Sebastian Raschka, Independent AI Researcher and author of Build a Large Language Model from Scratch, joins Hugo to talk about what's changed in AI architecture, from post-training to hybrid models, and why understanding what's under the hood matters more than ever for developers building in the agentic era.
Kshetrajna Raghavan, a principal engineer from Shopify, walks through how they evolved their approach to extracting structured data from millions of merchant stores. One-shot LLM calls hit quality and cost ceilings fast, so the team shifted to an agentic architecture where the model explores stores on its own to find answers.
In this deeply informative video, Jeremy Howard, co-founder of fast.ai and creator of the ULMFiT approach on which all modern language models (LMs) are based, takes you on a comprehensive journey through the fascinating landscape of LMs. Starting with the foundational concepts, Jeremy introduces the architecture and mechanics that make these AI systems tick. He then delves into critical evaluations of GPT-4, illuminates practical uses of language models in code writing and data analysis, and offers hands-on tips for working with the OpenAI API. The video also provides expert guidance on…
