Large Language Models: The Largeness, the Power and the ‘Emergent’ Mystery
September 22, 2023 by Leave a Comment
Large language models fit the classic model of a red-hot technology in an early stage of commercial viability: there’s more talk about it than knowledge, and FOMO – the fear that your competitors are implementing it at your peril – is helping to drive explosive demand. There’s also an allure and mystery around LLMs: some of the awe-inspiring “zero shot” things they do surprise even the data scientists who trained the models (more on this below). Against this backdrop….
