Large Language Models for Real-World Applications - A Gentle Intro

links:none on file
slides:none on file

Clear, concrete rundown: shows how GPT3 and Dall‑E class models are trained and deployed, demonstrates embeddings and fine‑tuning for classifiers and semantic search, and runs image VQA demos (Flamingo) plus image generation (Stable Diffusion). Covers prompt tactics—temperature, multiple generations, scratchpad/chain‑of‑thought—and practical deployment notes (Cohere API, Triton, reduced precision, distillation/adapters). Claims work at product scale (search snippets, chatbot intent, content moderation) and gives actionable pitfalls and data‑augmentation recipes.
