How LLMs are changing software development
Large Language Models have proven to have extraordinary capabilities: from natural language tasks (summarization, named entity recognition, classification) to text generation, from common-sense reasoning to brainstorming skills.However, LLMs are not just incredible by themselves. Large Language Models and, generally speaking, Large Foundation Models (LFMs) are revolutionizing software development by serving as platforms for building powerful applications. In fact, as we saw in chapter 1, the paradigm shift Now the story is different. Instead of starting from scratch, developers can make API calls to a hosted version of an LLM, with the option of customizing it for their specific needs as we saw in the previous chapter. This shift allows teams to incorporate the power of AI more easily and efficiently into their applications, similar to the transition from single-purpose computing to time-sharing in the past. But how does it mean, in concrete...
