 ## Gratitude
 
 None of this would have been possible without me being entrusted with doing the specific LLM/VLM trainings I have learned this know-how from. This is a privilege that only a few enjoy due to the prohibitively expensive cost of renting huge ML compute clusters. So hopefully the rest of the ML community will vicariously learn from these notes.
