Numbers Game of GenAI
Trying to make sense of the numbers alongside GenAI models making your head hurt? 405B, 7B, 70B … lets try and clear things up. TDLR; those numbers are parameters. 7 Billion, 70 Billion parameters or adjustable levers to configure the model. The magic of LLMs lies in the math! Parameters are the Building Blocks of…

What does it mean to train in GenAI?
Training vs. Fine-tuning: The Educational Journey Training: This is the AI equivalent of a full education from kindergarten through PhD. We feed massive amounts of data to create a model from scratch. It’s time-consuming, computationally EXPENSIVE, and requires specialized expertise. True training is mostly done by organizations like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta. Fine-tuning: Think of…

Benchmarking Gen AI Models
Are You Choosing the Right AI Model? Discover the Benchmarks that Matter! Large Language Models (LLMs) have seen a rapid evolution in a short period of time. As these models continue to grow in complexity and capability, evaluating their performance through standardized benchmarks becomes essential. Benchmarks serve as standardized tests designed to evaluate and compare…

In the battle of traditional vs. generative AI, who wins? Plot twist: it’s not a competition at all.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a buzzword in recent years, with breakthroughs in generative AI capturing headlines and imaginations. However, it’s important to understand that AI encompasses a broad spectrum of technologies, including both traditional and generative approaches. These two branches of AI, while distinct, are not mutually exclusive and often work best when combined.…

Black Hat Prompt Engineering
Prompt engineering … a necessary business skill set that can be leveraged with bad intentions. What is Prompt Engineering?Prompt engineering is the art and science of crafting inputs, known as prompts, to effectively communicate with generative AI models. These models respond to textual inputs by generating human-like text based on the prompt’s instructions. In simple…

Could Multi-Billion Token Prompts Make Retrieval-Augmentation Obsolete?
The ability for large language models to understand and generate relevant responses hinges on the amount of context they can process at once—the “prompt window” size. For current models like GPT-4, this is limited to around 8,000 tokens. To compensate, techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) have been developed. RAG models first retrieve relevant documents or…

What is LOrA?
When it comes to Gen AI, efficiency and adaptability are key. Low-Rank Adaptation (LOrA), is enabling more optimized AI operation. What is LOrA?LOrA is a technique that allows us to adapt pre-trained AI models to new tasks or datasets without the need for extensive retraining. Instead of updating all parameters in a model, LOrA focuses…

Empowering the Citizen Data Scientist with AutoML
Gen AI is commanding attention, but what about automating traditional machine learning, what about AutoML? Although it has been pushed a bit to the back burner of excitement due to Gen AI, a valuable functionality is now widely available in the industry – Automated Machine Learning (AutoML). Giving rise to the citizen data scientist, it…
