Introducing enhancements to the fine-tuning API and increasing our {custom} fashions program

Assisted High quality-Tuning

At DevDay final November, we announced a Customized Mannequin program designed to coach and optimize fashions for a particular area, in partnership with a devoted group of OpenAI researchers. Since then, we have met with dozens of shoppers to evaluate their {custom} mannequin wants and developed our program to additional maximize efficiency.

Right now, we’re formally saying our assisted fine-tuning providing as a part of the Customized Mannequin program. Assisted fine-tuning is a collaborative effort with our technical groups to leverage methods past the fine-tuning API, similar to further hyperparameters and varied parameter environment friendly fine-tuning (PEFT) strategies at a bigger scale. It’s notably useful for organizations that want assist establishing environment friendly coaching information pipelines, analysis techniques, and bespoke parameters and strategies to maximise mannequin efficiency for his or her use case or process.

For instance, SK Telecom, a telecommunications operator serving over 30 million subscribers in South Korea, needed to customise a mannequin to be an skilled within the telecommunications area with an preliminary give attention to customer support. They labored with OpenAI to fine-tune GPT-4 to enhance its efficiency in telecom-related conversations within the Korean language. Over the course of a number of weeks, SKT and OpenAI drove significant efficiency enchancment in telecom customer support duties—a 35% improve in dialog summarization high quality, a 33% improve in intent recognition accuracy, and a rise in satisfaction scores from 3.6 to 4.5 (out of 5) when evaluating the fine-tuned mannequin to GPT-4. 

Customized-Skilled Mannequin

In some instances, organizations want to coach a purpose-built mannequin from scratch that understands their enterprise, business, or area. Absolutely custom-trained fashions imbue new data from a particular area by modifying key steps of the mannequin coaching course of utilizing novel mid-training and post-training methods. Organizations that see success with a completely custom-trained mannequin usually have massive portions of proprietary information—hundreds of thousands of examples or billions of tokens—that they need to use to show the mannequin new data or complicated, distinctive behaviors for extremely particular use instances. 

For instance, Harvey, an AI-native authorized software for attorneys, partnered with OpenAI to create a custom-trained large language model for case law. Whereas basis fashions had been robust at reasoning, they lacked the intensive data of authorized case historical past and different data required for authorized work. After testing out immediate engineering, RAG, and fine-tuning, Harvey labored with our workforce so as to add the depth of context wanted to the mannequin—the equal of 10 billion tokens price of information. Our workforce modified each step of the mannequin coaching course of, from domain-specific mid-training to customizing post-training processes and incorporating skilled lawyer suggestions. The ensuing mannequin achieved an 83% improve in factual responses and attorneys most popular the personalized mannequin’s outputs 97% of the time over GPT-4.
