From Proprietary to Open Source to Fleets of Custom LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) have proven to be powerful tools for me over the last year. LLMs can be used to build a wide range of applications, from chatbots and content generators to coding assistants and question answering systems. After discussing the journey of building applications with friends, I want to share the typical progressionContinue reading “From Proprietary to Open Source to Fleets of Custom LLMs”

Open Source Principles in Foundation Models

The launch of Mistral 7B prompted me to reflect on the concept of open source in relation to Large language Models (LLMs). In essence, an open source LLM is a model whose code is publicly available under an open source license, allowing anyone to use, modify, and distribute the model. Open source machine learning modelsContinue reading “Open Source Principles in Foundation Models”
