• Bard supports extensions that include @Gmail -- i.e. converse with your email.

• llama-cpp-python works with other GGUF models like Mistral and allows constrained output - JSON, function calling, etc. Ref #llm-ops

• 12 Tuning Strategies for RAG #markdown #optimization #prompt-engineering

• Llama Datasets are RAG datasets created mostly using GPT-4. Mostly small datasets.

• ⭐ Intuitions about large language models #future
  • Bigger models (70b) are much better at learning from few-shot examples. They really learn.
  • Bigger models will keep getting better!
  • Chain of Thought prompting is a way of providing more compute to complex problems that require more compute
  • Models will show emergent (completely new) behaviors that can't be predicted from extrapolation. These may not be intentional.
