🦾 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! 🧫

Spent the weekend adding tests, database migration scripts, and some automation to the Prediction Guard (https://www.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
