Case study: ChatGPT

Definição

ChatGPT é uma família de modelos conversacionais LLMs da OpenAI. Eles são treinados com fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to follow instructions and converse safely.

Eles ilustram o stack completo de LLM stack: pretrained base model, ajuste de instruções, and RL-based alignment (RLHF). The same ideas (ajuste de instruções, preference optimization) appear in open and other proprietary models. Use case: chat, prompt-driven tasks, and agent-like workflows with tools.

Como funciona

Parte de um modelo base (por ex. GPT-4): um transformer apenas decodificador pré-treinado em previsão do próximo tokenction. Instruction tuning: fine-tune on (instruction, response) pairs so the model follows user intent. RLHF: train a reward model on human preference data (which of two responses is better); then optimize the policy (the LLM) with reinforcement learning (por ex. PPO) to maximize the reward. O resultado é um model that is helpful, follows instructions, and is less likely to produce harmful or off-policy content. Safety and guardrails (content filters, refusals, monitoring) are applied in the product. Prompt engineering and RAG or agents extend the system for specific use cases.

Casos de uso
