O'Reilly Unveils Resources on Large Language Models and ChatGPT
O'Reilly has recently announced a new line-up of content, courses, and events focused on the emergence of large language models (LLMs) and ChatGPT, the AI chatbot developed by OpenAI. These resources aim to help individuals and businesses understand the potential benefits and pitfalls of these technologies and integrate them effectively into their workflows.
ChatGPT: Possibilities and Pitfalls Event
Central to these resources is the "ChatGPT: Possibilities and Pitfalls" live event sponsored by deepset, which took place on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. This virtual event featured O'Reilly founder and CEO Tim O'Reilly in discussion with Microsoft corporate vice president of search and AI Jordi Ribas and GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke, two business leaders who have already revolutionized their products with advanced AI.
During the event, expert speakers addressed the potential impacts of ChatGPT and large language models, explained how to avoid missteps as organizations integrate this new AI, and shared actionable ways to deal with large datasets and data augmentation, various model architectures, domain adaptation, and inference challenges.
"I've been present for--and participated in--some of the biggest technological advancements of the past four decades. Today, we are at the next inflexion point—one that is perhaps the most impactful yet," said Tim O'Reilly. "However, we can't properly harness what we do not understand. Learning about large language models is now vital for every business and every knowledge worker."
Upcoming Events and Courses
On June 27th, 2023, O'Reilly will present a special AI event hosted by analyst, consultant, engineer, researcher, and writer George Anadiotis, featuring Hugging Face research lead Nazneen Rajani. Titled "What's New in AI: Large Language Model Evaluation, Robustness, and Interpretability," the event offers attendees the chance to hear from leading minds in the field on topics such as generative AI, large language models, responsible AI, current regulations, and other notable developments.
