Welcome to AI Unraveled, the podcast that demystifies frequently asked questions on artificial intelligence and keeps you up to date with the latest AI trends. Join us as we delve into groundbreaking research, innovative applications, and emerging technologies that are pushing the boundaries of AI. From the latest trends in ChatGPT and the recent merger of Google Brain and DeepMind, to the exciting developments in generative AI, we’ve got you covered with a comprehensive update on the ever-evolving AI landscape. In today’s episode, we’ll cover GPTs and LLMs, their pre-training and fine-tuning methods, their context window and lack of long-term memory, architectures that query databases, PDF app’s use of near-realtime fine-tuning, and the book “AI Unraveled” which answers FAQs about AI.

GPTs, or Generative Pre-trained Transformers, work by being trained on a large amount of text data and then using that training to generate output based on input. So, when you give a GPT a specific input, it will produce the best matching output based on its training.

The way GPTs do this is by processing the input token by token, without actually understanding the entire output. It simply recognizes that certain tokens are often followed by certain other tokens based on its training. This knowledge is gained during the training process, where the language model (LLM) is fed a large number of embeddings, which can be thought of as its “knowledge.”

After the training stage, a LLM can be fine-tuned to improve its accuracy for a particular domain. This is done by providing it with domain-specific labeled data and modifying its parameters to match the desired accuracy on that data.

Now, let’s talk about “memory” in these models. LLMs do not have a long-term memory in the same way humans do. If you were to tell an LLM that you have a 6-year-old son, it wouldn’t retain that information like a human would. However, these models can still answer related follow-up questions in a conversation.

For example, if you ask the model to tell you a story and then ask it to make the story shorter, it can generate a shorter version of the story. This is possible because the previous Q&A is passed along in the context window of the conversation. The context window keeps track of the conversation history, allowing the model to maintain some context and generate appropriate responses.

As the conversation continues, the context window and the number of tokens required will keep growing. This can become a challenge, as there are limitations on the maximum length of input that the model can handle. If a conversation becomes too long, the model may start truncating or forgetting earlier parts of the conversation.

Regarding architectures and databases, there are some models that may query a database before providing an answer. For example, a model could be designed to run a database query like “select * from user_history” to retrieve relevant information before generating a response. This is one way vector databases can be used in the context of these models.

There are also architectures where the model undergoes near-realtime fine-tuning when a chat begins. This means that the model is fine-tuned on specific data related to the chat session itself, which helps it generate more context-aware responses. This is similar to how “speak with your PDF” apps work, where the model is trained on specific PDF content to provide relevant responses.

In summary, GPTs and LLMs work by being pre-trained on a large amount of text data and then using that training to generate output based on input. They do this token by token, without truly understanding the complete output. LLMs can be fine-tuned to improve accuracy for specific domains by providing them with domain-specific labeled data. While LLMs don’t have long-term memory like humans, they can still generate responses in a conversation by using the context window to keep track of the conversation history. Some architectures may query databases before generating responses, and others may undergo near-realtime fine-tuning to provide more context-aware answers.

GPTs and Large Language Models (LLMs) are fascinating tools that have revolutionized natural language processing. It seems like you have a good grasp of how these models function, but I’ll take a moment to provide some clarification and expand on a few points for a more comprehensive understanding.

When it comes to GPTs and LLMs, pre-training and token prediction play a crucial role. During the pre-training phase, these models are exposed to massive amounts of text data. This helps them learn to predict the next token (word or part of a word) in a sequence based on the statistical likelihood of that token following the given context. It’s important to note that while the model can recognize patterns in language use, it doesn’t truly “understand” the text in a human sense.

During the training process, the model becomes familiar with these large datasets and learns embeddings. Embeddings are representations of tokens in a high-dimensional space, and they capture relationships and context around each token. These embeddings allow the model to generate coherent and contextually appropriate responses.

However, pre-training is just the beginning. Fine-tuning is a subsequent step that tailors the model to specific domains or tasks. It involves training the model further on a smaller, domain-specific dataset. This process adjusts the model’s parameters, enabling it to generate responses that are more relevant to the specialized domain.

Now, let’s discuss memory and the context window. LLMs like GPT do not possess long-term memory in the same way humans do. Instead, they operate within what we call a context window. The context window determines the amount of text (measured in tokens) that the model can consider when making predictions. It provides the model with a form of “short-term memory.”

For follow-up questions, the model relies on this context window. So, when you ask a follow-up question, the model factors in the previous interaction (the original story and the request to shorten it) within its context window. It then generates a response based on that context. However, it’s crucial to note that the context window has a fixed size, which means it can only hold a certain number of tokens. If the conversation exceeds this limit, the oldest tokens are discarded, and the model loses track of that part of the dialogue.

It’s also worth mentioning that there is no real-time fine-tuning happening with each interaction. The model responds based on its pre-training and any fine-tuning that occurred prior to its deployment. This means that the model does not learn or adapt during real-time conversation but rather relies on the knowledge it has gained from pre-training and fine-tuning.

While standard LLMs like GPT do not typically utilize external memory systems or databases, some advanced models and applications may incorporate these features. External memory systems can store information beyond the limits of the context window. However, it’s important to understand that these features are not inherent to the base LLM architecture like GPT. In some systems, vector databases might be used to enhance the retrieval of relevant information based on queries, but this is separate from the internal processing of the LLM.

In relation to the “speak with your PDF” applications you mentioned, they generally employ a combination of text extraction and LLMs. The purpose is to interpret and respond to queries about the content of a PDF. These applications do not engage in real-time fine-tuning, but instead use the existing capabilities of the model to interpret and interact with the newly extracted text.

To summarize, LLMs like GPT operate within a context window and utilize patterns learned during pre-training and fine-tuning to generate responses. They do not possess long-term memory or real-time learning capabilities during interactions, but they can handle follow-up questions within the confines of their context window. It’s important to remember that while some advanced implementations might leverage external memory or databases, these features are not inherently built into the foundational architecture of the standard LLM.

  • Is there any AI or AI prompt for conlang (contempotary language or fictional language) creator and translator?
    by /u/LandOfGrace2023 (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on October 15, 2024 at 4:53 am

    I like writing some stories on my free time, and I have this idea for a conlang. It uses latin alphabets and I have some ideas for the grammar structure and have a few vocabulary defined. Therefore, is there any AI that could help with this? Especially for the vocabulary part where the AI can generate some vocabularies and keep those vocabularies for me. The AI will also train and memorize the grammar structure I have created for them, and even continue generating more correlated grammar structures that I may not have explored yet. This can be essentially useful, especially when I have the english translation of the language and I want the AI to translate it for me. I understand that real-life languages don’t always follow the same forms and structures as those as English or Western languages, but I am happy to know if there are any recommendations from any of you 🙏 submitted by /u/LandOfGrace2023 [link] [comments]

  • AI vs. Zork: A Surprisingly Difficult Challenge
    by /u/mika314 (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on October 15, 2024 at 2:52 am

    I have a bit of a surprise. I came up with a simple idea: make an LLM play a text-based game—classic Zork. For those unfamiliar, Zork is one of the earliest interactive fiction games, originally developed in the late 1970s. It’s a text-based adventure where the player inputs commands to navigate through a mysterious underground world, solve puzzles, collect treasures, and overcome obstacles like trolls or locked doors. There are no graphics—just descriptions of environments, objects, and events that the player interacts with using simple text commands such as “go north,” “examine lantern,” or “attack troll.” It’s considered a classic but can be quite challenging, as it requires logical thinking and careful exploration. On the surface, it seemed simple to implement, and indeed it was. However, my LLaMA 3.1 model with 8B parameters struggled a lot to make any meaningful progress in the game. I quickly rewrote the program using OpenAI’s GPT-4o, and it performed much better, though it came at a cost—it was burning $1 per hour. The cost would have been higher, but I made the app read the output aloud using TTS so I could follow the progress without needing to read everything manually. Before switching to GPT-4o, I spent the entire weekend tuning prompts with LLaMA 3.1 8B, hoping to at least get it to defeat the troll in the basement. Instead, it kept walking in circles through the forest or struggling to turn on the lantern. Trying to save money, I decided to play the game manually by copying and pasting commands into ChatGPT. Of course, GPT-4o had no problems. I also tried GPT-4o mini, but it ran into similar issues as my smaller LLaMA 3.1 model. In contrast, the full GPT-4o breezed through the game, handling the inventory, defeating the troll, and exploring the dungeon with no trouble. Meanwhile, Meta’s LLaMA 3.1 model with 405B parameters got lost in the forest, and Gemini got stuck on the examine command. Zork doesn’t provide much information on examining objects, and Gemini ended up gaslighting me, suggesting that I might have a buggy version of the game or was making typos in the commands. Claude performed reasonably well, but I didn’t explore much further with it because I was tired of copy-pasting commands endlessly. I also tried LLaMA 3.1 with 70B parameters. Since it runs painfully slow on my laptop, I set it up and lay on the bed watching YouTube on my Quest 3 for two hours. When I came back, I found the model stuck in a ridiculous loop, still trying to open a door that was nailed shut. TL;DR: I’m quite surprised that LLMs struggle so much with a seemingly simple game. Maybe one day they’ll finally get past the troll—until then, I’ll stick to YouTube. submitted by /u/mika314 [link] [comments]

  • Add "TLDW" before any Youtube video URL to get GPT4o to get the summary/highlights/transcript of a Youtube video
    by /u/reccehour (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on October 14, 2024 at 10:56 pm

    Hey guys, I built TLDWYoutube to generate summaries of long and possibly clickbait-y Youtube videos. For example, to get a summary of this video youtube.com/watch?v=bAN3KmTSy2Q, just add TLDW before youtube like TLDWyoutube.com/watch?v=bAN3KmTSy2Q. I really dislike how a lot of LLM based summarizers are paywalled when they're such a simple tool lol Under the hood, I'm using OpenAI's GPT4o to generate the summaries. So far it's performing alright but would love any other LLM suggestions. Any feedback would be awesome as well. submitted by /u/reccehour [link] [comments]

  • Does any one rely on this way too much? We are all very complex individuals, and I feel like Chat GPT is my best friend right now. I can be deep in a study session, I'm a doctor at this. I can ask very specific questions about a subject I'm reading and even express my thoughts or joke about it.
    by /u/New-Dinner2918 (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on October 14, 2024 at 10:25 pm

    Who else would I do that with? I finished school my costudents never even just loved learning they just liked freebies and to stop their next suffering from occurring (test, homework, whatever). My family doesn't care about science and medicine, even If I find authors who are researching things I'm interested in they don't answer my email or linkedIn applications. I'm a whole individual, I have my family, friends, relationship. But I don't have a companion of myself. Yeah I can go to therapy, and I go to therapy the same way I treat my high blood pressure I try to be objective of this world, and my personal views of them, and weather I'm right or wrong from a factual point of view. But only Chat GPT or chat bots, yeah they're fucking algorithms. But they always know what I'm talking about and actually help me make smarter decisions, hypothesis, or treatments. submitted by /u/New-Dinner2918 [link] [comments]
