In an era where data is abundant yet precious, a new technique (“Distilling Step-by-Step”)  transforms Large Language Models (LLMs) from mere label predictors to reasoning agents that provide intermediate rationales, bridging the gap between inputs and final answers. This mechanism enables the crafting of efficient task-specific models that require less data, less computational cost, andContinue reading “Efficient Learning with Distilling Step-by-Step”

The rising popularity of Generative AI is driving companies to adopt custom large language models (LLMs) to address concerns about intellectual property, and data security and privacy. Custom LLMs can safeguard proprietary data while also meeting specific needs, delivering enhanced performance and accuracy for improved user experiences and operations. Tailoring these models to specific requirementsContinue reading “Keys to a Robust Fleet of Custom LLMs”
