Thanks for summarizing so many awesome papers. My best one was the knowledge distillation with student- teacher model. this is where SLM (Small Language Models) will have its strong use cases. They learn fast and run fast :)

I’m not very in the weeds with LLMs but this post was really helpful to learn about how researchers are thinking of making LLMs even more efficient. Excellent crash course, even for an LLM newbie like me!

Fascinating post, Kartik! I'm interested to see how these LLM integrations will impact recommendation systems in practice as they will move towards wider implementation -- Particularly in how the probabilistic aspects might affect audience targeting accuracy and content personalization.

Rohan yes!! Its very interesting times ahead. Actually they are impacting them even now but just under the hood in lot of the cases :)

This was very insightful. It gives me a lot of inspiration for how I could use LLMs in future technical projects.

By the way, I’m quite interested in the topic of synthetic data generation. Have you played around with it?

Great article and thank you very much for the shoutout!
