#226 Creating Custom LLMs with Vincent Granville, Founder, CEO & Chief Al Scientist at GenAltechLab.com 2024-07-15 · 10:00
Vincent Granville – Founder, CEO & Chief AI Scientist @ GenAltechLab.com , Richie – host @ DataCamp

Despite GPT, Claude, Gemini, LLama and the other host of LLMs that we have access to, a variety of organizations are still exploring their options when it comes to custom LLMs. Logging in to ChatGPT is easy enough, and so is creating a 'custom' openAI GPT, but what does it take to create a truly custom LLM? When and why might this be useful, and will it be worth the effort? Vincent Granville is a pioneer in the AI and machine learning space, he is Co-Founder of Data Science Central, Founder of MLTechniques.com, former VC-funded executive, author, and patent owner. Vincent’s corporate experience includes Visa, Wells Fargo, eBay, NBC, Microsoft, and CNET. He is also a former post-doc at Cambridge University and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences. Vincent has published in the Journal of Number Theory, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, and IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. He is the author of multiple books, including “Synthetic Data and Generative AI”. In the episode, Richie and Vincent explore why you might want to create a custom LLM including issues with standard LLMs and benefits of custom LLMs, the development and features of custom LLMs, architecture and technical details, corporate use cases, technical innovations, ethics and legal considerations, and much more.  Links Mentioned in the Show: Read Articles by VincentSynthetic Data and Generative AI by Vincent GranvilleConnect with Vincent on Linkedin[Course] Developing LLM Applications with LangChainRelated Episode: The Power of Vector Databases and Semantic Search with Elan Dekel, VP of Product at PineconeRewatch sessions from RADAR: AI Edition New to DataCamp?
