There are many tutorials on getting started with Langchain and LLMs to create simple chat applications. I want to go slightly beyond this post and go into a bit of detail on the role of memory has in chat applications, and lastly touch on how you can scale your application across multiple sessions and multiple users. What is Langchain? Langchain is an open-source python package that helps in creating LLM solutions....
Today, I want to take you through a simple next-word prediction model built using PyTorch. These models are famous in search applications, Gmail’s Smart Compose feature, which predicts the next words or sentences in emails you want to write. Google goes into detail on how they build their smart compose feature in their research blog post here. From this, I want to pull out some key learnings and requirements: Latency. Latency is important, must generate a response in under 100ms....
In this post, we explore the cost of deploying or buying your generative AI. Specifically, I want to focus on the computing cost - not the additional costs which contribute to the total cost of ownership. In this, I want to explore three options, these are: Managed: Use OpenAI directly Self-managed: Deploy using AWS Self-managed: Deploy using Google Cloud This post is part of my wider LLM series. Handling multiple interactions with Langchain LLM Risks - Prompt Injection Or a full list of posts, available here....
Generative AI models are all the rage nowadays. For data people, generative models have been around for several years, but the power and usability of products such as ChatGPT have taken the world by storm. This emergence has brought in new and emerging security risks with it. One of the largest and most novel risks is prompt injection. Prompt injection attacks can affect all large language and generative AI models....
A book that I’ve read recently is Strategy Beyond the Hockey Sticks, written by Chris Bradley, Martin Hint and Sven Smith, consultants at McKinsey. This book covers the social side of strategy development and the common pitfalls executives experience. It introduces new ways to think about strategy primarily centered around bringing an outside view of your competitive landscape, and evaluating strategy in the theme of big moves. Perhaps the most insightful element of the book is the encouragement to take an outside view....
