Managing the Risks and Rewards of Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) have exploded in capability and adoption over the past couple years. They can generate human-like text, summarize documents, translate between languages, and even create original images and 3D designs based on text descriptions. Companies remain highly bullish on LLMs, with most either actively experimenting with or already partially implementing the technologyContinue reading “Managing the Risks and Rewards of Large Language Models”
From Supervised Fine-Tuning to Online Feedback
Over the last 9 months, my usage of general-purpose language models like OpenAI’s API has decreased as I’ve learned to leverage open-source models fine-tuned for specific tasks. Anyscale’s user-friendly Fine Tuning service has accelerated this transition by making it easy to craft accurate, efficient custom models. Despite the initial investment in creating labeled datasets, theContinue reading “From Supervised Fine-Tuning to Online Feedback”
