Large Language Models (LLMs) are developing at an ever increasing speed. Along with ChatGPT, GPT-4 & Bard, multiple other semi open source models have come out with different training regimes and datasets. In this talk Sam will recap the best of the models and the techniques that set them apart from what has come before.

With both open source models ( such as Flan-20B with UL2) and the PaLM APIs coming to GCP, Google is very much on board with the LLM revolution. In the 2nd part of the talk Sam will focus on the best practices for building apps on top of LLMs and LLM APIs with frameworks such as Langchain and Llama Index which make it much easier and add a variety of tools for API, Reasoning and Prompt Engineering as addons to LLM apps.
