Episode notes

The first thing is to analyze how much data you're throwing at it. So in your example, you said 5000 transcript something like that. That's probably in the prompt regime. We're probably not doing anything beyond that. If we're now in the billion range, we can talk about pre training and layering in this data. The process reinforcement learning with human feedback RLHF. And actually what you do then is you say, well, the inputs are all this deck material, say, and then these companies did really well, and those companies did it.
