The Power Era in AI and LLMs
Data and model training are at the heart of the competition with large language models (LLMs). But a compelling narrative is unfolding, one that could very well redefine our approach to crafting artificial intelligence (AI) solutions tailored to specialized domains like finance and medicine.
The protagonists of our story? The generically trained, such as GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus, are now being benchmarked against the "age-old" practice of fine-tuning models for domain-specific tasks.
The financial sector, with its intricate jargon and nuanced operations, serves as the perfect arena for this showdown. Traditionally, the path to excellence in financial text analytics involved fine-tuning models with domain-specific data, a method akin to giving a neural network a crash course in finance. However, a study from last year suggests a different story. And with the current rapid progress on "generic" models, this may be very important from performance and financial perspectives.
Imagine, if you will, a world where an AI model not explicitly trained on financial data can navigate the complex labyrinths of financial text analytics, outperforming its fine-tuned counterparts. This isn't a fragment of sci-fi........
