Tune Studio is an end-to-end platform for developing applications using Large Language Models. So far, I haven't seen any other platform like this one. You can do everything here: 1. You can curate your data. 2. Use the playground to play with different models and try your ideas. 3.... Fine-tune an open-source model on your data. 4. Deploy the model when you are done. This is awesome for anyone building generative AI applications. You can use Tune Studio to work with any of the open-source models out there. They were one of the few companies to host Llama 2 and Llama 3 before anyone else. Here is a link to check it out: One of their main selling points is that Tune Studio scales! You don't have to worry about serving your model to lots of users. They also have built-in user management, authentication, on-prem support, user context management, and pretty much everything you need to build generative AI applications. Thanks to the Tune team for collaborating with me on this post. We are living through the best years of development tools for AI developers. The field is unstoppable.show more

Small Language Models (SML) are the future of AI. "Small" (SML) instead of "Large" (LLM). These small models are highly specialized models with superhuman abilities on specific tasks. Here are two techniques to build these models: • Spectrum • Model Merging I give you a short introduction in the attached video, but here is a quick summary: Spectrum helps us identify the most relevant layers to solve one specific task. We can ignore everything else and focus on fine-tuning these layers. Using Spectrum, we can fine-tune models in a heartbeat. Model Merging combines multiple models into a unique, much better model than any of the individual input models. You can also combine models specialized in different tasks and get a model with multiple abilities. This is the state of the art of productizing models. It's what Arcee.ai's platform does behind the scenes. Arcee collaborated with me on this post and is sponsoring it. There are three main steps to produce a model for your particular use case: 1. You create a dataset by uploading your data. 2. You train a model. At this step, Arcee uses Spectrum and Model Merging to produce a highly specialized model for your task. 3. You can deploy that model to any environment you want. Three important notes: • Training process is 2x faster and 2x cheaper than regular fine-tuning. • Resultant models are smaller and have higher accuracy. • They create these specialized models from open-source models. Check this site so you can fully appreciate how this works: If you want to fine-tune an open-source model, consider Arcee's platform. This is the state of the art.

99% of AI applications are cool-looking demos. Impressive, but don't get fooled by the hype. It takes a lot to build enterprise-grade products that deliver real value. I have at least three weekly conversations with companies that want to use a Large Language Model with their data. The demand is huge! Here is one idea about what you can do to help. The use cases that most of these companies want to solve are similar: They have an extensive knowledge base and want to build a simple application that uses that information to answer questions. In other words, they need help building Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications they can use in many different scenarios: 1. To train new employees 2. To help their support team 3. To search old meetings and documents 4. To help with their research However, building these systems is not straightforward. Yes, there's a lot of information online, but there aren't enough people who know how to create solutions that work. Here is the idea: Today, you can build an enterprise-grade RAG application without writing code. A couple of MIT PhDs with 10+ years of experience building AI applications created . It's a no-code platform for building applications using Large Language Models. They are partnering with me on this post. You can use Stack AI to create, test, and deploy an end-to-end production-ready AI system. It's SOC-2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant and offers SSO, role management, access control, and on-premise deployments. Of course, you can use the platform with any LLM on the market now. It's the whole nine yards for building AI applications. Check them out here: 2023 was about models. 2024 is about the tools using these models to build production-ready applications. That's where I'd start.

You can now fine-tune Llama 3 without writing a single line of code! We are moving at breakneck speed. I recorded a video to show you how to fine-tune any open-source model in a few minutes. I'm using a GPT capable of taking a problem and turning it into a fine-tuned model that will solve it. You don't have to write any code. You only need to explain to a GPT what problem you want to solve and tell it you want to use Llama 3. For example, "fine-tune Llama 3" or "deploy zephyr." It feels magic. The system will recommend a dataset and fine-tune the model for you. I'm using Monster API, a platform that specializes in making fine-tuning and deploying open-source models easy and fast. Their stack is well-optimized to maximize fine-tuning efficiency using techniques like Q-Lora and vLLM. They are behind the GPT. Here is what you need to do: 1. Create an account at 2. Load the GPT with the link below This is as simple as it gets. When you are done, you can click a button to deploy the model and start using it. I have 10,000 free credits for anyone using the code "SANTIAGO" in the dashboard. You can use these credits to access, fine-tune, and deploy these open-source models. You can also keep up with their latest updates, and get free credits and special offers on their Discord server:

Web scraping is a critical skill, and yet nobody talks about it. How do you think companies are training their Large Language Models? Where do you think the data comes from? But web scraping goes beyond all of that. Imagine giving an AI agent access to any public online data in real time! I like to call this "web-scrapping on demand", and I'm pretty sure it's going to unlock unlimited power for AI applications. I recorded a quick video to show you how you can do this using Apify. I've talked about them before, and they are collaborating with me on this post. They have one of the best open-source web scraping and browser automation libraries out there: But it gets much better than this! You can use MCP to connect your AI Agents and applications to the Apify platform and use any specialized actor on demand to scrape and process online data. In the video, I used Cursor to scrape LinkedIn posts with the words "Machine Learning" in real time. Worked like a charm with no code needed! Here is a link to the platform: Think about this: You can now feed your AI applications with any public data on demand! We aren't ready for what's coming.

Building with AI gets easier every day. Here is an open-source library that makes integrating AI into an application extremely easy: Star the repository! This library alone can make React the best front-end framework out there! There are a bunch of cool things I like about CopilotKit. Here are 3 of them: 1. It allows you to take any -powered agent and bring it into your application. (This is a brand-new feature!) 2. You can build an AI-powered chatbot in your application. The chatbot will have access to your context and can act on the application. 3. You can build a RAG workflow to process and answer questions from a real-time knowledge base. I recorded a video to show you how simple it is to make some of this happen. A few lines of code, and you are in business. Here is a link to the sample application: CopilotKit is open-source. You can self-host it. You can use it with any LLM. Thanks to the team for showing me their tool and collaborating with me on this post!

Choose a model (any model) and build your application with it. Do not spend time swapping models early on. Do not try to optimize before you have a working system. This is one of the first recommendations I make to every new team I consult with. Eventually, it will be time to optimize the model. • You may need a cheaper model • You may need a faster model • You might need a smarter model Good luck if you stitched together 12 different APIs and SDKs from 7 different vendors. Over half of the companies I consult for run on Microsoft software and have access to Microsoft Foundry. Microsoft Foundry is a complete agentic ecosystem. If you're in that world and building AI applications, Microsoft Foundry is where everything lives: • Models (largest selection in the market) • Agentic SDK (Python, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript) • Tools • Evaluations • Monitoring They are fully integrated with GitHub and Visual Studio Code. The best part: Their agentic platform is fully agnostic of the models you use. You can integrate with any model using the same OpenAI-style API. Swapping one model for another takes 1 second.

50% of my consulting work right now is helping companies use open-source models at scale. Everyone knows how to use an open-source LLM on their computers, but it's really hard to do this at scale for thousands of users. Here is how this plays out: 1. A team builds a prototype using DeepSeek. 2. Everything looks good. It works! 3. They follow an online guide to deploy the model online. 4. They ask 10 users to try the app. 5. Latency spikes everywhere. 6. The entire system halts. 7. They blame DeepSeek and try again using a new model. The problem is always with scaling inference, not the model. Here is one recommendation I give companies: Check out Nebius Token Factory if you don't want to ever think about deploying an open-source model again. This is a managed inference platform for deploying open-source LLMs at scale. This is not for prototypes or research experiments. This is for when you have a real application with real users. Three important notes about Token Factory: • You have complete control over how inference runs. • You have predictable tail latency (P99, not averages). • No surprise costs when you scale up. You can preplan your budget. Check it out here: Here are two codes you can use to get 100 hours of GPU usage on me: ymJLFa2ARYSKEdqb AdckcZaYjm7KqYY7 Thanks to the Nebius team for their continuous partnership.

New short course: Prompt Engineering with Llama 2, built in collaboration with Meta AI at Meta, and taught by Amit Sangani! Meta's Llama 2 has been game-changing for AI. Building with open source lets you control your own data, scrutinize errors, update (or not) the models as you please, and work alongside the global community advancing open models. Llama isn't a single model, it's a collection of models. In this course, you'll: - Learn the differences between different Llama 2 flavors, and when to use each. - Prompt the Llama chat models -- you'll also see how Llama's instruction tags work -- so they can help you with day-to-day tasks, like writing or summarization. - Use advanced prompting, like few-shot prompting for classification, and chain-of-thought prompting for solving logic problems. - Use specialized models in the Llama collection for specific tasks, like Code Llama to help you write, analyze, and improve code, and Llama Guard, which checks prompts and model responses for harmful content. The course also touches on how to run Llama 2 locally on your own computer. I hope you’ll take this course and try out these powerful, open models!

How can you solve complex tasks using a Large Language Model? Here is a 2-minute introduction to everything you need to know to 10x the quality of your results. Let's talk about three techniques, in order of complexity, starting with the easiest one: • In-Context Learning • Indexing + In-Context Learning • Fine-tuning In-Context Learning The team that trained GPT-3 found something they couldn't explain: You can condition a model using examples of how you want it to behave. I included an example prompt in the attached video. You can "teach" the model how you want it to interpret questions, select the correct answers, and format the results by giving a few examples. You can also give specific knowledge to the model that will be helpful when formulating answers. We call this approach "grounding the model." There's another example in the video. Indexing + In-Context Learning Unfortunately, there is a limit to how much data you can include in a prompt. We call this the "context size." One version of GPT-4 supports a context of approximately 6,000 words, while the other supports 25,000 words. Although this sounds like a lot, many applications need more than that. Imagine you wrote a book and want to build an application to answer any questions about your story. What happens if your book is longer than the context? That's where Indexing comes in. Using a model, you can turn every book passage into an embedding. These are vectors, numbers that "encode" the passage's text. You can then store these embeddings in a particular database that supports fast retrieval of these vectors. You can then turn any question into an embedding and search the database for the list of passages that are similar to that query. Instead of using the entire book to ask the model, you can now use the relevant passages as in-context information, effectively working around the context size limitation. Fine-tuning Fine-tuning can give you an extra boost to get reliable outputs from your LLM. It is, however, the most complex approach on the list. There are different approaches to fine-tuning a model with your data. A popular technique is to process your data with your LLM and use the outputs to train a new classifier that solves your specific task. Notice that here you aren't modifying the LLM. Instead, you are chaining it with your trained classifier. Another approach is to modify the parameters of the LLM using your data. Think of this as "rewiring" the model in a way that solves your particular task. The results and costs will vary depending on how many layers you want to fine-tune from the original model. Many companies think that fine-tuning is the solution to their problems. In my experience, many will benefit from exploring the other two approaches. I love explaining Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence ideas. If you enjoy in-depth content like this, follow me Santiago so you don't miss what comes next.

Imagine you wrote a book and want to build an application to answer any questions about your story. What happens if your book is longer than the context? That's where Indexing comes in. Using a model, you can turn every book passage into an embedding. These are vectors, numbers that "encode" the passage's text. You can then store these embeddings in a particular database that supports fast retrieval of these vectors. You can then turn any question into an embedding and search the database for the list of passages that are similar to that query. Instead of using the entire book to ask the model, you can now use the relevant passages as in-context information, effectively working around the context size limitation. Fine-tuning Fine-tuning can give you an extra boost to get reliable outputs from your LLM. It is, however, the most complex approach on the list. There are different approaches to fine-tuning a model with your data. A popular technique is to process your data with your LLM and use the outputs to train a new classifier that solves your specific task. Notice that here you aren't modifying the LLM. Instead, you are chaining it with your trained classifier. Another approach is to modify the parameters of the LLM using your data. Think of this as "rewiring" the model in a way that solves your particular task. The results and costs will vary depending on how many layers you want to fine-tune from the original model. Many companies think that fine-tuning is the solution to their problems. In my experience, many will benefit from exploring the other two approaches. I love explaining Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence ideas. If you enjoy in-depth content like this, follow me Santiago so you don't miss what comes next.

"Introducing Multimodal Llama 3.2": As promised two weeks ago, here's the short course on Meta's latest open model! This short course is created with Meta and taught by Amit Sangani, Director of AI Partner Engineering at Meta. Meta’s Llama family of models is leading the way in open models, allowing anyone to download, customize, fine-tune, or build new applications on top of them. Learn about the vision capabilities of the Llama 3.2, and use it for image classification, prompting, tokenization, tool-calling. You'll also learn about the open-source Llama stack, which gives building blocks for many different stages of the LLM application life cycle. In detail, you’ll: - Learn what are the features of Meta's four newest models, and when to use which Llama model. - Learn best practices for multimodal prompting, with applications to advanced image reasoning, illustrated by many examples: Understanding errors on a car dashboard, adding up the total of photographed restaurant receipts, grading written math homework. - Use different roles—system, user, assistant, ipython—in the Llama 3.1 and 3.2 models and the prompt format that identifies those roles. - Understand how Llama uses the tiktoken tokenizer, and how it has expanded to a 128k vocabulary size that improves encoding efficiency and multilingual support. - Learn how to prompt Llama to call built-in and custom tools (functions) with examples for web search and solving math equations. - Learn about Llama Stack, a standardized interface for common toolchain components like fine-tuning or synthetic data generation, useful for building agentic applications. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to build out new applications with the new Llama 3.2. Thank you to Ahmad Al-Dahle, Amit Sangani, and the whole AI at Meta team AI at Meta for all the hard work on Llama 3.2 — we’re excited to make these open models even more accessible to more developers with this new course!

This is a pretty wild model! You can use it to turn an image into a 3D object with texture. The quality is out of this world! I'm not even a designer, and I've been using this nonstop for the last 2 hours. The model is Hunyuan 3D 2.1. It's open source. You'll find model weights, training/inference code, data pipelines, and architecture on their repository. You can even fine-tune it if you want! GitHub Repository: By the way, the model runs on consumer-grade GPUs. You don't need a datacenter for this! I've been using the model from the HuggingFace demo page: To use it, go to the link and upload an image. That's it! Check out the video I recorded for a couple of examples.

This is next-level smart: An open-source platform that evaluates your prompts and automatically refines them based on the results. Of course, it feels obvious after you see it: • You write a prompt • The system evaluates it across different scenarios • Based on the results, it refines it to improve results I recorded a quick video to show you how it works. It's pretty cool stuff! Here are some of the problems and best practices for teams building AI applications: 1. Testing your prompts manually doesn't scale 2. Prompts should not be spread throughout the codebase 3. Non-technical people need easy access to your prompts 4. Prompts can always use a version history to track changes 5. Monitoring the performance of prompts overtime is critical Evaluating the prompts is what keeps me up at night from this list. Of all the conversations I've had with companies and people building AI applications, this is the area that's causing the most pain. Testing a prompt is difficult. Think about how you'd test the response of a model subjectively. What do you account for, "tone," "objectivity," "completeness," "creativity," "readability," etc.? Last week, I met the developers behind Latitude, an open-source prompt engineering platform trying to solve all of these issues. You can try the platform in two ways: • You can self-host the platform. Free and open-source. • If you want to try their online product, their free tier is huge. Here is the link: Thanks to the Latitude team for collaborating with me on this post, and congratulations on going live with their product!

Forget about HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. You can build AI and data applications using Python alone! Python is the best programming language out there. You can now use it across the stack. Take a look at Taipy, an open-source Python library to build end-to-end production applications. Star their repository: I recorded a quick video showing how to build a simple chat interface to talk to OpenAI GPT-3.5 using Taipy alone. Something important to keep in mind: Taipy's goal is not to replace web developers but to provide an alternative to those who need to build applications without web experience. If you are a data scientist or someone dealing with data, Taipy will simplify your life considerably. Thanks to the team behind Taipy for collaborating with me on this post. Here is a link to the full demo. Download this code and run it. It takes 30 seconds:

Imagine an AI application that can type anywhere you can and use the full context of what's on your screen. This is the application we all deserve (at least if you have macOS.) Check out Omnipilot. It's an app that works with every other macOS application and uses Claude Sonet 3.5 in the background—it also supports Gemini and GPT-4o. Here is the idea: You can use the tool to ask questions about anything on your screen. Or you can use it to autocomplete the text you are typing. You don't need to copy and paste anymore or waste your time providing context to a model. It sees what you see. It works right where you are. That's pretty cool. Here are a couple of cool examples: • Use it to reply to an email • Use it in the terminal to autocomplete a command • Use it to finish a document • Use to send a message on Slack AI at the system level is bonkers. You can read a ton more on their Product Hunt launch page: Thanks to the Omnipilot team for collaborating with me on this post!
