Introduction to the fine tuning in Large Language Models

Fine tuning in LLM In this article, we're going to delve into the techniques used to adapt a generic pre-trained model for a specific task or application. Now, pre-trained language models can do really impressive stuff just immediately off the shelf, including things like text generation, summarization, and even providing levels of code. But LLMs are not one-size-fits-all as you can imagine and maybe I want to specialize it even further after the model has been trained. I'd like to make it really good at answering questions based on certain topics such as medicine or travel or code or something. This is what the idea of fine-tuning comes in.  Methods used in Fine tuning: Fine-tuning a large language model refers to the process of taking a pre-trained language model or a model that's already been trained on a large dataset and further training it on a smaller task-specific dataset. Now this process will allow the model to adapt and specialize its capability. And if we take t...

Understanding the basic architecture of LLMs

Architecture of LLMs In this article, we're going to discover the key components in general architecture that make up typical large language models.  Introduction to LLM Architecture: Now, large language models will have things like the transformer neural networks at their very underlying pieces of it. Remember, these transformers are just a large number of parameters are attached to this transformer model and these LLMs are able to then understand and generate accurate responses because it's using this type of neural network at its core. In fact, what you're going to see is that these LLMs are referred to as foundation models and it's all it means is a foundation model is so large and impactful that it serves as its own class of artificial intelligence so that we can start experimenting with these types. Transformer Model Structure: It's just a way for us to classify these models that are being used today. Now, what exactly is a transformer model? We'll get to ...

Let's understand basic to intermediate aspects of Large Language Models

Large Language Models In this article, we're going to discuss large language models and explain how they are used in the world of AI.  What is LLM and how does it work? So, let's start with a brief definition of what large language models are. So, a large language model is just a type of artificial intelligence algorithm that uses deep learning techniques and massively large data sets to understand, summarize, and even predict new content. Now what you'll see here with the generative AI is that it's closely connected with things like LLMs. Now all that you can think of is an LLM is just a type of generative AI that's specifically architected to help generate text content for us. As a result, these LLMs use a deep learning algorithm that can perform a variety of these natural language processing tasks. This can include things like, well, words, grammar, and semantics are what the LLM is very good at understanding. It's able to look at the training set and identif...
