Episode 404 - Poor Man's BingChat - Building a Search Assistant from scratch with Vlad Iliescu

Have you seen BingChat's/ChatGPT's ability to reason about current events, even though the underlying models have been trained with data only up to September 2021? Have you wondered how it works behind the scenes, what did they do to make it work?

During this talk Vlad will be talking about the ways to achieve this, including possible options such as fine-tuning and retrieval augmented generation, but also limitations such as models' slow inference times and limited context window sizes. He will demo a an app that can talk about current events, and you will learn how to build your own, from scratch**.

**from scratch = with nothing but Python, pandas, and the Azure OpenAI APIs
