EARLY RELEASE Quick Start Guide to Large Language Models

The advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has revolutionized the field of Natural Language Processing in recent years. Models like BERT, T5, and ChatGPT have demonstrated unprecedented performance on a wide range of NLP tasks, from text classification to machine translation. Despite their impressive performance, the use of LLMs remains challenging for many practitioners. The sheer size of these models, combined with the lack of understanding of their inner workings, has made it difficult for practitioners to effectively use and optimize these models for their specific needs.
