ChatGPT from Scratch: How to Train an Enterprise AI Assistant

Tue Nov 7, 2023, by Phil Winder, in ChatGPT, Talk, Generative AI

This is a video of a presentation investigating how large language models are built and how to use them, inspired by our large language model consulting work. First presented at GOTO Copenhagen in 2023, the video investigates the history, the technology, and the use of large language models. The demo at the end is borderline cringe, but it’s a fun and demonstrates how you would fine-tune a language model on your proprietary data.
