Shift Your Thinking: Building Robust AI Applications with Llama Triangle

Join Almog Ackerstein, AI entrepreneur and expert, as he shares his insights on building robust AI applications with Large Language Models (LLMs), exploring the ANM triangle principles and best practices for harnessing the power of LLMs.

• 1. Elog is discussing LLMs (large language models) and their potential impact on technology and software.
• 2. LLMs are currently mainly used for small projects that enhance workflow, but their potential goes beyond that.
• 3. There are different types of LLMs, each with its strengths and weaknesses.
• 4. To use LLMs effectively, one must consider the complexity of the task, infrastructure and performance, cost effectiveness, and data availability.
• 5. LLMs can be fine-tuned or prompted to perform specific tasks, but they don't truly understand context or data.
• 6. Prompt templates are used to provide LLMs with relevant information and maintain sustainable code.
• 7. Giving LLMs the right balance of context and focused data is crucial for obtaining accurate results.
• 8. Few-shot learning is a technique that can be used to teach LLMs concepts by providing examples, helping them understand the context better.
• 9. Autonomous agents are elegant software solutions but can be hard to debug and may deliver inconsistent quality.
• 10. Reality depends on the situation, and autonomous agents should have clear borders to limit potential issues.
• 11. LLMs require a significant amount of data to function effectively, and data specialization is essential for high-quality results.
• 12. Engineering techniques like few-shot learning, prompt templates, and contextual data are key principles in working with LLMs.
• 13. LLMs need to be matched to the appropriate task based on various factors, such as complexity, infrastructure, cost effectiveness, and data availability.
• 14. LLMs are not all created equal, and choosing the right model for the task is crucial.
• 15. Large models are generally good at most use cases but can be expensive, while smaller models work well with simpler tasks or large datasets.
• 16. To build an LLM-native application, start with a big model, collect data, understand the context, and optimize incrementally.
• 17. The needle in the haystack problem is still relevant when working with LLMs, as providing enough information and focusing the data is crucial for accurate results.
• 18. Show, don't tell – sometimes it's easier to teach LLMs by showing rather than explaining.
