Nice write up Sebastian, looking forward to the book. There are lots of details on the LLM and how it’s composed, would be great if you can expand on how Llama and OpenAI could be cleaning and structuring their training data given it seems this is where the battle is heading in the long run.

  how Llama and OpenAI could be cleaning and structuring their training data

If you're interested in this, there are several sections in the Llama paper you will likely enjoy:

But isn't it the beauty of llm's that they need comparably little preparation (unstructured text as input) and pick the features on their own so to say?

edit: grammar

[aDyslecticCrow]

Yes, if you want an LLM that doesn't listen to instructions and just endlessly babbles about anything and everything.

What turned GPT into chatGPT was a lot of structured training with human feedback.

[rahimnathwani]

Exactly. Section 4.3.7 briefly explains how they trained the model to better follow instructions ('steerability').

Yes. Would love to read that.
