Developers can now fine-tune GPT-3 on their own data, creating a custom version tailored to their application. Customizing makes GPT-3 reliable for a wider variety of use cases and makes running the model cheaper and faster.
You can use an existing dataset of virtually any shape and size, or incrementally add data based on user feedback. With fine-tuning, one API customer was able to increase correct outputs from 83% to 95%. By adding new data from their product each week, another reduced error rates by 50%.
Adding Symphora, my WordPress blog, to the #fediverse via ActivityPub (Take 2)
Second try. Probably need to be subscribed first, then post.
Why just join a Mastodon instance if I can turn my entire blog in to a node in the federated social network space? This is the first post that attempts this feat. If it works I’ll write up what I did to make it work. In the meantime you can follow these antics and more by following elmer@www.symphora.com and @emasters.
See you on the other side!

Yum, ribs!

Sometimes after you prep and they spend the night in the fridge you just don’t feel like firing up the smoker. That’s why we have ovens. Not as smokey but just as tasty.

The prompt says “Start writing” so, sure, I’ll just start writing. I’m on my phone at the moment so writing is me like swiping but it does have a certain cursive feel to it once you get going. Of course proof reading to avoid bad autocorrect is essential. It also helps to have something to say and that’s a bit subjective I think.
