Newer smaller LLMs like Llama2 and mistral can be finetuned easily and provide more power over prompting. They utilize a new paradigm of fine tuning called parameter efficient finetuning (PEFT). Prompting has shown to have many restrictions and can limit the capabilities of LLMs, with PEFT even smaller models are performing very well.
This talk will introduce the audience to what PEFT is and how one can finetune LLMs to build custom solutions. This talk is really beneficial for audience who want to learn NLP in the LLM era.
