The difference lies between task-specific models and encoder models used as foundations for task-specific models. Encoder models like GPT-3 are trained with a language modeling objective and serve as pre-trained weights for task-specific models. Transfer learning often involves training a task-specific network on top of these pre-trained weights, leveraging the knowledge about language and the world encoded in them.
There hasn't been a boom like the AI boom since the .com days. And it may look like a space destined to be controlled by a couple of tech giants. But Ines Montani thinks open source will play an important role in the future of AI. I hope you join us for this excellent conversation about the future of AI and open source.
