GPT model training

 

  • Require extensive data
  • Trained on huge amount of data
  • Typically from public sources
  • Learns general tasks like summarization
  • Result: a pre-trained model

GPT model fine-tuning

 

  • Fine-tuned on specialized data
  • General summarization -> summarizing technical documentation

 

  • Businesses carefully define this data keeping security and privacy in mind
