The False Promise of Imitating Proprietary LLMs (
https://
arxiv.org/abs/2305.15717) Crowd workers rate imitation models (models trained on other models' outputs) highly. But it turns out that these imitation models only tend to mimic the style of the upstream LLMs not their factuality.

Full Finetuning Not Always Necessary for Large Language Models
By
–
I don't think full finetuning is necessary, except as a baseline perhaps. Even without PEFT, it often doesn't make sense to tune all layers: (from my article https://

SFT, RLHF, and Process Supervision: Fine-tuning Techniques Compared
By
–
fine-tuning in this context:
– SFT/BC (supervised fine tuning & behavioral cloning) as a baseline, but is not powerful enough & has limitations
– RLHF/RLAIF as the big cannons
– Process Supervision, a la the recent @openai @hunterlightman paper as the newest hot technique -
Fine-tuning Essential: Beyond Prompting for LLM Product Control
By
–
thesis I am becoming convicted in: prompting alone—atop even the best LLMs—is NOT enough model control to build a compelling, sticky product as with software, tons of the value comes from fine-grained optimizations, and you can't do that with prompts alone you NEED fine tuning

Memory Types and Reflection for Improved Chatbot Performance

The most interesting thing here IMO is the exploration of multiple different types of "memory" for creating chatbots

Baseline would just be retrieval over the raw corpus, but by doing some reflection-like things as a preprocessing step, you can get better results https://t.co/XKeHg3Rgp0The most interesting thing here IMO is the exploration of multiple different types of "memory" for creating chatbots Baseline would just be retrieval over the raw corpus, but by doing some reflection-like things as a preprocessing step, you can get better results

LLM Functions and Pydantic Schema Parsing Integration
By
–
llm_kwargs: this is where we specify `functions` and `function_call` output_parser: this is where we parse the `function_call` response into either a string, json object, or pydantic object @pydantic is really nice for letting users specify schema in a Pythonic way!
