AI Development
- Training large language models (LLMs) is expensive, but building the tools and context around them is where real value is created.
- Think of LLMs as car engines; they're powerful, but need a chassis and purpose-built components to function effectively.
How AI Works
- Large language models don't inherently understand human language; they operate on statistical vector maps.
- Tools and context windows are built to translate human concepts into this vector language, allowing AI to process information and respond.
Context Window Example
- NVK uses the example of asking an AI about Preston's breakfast to illustrate the limitations of context windows.
- AI needs access to relevant data and tools to answer specific questions; they don't have inherent knowledge of personal details.
