OpenAI recently announced the release of their GPT-3.5 Turbo fine-tuning APIs. At Scale we have always believed that building custom LLMs through fine-tuning is the key to unlocking greater performance for any given organization’s specific use case. OpenAI also named Scale as their preferred enterprise fine-tuning partner for GPT-3.5, and we have already shown early progress for the power of fine-tuning GPT-3.5 for customers like Brex. While the pre-trained GPT-3.5 model can often solve tasks with prompt engineering, the model becomes even more powerful when fine-tuned, in some cases surpassing GPT-4 in performance. Let’s walk you through how to fine-tune GPT-3.5 in this blog post.

How To Reduce Cold Start Times For LLM Inference

At Scale, we host a diverse set of deep learning models for both internal and external users. The recent boom of large language models (LLMs) brought a set of new technical challenges and pod cold start is one of the most important. By reducing cold start time, we were able to reduce cost while maintaining a stable latency SLA. We’d like to share our learnings on why cold start is an important problem and how we reduced the cold start time of LLMs with LLM Engine.
