Study Notes

Generative AI: Current Stack and Applications

  • Generative AI has enabled thousands of business opportunities due to AI democratization
  • Prompt techniques and low-code/no-code tools have made it possible for projects to require little to no programming
  • Development frameworks enable more complex use cases

Large Language Models (LLMs)

  • LLMs are deep learning algorithms that can recognize, summarize, translate, predict, and generate content using large datasets
  • They are sophisticated AI systems that can understand, generate, and process human language with high proficiency

Task-Specific vs. Foundation Models

  • Task-specific models are trained for a single task, whereas foundation models can be used for a wide variety of tasks
  • Foundation models are generally trained in an unsupervised manner using huge amounts of unstructured data

Landscape of Large Language Models

  • The world of LLMs is divided between open-source models (open access) and proprietary models (closed-source models)
  • Proprietary models are owned by companies and have license restrictions, whereas open-source models are free to access and modify

Open-Source Large Language Models

  • Llama 2 is a popular open-source LLM provided by Meta, with pre-trained and fine-tuned models containing 7-70 billion parameters
  • Vicuna is another open-source LLM, fine-tuned from Llama 2 with supervised instruction fine-tuning
  • Bloom is a multilanguage model with 176 billion parameters, provided by BigScience

Proprietary Large Language Models

  • Examples include OpenAI's GPT and Google's Gemini, which are larger (over 175 billion parameters) and closed-source

Disadvantages of Foundational Models

  • They can perform poorly on specific use cases, have knowledge cut-offs, and lack domain-specific knowledge
  • Training data can include biased or incorrect information, and they can generate harmful content if not properly controlled

Methods to Improve Foundational Models

  • Reinforced Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)
  • Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

Prompt Engineering

  • Prompt engineering is the discipline of providing inputs to generative AI models to specify and confine the set of responses
  • It involves designing effective instructions or queries to guide the output of language models, optimizing their responses for desired results

Explore the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and understand the division between Open-Source Models and Proprietary Models. Learn about the features, ownership, and restrictions associated with each type of model.
