Episode notes
LlamaIndex Origin
- Jerry Liu's initial exploration of LLMs involved building a customer bot using GPT-3.
- This personal project evolved into LlamaIndex, driven by the need to connect private data with LLMs.
LLMs vs. Traditional ML
- Traditional machine learning emphasized a cycle of data preparation, training, experimentation, and deployment.
- LLMs shift this focus by using pre-trained models, changing how data is used and experiments are conducted.
LlamaIndex Functionality
- LlamaIndex connects external data to LLMs, focusing on formatting and structuring data for inference, not training.
- It processes data into chunks, enabling LLMs to use private information during inference.
