My fav food metaphors that I shared a week ago at 🤩 MadHats conference: Open Source LLM: A community cookbook with recipes anyone can view, use, and modify. Chefs can create new recipes or improve existing ones, leading to a diverse and ever-evolving collection. Closed Source LLM: A Michelin-starred restaurant's secret recipe book. Access is limited to their chefs. The techniques might be perfected, but you can't see all the secrets. We shared the importance of diversity, variery and celebrated nuances with outstanding leaders: Krishna Gade Lukas Biewald Ron Bodkin (ty, you are awesome!) #llm #opensourcemodels #closedsourcemods
