It is crucial yet tedious task to compare outputs from multiple LLMs for selecting a model that is tailored to your specific need. A model that maximize performance, minimize biases, and optimize costs. It can be tricky to choose between open-source models like Llama, Granite, and Mistral. To facilitate this process, Senior GenAI Engineer at IBM, Bhavishya Pandit, has authored this tutorial to provide solutions for a systematic evaluation and the code necessary to compare various LLMs, highlighting the benefits of efficient model selection and optimized workflows: https://ibm.co/4hs2seM #AI #LLM #OpenSource

Large Language Models (LLMs) have immense potential, but they come with challenges like the need for high-quality training data, specialized skills, and extensive computing resources. Forking and retraining these models can be time-consuming and costly. That’s where InstructLab steps in! In this tutorial, CSM Solutions Architect at IBM, Ahmed Azraq explains how to accomplish the same goal of fine-tuning open-source LLMs using InstructLab UI: https://ibm.co/4fmmR2V The InstructLab User Interface (UI) allows you to easily contribute knowledge or skills to the InstructLab taxonomy repository without worrying about YAML structure, the different validation rules, or the GitHub pull request (PR) process.

Explore this tutorial that explains the use of two approaches for migrating a NIM server to the latest AIX release using the virtual media library and the alt_disk_mksysb command. Based on the NIM resources and the infrastructure, you can choose any of the methods for migrating your NIM server. By following these procedures, you can smoothly migrate your NIM server while minimizing risks to your environment: https://ibm.co/4fmnVDP
