analyze customer feedback, automate data entry and content management workflows, enhance search and recommendation systems with structured data, and many other real-world applications.

9. HOW MONETIZE YOUR EXPERTISE by Danny Iny

   When it comes to monetizing expertise, this is the first speedbump most people hit: 

   They think their expertise isn’t enough.

   That what they know isn’t valuable. 

   We call it “impostor syndrome,” because you feel like an impostor in your field. Like you’re just faking it and some day soon everyone will figure you out. 

   If you’ve ever felt that – even just a twinge of it – then I can tell you that you probably know much more than you think. People tend to undervalue things that come easily to them.

   And if you’d like to see just how much you can do with your expertise – including how to monetize it in a sustainable and gratifying way, then there’s something coming up that you should know about…

   It’s a brand-new event called Monetize Live. At Monetize Live you’ll discover how to monetize your expertise, including the tried-and-true methods I used to grow Mirasee to a multi-8-figure company. And I’ll show you how you can use those same methods in your business, too – no matter what stage of business you’re in right now.
