I’m a data scientist working in consulting (EU) and I would like to push my company to delve more into open-source LLMs over closed ones (OpenAI…).
I’m constantly amazed by the progress shown by open-sourced LLMs in this sub. The increasing efficiency of models coupled with the expanding open-source LLM ecosystem make these models more and more competitive.
I keep thinking that there’s a market for custom LLMs, notably for private-sensitive companies like banks and insurances.
Any insights?
Yes there is. Just to mention one of many scenarios:
Make a chatbot based on a LLM. Learn how to train an LLM from data from the customer. Voila! Your customer just aquired a new employee to handle customer support or internal support.
