#33> Aside from the minuscule context length, it also lacks the instruction tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) that turn a large language model into a chatbot.
Is RLHF even strictly necessary?
Re: Spreadsheets are all you need
#34Brilliant idea/URL. It’s often true though. So many things I think “I could make an app for that” I wind up just using a spreadsheet for. At least it helps me explore the use cases more deeply for when I’d want to actually take it to the next level. I hung out with a friend while they solved Advent of Code challenges in Excel, that was a trip to watch.

That sounds wild. Do you or your friend have anything to share about this?

One of my biggest weakness as a developer is that I can barely use excel. It's really embarrassing, especially since I've moved to a financial firm.
Do you have any recommendations for becoming semi competent with it?

#37Creator here. Thanks for posting this! Happy to answer questions or take suggestions and hope it helps folks better understand LLMs. Next video will be on embeddings and hopefully done soon-ish.
We need more people like you. Thank you.

#38Breakout inside Google Calendar, an LLM inside Excel... What's next, a VR environment using Slack?

Thank you so much for doing these videos, I learned a lot today. You have a talent for teaching! If you don't mind me asking, what is your background?

Strictly necessary? Maybe not. I wrote that before URIAL [1][2]. I actually haven't tried URIAL in GPT2 small but I need to give it a whirl. Might be too small a model to work?
Even if URIAL works with GPT2 small, the really small context length in the Excel file as currently implemented will make it hard to leverage. I've considered a more flexible implementation to support a longer context length (e.g. using Macros to build the layout of the sheet) but have prioritized the teaching videos first.
