LLM Selection: Proprietary vs. Open Weights Models
04:30•Study Material
This lesson provides a critical overview of the current landscape of large language models (LLMs). It explores major proprietary options, including OpenAI's GPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini, detailing their specific multi-modal capabilities and ecosystem integrations. The discussion traces the history of the transformer algorithm back to Google's DeepMind. Furthermore, the lesson dives into the complexities of open weights models, covering issues like hidden training datasets, political biases in regional models, and the current performance limitations and specific use cases of Meta's Llama.
