Driving Value From LLMs - The Winning Formula
August 13, 2024
I have observed a pattern in the recent evolution of LLM-based applications that appears to be a winning formula. The pattern combines the best of multiple approaches and technologies. It provides value to users and is an effective way to get accurate results with contextual narratives - all from a single prompt. The pattern also takes advantage of the capabilities of LLMs beyond content generation, with a heavy dose of interpretation and summarization.

Given the constraints, how we choose to optimize our effort toward meeting our goals has a huge impact on the actions we take and the outcomes we achieve.

AI & Data Science Predictions For 2024
January 09, 2024
What’s coming up in the world of AI and data science in 2024? I’ll provide my thoughts here. I haven’t done a blog with predictions for a number of years, so I thought I’d give it a go and see if people find it valuable or not. These are just my opinions, and at least one is a bit risky, but hopefully these thoughts will either reinforce your own or spur some new ones.

Why Prompt Engineering Won't Be A Thing
December 12, 2023
The concept of a prompt engineering career has received attention with the explosion of generative AI tools and platforms. A prompt engineer is effectively a “prompt whisperer” who knows the ins and outs of creating prompts that will be effective in getting AI to return results that match the need.
