Selector AI and the Workings of an LLM
An LLM differs from a function in that it takes output and imputes, or infers, a function and its arguments. We first consider how this process works within Selector for an English phrase converted to a query. We then step through the design of Selector’s LLM, which relies on a base LLM trained with English […]
Solving the Query Problem with Selector AI
Selector translates English phrases to SQL queries through the use of an LLM.
