Learn the basics of PyTorch and use a model from the huggingface transformers package. Collect a small dataset and see if you can get a model to correctly identify the scenarios you give it. Iterate from there.

Let’s say I wanted to run a headless Logic Pro for programmatic music production. Would I use this? Or should I containerize the application itself? It’s okay if I have to run it on Apple hardware.

The green revolution was not only a result of the Haber-Bosch process, although that's an aspect I wasn't thinking about. Hybridization of crop plants increased the calories per hectare per year produced. Again, I don't know
