How to Align Large Language Models with Human Preferences Using Direct Preference Optimization, QLoRA, and Ultra-Feedback

In this tutorial, we implement an end-to-end Direct Preference Optimization workflow to align a large language model with human preferences without using a reward model. We combine TRL’s DPOTrainer ...

Are LTMs the next LLMs? This new type of AI can do what large-language models can’t

A major difference between LLMs and LTMs is the type of data they’re able to synthesize and use. LLMs use unstructured data—think text, social media posts, emails, etc. LTMs, on the other hand, can ...
