Foundation Models

• Foundation models are large-scale, pre-trained models that can be adapted to a wide range of downstream tasks. They are trained on massive datasets of text and code and can be used for a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as text generation, summarization, and question answering.

Key Concepts

• Transfer Learning: The process of adapting a pre-trained model to a new task.
• Fine-tuning: The process of further training a pre-trained model on a smaller, task-specific dataset.
• Prompt Engineering: The process of designing prompts to elicit the desired output from a language model.
