Session

RAG vs AI model tuning vs long context window and when to use each

Room 2 (16:00 ~ 16:45)

We will go through several topics during the presentation. Most of the topics will be discussed on a high level with some code samples. I will share my experience working with some cases using model training, tests and POC with a long context window and RAG.

Here are the main subjects covered in the talk:

* Introduction and basics about foundation LLMs

* Fine tuning for foundation LLMs

* Long context window, tokens and difference between structured and non-structured information

* RAG workflow, difference in performance and comparison with long context window

* Mixed approach including different techniques

This presentation is designed for both newcomers to AI and those with experience in AI projects or applications.
