Deployment strategies for LLMs
Choosing the right LLM for your specific application is a decision that can significantly affect the performance and outcomes of your system. Let’s go through some detailed considerations to be taken into account.
Choosing the right model
When choosing the right model for your application, several key factors must be considered to ensure optimal performance and suitability for your specific needs. These factors include the following:
- Model size:
- The size of an LLM, often denoted by the number of parameters it has, can range from millions to hundreds of billions. Larger models tend to have a better understanding of language nuances but are more computationally intensive and expensive to run.
- Smaller models are more efficient and cost-effective but may not perform as well on complex language tasks. The choice of model size should balance the cost of operation against the required linguistic performance.
- Language capabilities:
- LLMs...
