Fine-Tuned Newsletter: March 2024

Fine-Tuned's latest edition highlights key developments in AI and LLM technology, including a new course on efficiently serving large language models (LLMs) by CTO Travis Addair, and significant platform optimizations that enhance fine-tuning speeds by up to 5x. The newsletter emphasizes the superiority of Upstage's Solar LLM, now available exclusively on Predibase, which outperforms GPT-4 on a majority of tasks. It features webinars, seminars, and workshops on fine-tuning open-source LLMs, illustrating the benefits of using technologies like Ludwig and LoRAX to address cost and latency issues in AI productionization. Additionally, it showcases a tutorial on fine-tuning Llama 3 for customer support and discusses Predibase's new fine-tuning stack, which, alongside specialized A100 clusters, offers unprecedented training speeds. The edition also includes insights from events like a webinar on accelerating LLM fine-tuning by 15x and a virtual workshop demonstrating how to fine-tune models to rival GPT-4, using efficient techniques and state-of-the-art optimizations.
