I got a job where I should develop a product based on LLMs.

Expectation: oh right! I'll be working with state of the art technology! πŸ˜€

Reality: badly documented libraries that are always changing; new libraries becoming obsolete in less than a month; my product ideas were done by somebody else twice before I could finish a POC; getting dizzy trying to keep up with the latest news about LLMs 😡‍πŸ’«

I think I want to do basic old boring stuff again. 😐

    what did you expect? Things are moving so fast maybe a little too fast

    By the way, congratulations on becoming an "LLM Developer/Maintainer". A few years later, your resume would read "Developer with expertise in as many LLMs as you could count"

    But yeah. I understand the comfort the regular development jobs bring us

    What do you do exactly?

    Select a toolset and a model to use and stick to it until you got the POC working. You can then reevaluate the field and change things or not. Also try to use a local model instead of a service so you can freeze the state of the AI between product iterations and don't have to deal with sudden behavior changes.

    @ars1 without giving too much details, the client wants a chatbot that asks several questions and produces a downloadable report at the end.
