Models as Tools: My Perspective On the Matter

You can look at GenAI from many perspectives. For me perspective shifts when I'm building products, to when I'm training foundation models, to being a day to day user of GenAI. However, most people aren't doing all these things. For the audience here I suggest focusing on one practical angle: LLMs as tools. In this talk I'll share how in this perspective LLMs are just any other tool. By starting with this perspective it'll ensure you start from a grounded realistic perspective before moving into the exciting more hype laden aspects of this new technology.
