Navigating Challenges in Language Model Development

Today we’re joined by David Rosenberg, head of the machine learning strategy team in the Office of the CTO at Bloomberg. In our conversation with David, we discuss the creation of BloombergGPT, a custom-built LLM focused on financial applications. We explore the model’s architecture, validation process, benchmarks, and its distinction from other language models. David also discussed the evaluation process, performance comparisons, progress, and the future directions of the model. Finally, we discuss the ethical considerations that come with building these types of models, and how they've approached dealing with these issues.
