He then delves into critical evaluations of GPT-4, illuminates practical uses of language models in code writing and data analysis, and offers hands-on tips for working with the OpenAI API. The video also provides expert guidance on technical topics such as fine-tuning, decoding tokens, and running private instances of GPT models.\r\n\r\nAs we move further into the intricacies, Jeremy unpacks advanced strategies for model testing and optimization, utilizing tools like GPTQ and Hugging Face Transformers. He also explores the potential of specialized datasets like Orca and Platypus for fine-tuning and discusses cutting-edge trends in Retrieval Augmented Generation and information retrieval. Whether you're new to the field or an established professional, this presentation offers a wealth of insights to help you navigate the ever-evolving world of language models.\r\n\r\n(The above summary was, of course, created by an LLM!)\r\n\r\nFor the notebook used in this talk, see https://github.com/fastai/lm-hackers.

Inspired by the BBC's bbplot, our team at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) developed a package on top of ggplot2 to create a common look and feel for our team's products. This effort improved not just the cohesiveness of our work, but also trustworthiness. By creating this package, we reduced the reliance on using defaults and the time spent on each project customizing numerous graphic elements. More importantly, this package provided an easier on-ramp for new teammates to adopt R. We share our journey within a federal agency developing a style guide and aim to guide and inspire other organizations who could benefit from developing their own branding package and guidance.\r\n\r\nMaterials: \r\n- https://speakerdeck.com/achafetz/adding-a-touch-of-glitr\r\n- https://usaid-oha-si.github.io/glitr/\r\n- https://issuu.com/achafetz/docs/oha_styleguide",

This streamlined approach enables our consultants to spend less time copy-pasting data from one channel to another and instead focus on what they do best: surfacing business-relevant insights and recommendations for our partners.\r\n\r\nBy sharing my approach to customizable self-serve reporting in Shiny, I hope attendees will walk away with new ideas about how to combine parameterized reporting and dashboard development to get the best of both worlds.
