Effective Use of Large Language Models as Assistants
The first session introduces participants to the basics of large language models, emphasizing practical applications such as improving model outputs through Emotional Priming and utilizing AI for brainstorming and summarizing tasks. It features hands-on activities to transform informal vocal transcripts into structured notes, create structured data from unstructured sources, and summarize long documents. The session also highlights the importance of understanding tokens in the inference process and compares market-available and open-source large language models. Practical exercises include modifying system instructions for enhanced problem-solving and generating structured, actionable insights from informal data. Sign Up
