It would take 355 years to train GPT-3 on a single NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU. Fine-tuning LLMs doesn't take the same amount of compute or data but is by no means a lightweight task. Unsurprisingly, this has led to the emergence of #LLMOps.

A few key capabilities for LLMOps are: 1. foundation model fine-tuning, 2. iterative training data development, 3. programmatic labeling, 4. weak supervision 5. prompt experimentation, 6. prompt chaining, 7. data synthesis and augmentation, 8. knowledge distillation

After all, data and language are quickly becoming the interface for programming.

True data privacy is not possible with legacy outsourced manual labeling- as this unfortunate example accentuates... technologyreview.com/2022/12… Programmatic labeling is not just faster and more adaptable- it's private! @SnorkelAI

In an environment where every organization is trying to do more with less, it’s exciting to hear a @SnorkelAI customer say, “Snorkel Flow will literally help us 2x-4x the number of projects we can take on in 2023!!” More on the impact of Snorkel Flow: snorkel.ai/case-studies/

The rise of foundation models like #gpt3, CLIP, #dalle2#imagen#stablediffusion, and many more has been amazing and fun. But getting models into production is about your data. Data is the only thing that doesn’t commoditize.

Snorkel AI’s view of leveraging data is the way to go--you need a programming abstraction, a way to express, combine, and iteratively correct different sources of data and supervision signal, & ultimately, a way to train a smaller, faster, cheaper deployable model for your task.
