Building Language Models and the Power of Fine-tuning
The guest discusses the importance of fine-tuning language models to improve their performance. He emphasizes that increasing the size of the model alone does not necessarily lead to better results. Fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, prompt engineering, and instruction training are key factors in optimizing the performance of language models. He also highlights that small teams of specialized researchers and data scientists can create models that outperform larger monolithic companies, and this distributed approach to model development can be leveraged to build an exceptional language model.
