LLMs Are Not Black Magic At All • Preben Thorø • GOTO 2024

This presentation was recorded at Trifork's Code Evolution 2024. https://trifork.info/code-evolution-2024 Peben Thorø - CTO of Trifork Switzerland RESOURCES https://www.edureka.co/blog/ai-vs-machine-learning-vs-deep-learning https://www.verywellmind.com https://themaninblue.com https://datahacker.rs ABSTRACT The human brain is a 20 w computer running at a clock frequency of 0.0000002 GHz. We are struggling hard to mimic it with AI running on state-of-the-art hardware in the largest data centers you can imagine. In just 30 minutes I will explain what AI with neural networks really is, how it works, and why the LLMs and generative AI solutions which have recently overwhelmed us are not black magic at all.
