Love it


I think that will be very possible soon! We continue to write about it publicly :) Also thanks to my friends and colleagues who write a lot on this subject that I frequently collaborate with:

- Shreya Shankar https://www.sh-reya.com/ - Eugene Yan https://eugeneyan.com/ - Bryan Bischof https://bio.site/Docdonut


Appreciate it, Simon! I have now edited my post to include links to "intro to evals" for those not familiar.


Hamel here. Thanks so much for asking this question! I will work on adding it to the FAQ. Please keep these coming!


This is Hamel. Thanks for sharing! I will incorporate these into the FAQ. I love getting additional questions like this.


Really good article. I was discussing this with Shreya (the author), and an interesting insight was that prompting a LLM to follow these instructions do not work reliably.

I’ve had similar frustrations. Maybe the next thing to try is fine tuning? Curious what others think.


Doug is the OG of search. His book "Relevant Search" is great. Glad to see that he is teaching again.


Great post as usual


I am a python developer who has been envious of modern application dev frameworks & typescript, but never had the time to invest in another stack. This is so exciting. I suspect this might be catalyst that empowers more people to ship stuff


Take a look at streamlit as well. It’s got a few weird sharp edges but is really easy to pick up


I like streamlit but found it if gets beyond a certain size it gets very hard to manage.

Also, because FastHTML is powered by starlette, it handles async really well. That means web sockets have been a trivial implementation.


Hi I'm Hamel, author of this blog post. A few months ago, I hosted a course on applied-llms that went viral https://maven.com/parlance-labs/fine-tuning and became a conference organically with 30+ speakers.

I thought it would be tragedy if this material were perpetually locked behind a paywall, so I worked hard to curate all the talks and make it freely available to everyone. I hope it is beneficial to everyone.


Hi Hamel, thanks for releasing this. Slightly OT, but do you have any advice for someone who wants to work on/with LLMs at a tech company? How can a fullstack engineer transition to work on LLMs? How do I get the attention of some of the good tech companies since they usually want some ML related roles on the resume? What sort of projects can I work on? Maybe blogging about my learning might help? I know this is a very generic question, but any advice from someone like you would be great!


I have been eyeing your course for a while now. This is fantastic! Thank you so much!


Amazing contribution Hamel, thanks for sharing. I though it was behind a paywall as you said, very glad you decided to open it. Looking forward to start with this course.
