🦾 New episode of Practical AI!

💬 Chris and @dwhitena take a step back to look at how generative AI fits into the wider landscape of ML/AI/data science 🌄

They talk through the differences in how one approaches “traditional” supervised learning and how practitioners are approaching generative AI based solutions 🎨

Finally, they talk through the risk and compliance implications of generative AI, which was in the news this week in the EU 📰

🚀 New episode of Practical AI!

At the recent #ODSC East conference, @dwhitena got a chance to sit down with @erinmikail to discuss the process of gathering human feedback and creating an instruction tuned Large Language Models (LLM). 🗣️

They also chatted about the importance of open data and practical tooling for data annotation and fine-tuning. Do you want to create your own custom generative AI models? This is the episode for you! 🧫

It's not real until there is a LangChain integration...

PR open for Prediction Guard as an LLM in LangChain: github.com/hwchase17/langchain

Let's go!

The "Prediction Guard" system helps devs quickly find and reliably integrate the best #AI models for their use case (e.g. LLMs like those shown).

If you dig this, "like" this video by clicking 👍 on YouTube (not here): youtu.be/QcE2MqnAQog. I'm up for a prize at @INFORMS this week!

Spent the weekend adding tests, database migration scripts, and some automation to the Prediction Guard (predictionguard.com/) API! Will be sending out invites to more people on the wait-list his week.

Also, I have an example in the works to show Prediction Guard and LangChain together for the best possible #AI app integrations.

LangChain:
- Prompt templates
- Chaining
- Agents
- etc

Prediction Guard:
- Model selection
- Model fallbacks
- Future proofing
- etc

Today I used Prediction Guard (predictionguard.com/) to compare 14 different SOTA machine translation models across a bunch of languages. I found an optimized model for each language pair, given a set of domain specific examples.

Long story short... NLLB from Meta/Facebook is dope. #AI #NLProc

There's too much hype about Metaverse, Multiverse, and all the verses. 😀

On this week's @practicalai, Beau Perschall (NVIDIA) discusses 3D assets that are actually useful for industrial #AI applications! Simulation, synthetic data, and more. Listen now: changelog.com/practicalai/209

🔥Hot take: you shouldn't care about the specific #AI model you are using. It'll be obsolete in a matter of weeks.

But... there's good news. I recently built "Prediction Guard" to future proof my inferences!

🚀Launching publicly soon. Join the waitlist: predictionguard.com

I had a delightful time setting up a #GPU-based dev environment... When's the last time you said that? 😀

Why do small organizations struggle with #MachineLearning #DataScience #AI?

Hint: It's not because they of their lack of "big data" (is that even still a term that people use?)

Winter break was a fun one for side projects! One of those turned into something that's changing the way I think about reliably integrating #AI into products.

"Prediction Guard" will be launching soon! 🚀
