LLMs

In general, I see LLMs to be used in two broad categories: data processing, which is more of a worker use-cases, where the latency isn't the biggest issue but rather quality, and in user-interactions, where latency is a big factor. I think for the faster case a faster fallback is necessary. Or you escalate upwards, you first rely on a smaller more... See more

GPT-4 Turbo performs better than our previous models on tasks that require the careful following of instructions, such as generating specific formats (e.g., “always respond in XML”). It also supports our new JSON mode, which ensures the model will respond with valid JSON. The new API parameter response_format enables the model to constrain its... See more

When we deliver a model we make sure we don't reach X seconds of latency in our API. Before even going into performance of LLMs for classification, I can tell you that with the current available tech they are just infeasible.

In addition to using our built-in capabilities, you can also define custom actions by making one or more APIs available to the GPT. Like plugins, actions allow GPTs to integrate external data or interact with the real-world. Connect GPTs to databases, plug them into emails, or make them your shopping assistant. For example, you could integrate a... See more

For the deployment side of things, we found that the performance of our training process was quite slow, especially when it gets into these large language models and when you train from scratch. MosaicML offers what's called programmatic optimization, which is not so much on the hardware side of things, but rather on the algorithmic side. Can you... See more

A core research interest of mine is imagining new kinds of interfaces to text documents that are made possible by modern AI and software. I think an interesting place to look for such ideas may be interface designs for reading and writing legal documents .

Legal document-wrangling tools have a handful of properties that make it fertile ground for... See more

A solution is to self-host an open-sourced or custom fine-tuned LLM. Opting for a self-hosted model can reduce costs dramatically - but with additional development time, maintenance overhead, and possible performance implications. Considering self-hosted solutions requires weighing these different trade-offs carefully.
