Running the Notebooks

These additional example notebooks use Qwen3:14B as the default model via Ollama. Minimum hardware: ~16 GB RAM with a dedicated GPU. You can swap in a smaller model (e.g. qwen3:4b), but smaller models may not follow tool-use instructions reliably.

Option A — Run Locally

Install Ollama and pull the model:

ollama pull qwen3:14b

Then launch Jupyter from the project root:

uv run --with jupyter jupyter lab

Option B — Lightning AI (Free)

No GPU? Lightning AI offers ~22 free GPU compute hours/month — enough for several sessions on an L4.

  1. Create a free account if you don't have one
  2. Open the book template
  3. Click Clone and ensure it's the latest version
  4. Launch the Studio with an L4 GPU
  5. Open any chapter notebook — Ollama and the model are pre-configured
