    HyDE is the way to go! Just ask the model to generate a bunch of hypothetical answers to the question in different formats and do similarity on those. Or even better, as the OP sug…

    Great post! I've been looking to get into the guts of large scale model training (I'm half-way between the design and application layer of LLMs, mostly in python, sometimes a bit o…
