To get the most out of LLMs, you need three key elements working together:

  1. Context: Define the problem or task clearly. For example, if you’re using an LLM for customer support, train it on FAQs and common customer questions.
  2. Knowledge: LLMs thrive on high-quality data. The better the data they’re trained on, the more accurate and useful they’ll be. Companies can even add specific knowledge to fine-tune open-source models.
  3. Tools: Pick the right platform or tool for deploying and managing your LLM. If privacy is a concern, go with an open-source option you can host yourself. If you want ease, try a ready-made service like ChatGPT.

Takeaway Tooltip: Think of LLMs as cars—context is the driver, knowledge is the fuel, and tools are the dashboard!
