Choose your Champion! Task-Specific vs. General Models

Should AI models be like Swiss Army knives, versatile and handy in a variety of scenarios? Or do we prefer them as precision tools, finely tuned for specific tasks? In the world of artificial intelligence, and natural language processing specifically, this is an ongoing debate. The question boils down to whether models trained for specific tasks are more effective at these tasks than general models. Task-specific models: specialization and customization In my last blog post , we looked at the rise of personalized LLMs, customized for specific users. Personalized LLMs can be seen as an extreme form of task-specific model. Fans of task-specific models stress that these kinds of models are better suited for tasks involving confidential or proprietary data. This is obviously true. But some people also believe that specialized models necessarily perform better in their specific domains. It may sound logical, but the ans...

GPT-4: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about OpenAI's Latest

The good news: GPT-4 is here! The bad news: It doesn’t quite live up to the hype. The versions of GPT-4 currently available to the public are refined and improved versions of their predecessors, sure. But the much-touted multimodal capabilities are more limited than was widely expected. And even the ability of users to upload visuals for various reasons is not quite ready for public roll-out. Disappointingly to many as well, OpenAI is keeping mum on the specifics of GPT’s size and training data. What is GPT-4? GPT-4, short for Generative Pre-training Transformer 4, is the latest of OpenAI’s AI language models. (A variation, GTP-4-32K, is being rolled out separately, but for the sake of simplicity, we will refer to both as GTP-4.) GPT-4 follows in the footsteps of GPT-3.5, the technology behind the now-famous ChatGPT. "Generative" refers to the fact that GPT models can produce human-like text. It does this by predicting the next word in a ...

You can provide information, answer questions, and convert them into a customer. The use of chatbots for lead generation has become popular over the last decade. But recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) mean chatbots have become even more effective. This post will explore artificial intelligence lead generation: its uses and methods. We’ll specifically look at a chatbot that has been drawing a lot of attention: ChatGPT . What is ChatGPT?
