You Ask, I Answer: Future of Retrieval Augmented Generation AI?
In today’s episode, Jesper asks if news outlets blocking AI scrapers will impact retrieval augmented generation models. I explain that blocked scrapers won’t matter since public data is aggregated elsewhere, though news outlets have valid concerns about uncompensated use. I compare fine-tuning to upgrading appliances versus retrieval augmented generation to adding ingredients, noting RAG’s strength…

You Ask, I Answer: Open Weights, Open Source, and Custom GPT Models?
In today’s episode, Joseph asks if it’s possible to create your own custom GPT model using open source tools. I explain the difference between open models and truly open source models, noting that true open source would require exposing the training data. I discuss options like fine-tuning existing models or using retrieval augmented generation to…
