LLM customization ecosystem is heating up – Remarkable that prompt engineering works at all, but stagnates
– Retrieval can help few-shot prompts, but still…
– Finetuning (BC/RL) is the cannon. But is much more involved
Congrats @realSharonZhou & @GregoryDiamos on the launch!

Fun, qualitatively different experience over "texting"
Ty @CallAnnieAI for shoutout to my tweet a ~year ago pitching this as an idea https://t.co/LE6dYcDsxZ
With improvements to personality, latency, ASR/TTS could be magical ✨ https://t.co/eMeYzyum5TFaceTime with ChatGPT https://

LoRA Finetuning: Shifting the Balance in LLM Adaptation

There's a chance that LoRA finetunes work so well that it dramatically alters the finetuning vs. retrieval + few-shot prompting power dynamic in favor of the former for many applications.

Embedding and Ranker Choices: Ada and kNN Performance Comparison
By
–
For science I also added:
– Choice of Embedding: simple tfidf bigrams or the OpenAI API embeddings ada-002 (ada should work better (?), tfidf is much much simpler)
– Choice of Ranker: kNN (much faster/simpler) or SVM
Default that seems to be both good & fast is ada+knn -
Search Limitations and Embedding-Based Content Search Extension Possibilities
By
–
Sorry right now you can only search for specific movies. It's possible to search by content because you can embed the query and search by it, this could be a good extension. I tested it just in console briefly but didn't incorporate into UI, felt a little bit flaky

Copilot and ChatGPT accelerate project development by 2-3X

heavy use of copilot and chatgpt, if i had to guess probably sped up the project somewhere around 2-3X or so. "old fashioned way" has become nonsensical

Weekend Hack: Movie Search Engine Using OpenAI Embeddings
By
–
Fun weekend hack: https://
awesome-movies.life
Took all 11,768 movies since 1970
Took each movie's Summary+Plot from Wikipedia, embedded it with OpenAI API (ada-002) Wrapped it up into a movie search/recommendation engine site 🙂
it works ~okay hah, have to tune it a bit more. -
