title: "Open Source Cookbook"
---

This is a Quarto implementation of [the Open-Source AI Cookbook](https://github.com/huggingface/cookbook), 
which is a collection of notebooks illustrating practical aspects of building AI 
applications and solving various machine learning tasks using open-source tools and models.

# About Quarto
[Quarto](https://quarto.org/) is a Markdown-based documentation system which lets you write documents in Markdown or Jupyter Notebooks, and render them to a variety of formats including HTML, PDF, Powerpoint, and more. 
You can also use Quarto to write [books](https://quarto.org/docs/books/), create [dashboards](https://quarto.org/docs/dashboards/), and embed web applications with [Observable](https://quarto.org/docs/interactive/ojs/) and [Shinylive](https://quarto.org/docs/blog/posts/2022-10-25-shinylive-extension/).

## Executing code

One of the main virtues of Quarto is that it lets you combine code and text in a single document.
By default if you include a code chunk in your document, Quarto will execute that code and include the output in the rendered document.
This is great for reproducibility and for creating documents that are always up-to-date.
For example you can include code which generates a plot like this:

```{python}
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Sample data
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
# Create a seaborn plot
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
g = sns.lmplot(x="total_bill", y="tip", data=tips, aspect=2)
g = g.set_axis_labels("Total bill (USD)", "Tip").set(xlim=(0, 60), ylim=(0, 12))

plt.title("Tip by Total Bill")
plt.show()
```

You can also include [inline code](https://quarto.org/docs/computations/inline-code.html) to insert computed values into text. 
For example we can reference the `tips` data frame which was defined in the preceding code block by wrapping it in ``{python} tips['tip'].max()``. 
The ouput of the inline code in inte `{python} tips['tip'].max()`. You can control [code execution](https://quarto.org/docs/computations/execution-options.html), or [freeze code output](https://quarto.org/docs/projects/code-execution.html#freeze) to capture the output of long running computations.
