Learn more about AI and how to better leverage it. This podcast aims to share exciting discussions with AI experts to demystify what they do and what they work on. We will cover specific AI-related topics (e.g., ChatGPT, DALLE...) and different roles related to artificial intelligence to share knowledge from the people who worked hard to gather it. I also want to showcase these people's unique paths to get where they are as AI builders, experts, and users. From building to leveraging AI technologies.

OpenAI's NEW Fine-Tuning Method Changes EVERYTHING (Reinforcement Fine-Tuning Explained)

Season 2 · Episode 11

Sunday, March 16, 2025 • Duration 13:17

Have you ever wanted to take a language model and make it answer the way you want without needing a mountain of data?

Well, OpenAI’s got something for us: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning, or RFT, and it changes how we customize AI models. Instead of retraining it with feeding examples of what we want and hoping it learns in the classical way, we actually teach it by rewarding correct answers and penalizing wrong ones, just like training a dog — but, you know, with fewer treats and more math.

Let’s break down reinforcement fine-tuning compared to supervised fine-tuning!

Both essentially have their use that we can discuss in one line:

Supervised fine-tuning teaches new things the model does not know yet, like a new language, which is powerful for small and less “intelligent” models.
While reinforcement fine-tuning orients the current model to what we really want it to say. It basically “aligns” the model to our needs, but we need an already powerful model. This is why reasoning models are a perfect fit.

I’ve already covered fine-tuning on the channel if you are interested in that. Today, let’s get into how RFT actually works!

Use Long Context or RAG?

Season 2 · Episode 2

Friday, January 10, 2025 • Duration 06:46

In this one, I discuss the dilemma between using retrieval-based generation and the newer "long context models".

Long context models, like the Gemini suite of models, allow us to send up to millions of tokens (thousands of text pages), whereas retrieval (RAG)-based systems allow us to search through as much (if not more) content and retrieve only the necessary bits to send the LLM for improved answers.

Both have advantages and disadvantages. This short episode will help you better understand when to use each.
