Computer Vision Meetup: Lessons Learned fine-tuning Llama2 for Autonomous Agents

In this talk, Rahul Parundekar, Founder of A.I. Hero, Inc. does a deep dive into the practicalities and nuances of making LLMs more effective and efficient. He’ll share hard-earned lessons from the trenches of LLMOps on Kubernetes, covering everything from the critical importance of data quality to the choice of fine-tuning techniques like LoRA and QLoRA. Rahul will share insights into the quirks of fine-tuning LLMs like Llama2, the need for looking beyond loss metrics and benchmarks for model performance, and the pivotal role of iterative improvement through user feedback – all learned through his work on fine-tuning an LLM for retrieval-augmented generation and autonomous agents. Whether you’re a seasoned AI professional or just starting, this talk will equip you with the knowledge of when and why you should fine-tune, to the long-term strategies to push the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs, to building a performant framework on top of Kubernetes for fine-tuning at scale.

Speaker: Rahul Parundekar is the founder of A.I. Hero, Inc., a seasoned engineer, and architect with over 15 years of experience in AI development, focusing on Machine Learning and Large Language Model Operations (MLOps and LLMOps). AI Hero automates mundane enterprise tasks through agents, utilizing a framework for fine-tuning LLMs with both open and closed-source models to enhance agent autonomy.
