A Hackers’ Guide to Language Models. Jeremy Howard’s new 1.5 hour YouTube introduction to language models looks like a really useful place to catch up if you’re an experienced Python programmer looking to start experimenting with LLMs. He covers what they are and how they work, then shows how to build against the OpenAI API, build a Code Interpreter clone using OpenAI functions, run models from Hugging Face on your own machine (with NVIDIA cards or on a Mac) and finishes with a demo of fine-tuning a Llama 2 model to perform text-to-SQL using an open dataset. # 25th September 2023, 12:24 am
Catching up on the weird world of LLMs
I gave a talk on Sunday at North Bay Python where I attempted to summarize the last few years of development in the space of LLMs—Large Language Models, the technology behind tools like ChatGPT, Google Bard and Llama 2.
[... 10489 words]simpleaichat (via) Max Woolf released his own Python package for building against the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 APIs (and potentially other LLMs in the future).
It’s a very clean piece of API design with some useful additional features: there’s an AsyncAIChat subclass that works with Python asyncio, and the library includes a mechanism for registering custom functions that can then be called by the LLM as tools.
One trick I haven’t seen before: it uses a combination of max_tokens: 1 and a ChatGPT logit_bias to ensure that answers to one of its default prompts are restricted to just numerals between 0 and 9. This is described in the PROMPTS.md file. # 8th June 2023, 9:06 pm
