EuroCC@Greece, in collaboration with EuroCC Cyprus, announced the 15th Course of HPC Training Series, titled “A Practical Guide to LLM Deployment and RAG Systems”, which took place on-site and online (hybrid), on September 10th, 2025.
The program combined lectures and hands-on sessions, focusing on practical workflows for local deployment, inference, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Participants learned how to use the Hugging Face ecosystem for transformers and embeddings, experiment with inference and semantic similarity techniques, and build retrieval-enabled applications. The hands-on part included deploying models on Cyclone, the National HPC infrastructure, using tools such as vLLM and Haystack to set up model-serving pipelines and integrate retrieval with generation.
