We have open positions for putting LLMs to use (won't link, not a work account). Seems difficult to hire people with sufficient knowledge of our niche and of LLMs.
Whether they will continue to grow is hard to say. Putting open models to productive use is difficult. Like stable diffusion can make a pretty image but can it make the image you want? For example, can it make a 2d video game sprite, can it make the same character consistently in different poses.
That's a personal project problem I have but it is the same vibe as LLMs with code. Like they can produce some code, but a more complex algorithm or larger program is tough. I'm not sure if there will be an upper limit on what they can do. Right now it is a lot of engineering to get them to do stuff with no human in the loop.
Not a lot of companies are training models. There are probably a number that are trying to integrate OpenAI's API in some way.
They can do powerful things and it is a good skill to learn, but it feels like the market right now is for PhDs from top schools or low paid data labelers. Maybe others will have different experience.
For resources, check out [1], [2], and [3]. The third being my least favorite, but others like it.

- santiagobasulto 3y agoWhat would be the title of these positions? Something like "Prompt engineer", or more like fine tuning open models?
- carom 3y agoMachine learning engineer. Other titles have AI engineer in them. Roles encompass everything needed to try to get open LLMs to do a specific task, so hosting, evaluation, prompt tweaks, writing harnesses. We do some data generation and fine tuning but it is less common.
- yieldcrv 3y agoPrompt engineering was novel 15 months ago lol you can’t still be on that a high schooler or another LLM can do that
- qmsoqm 3y agoThank you for your valuable insights. I am currently working towards becoming an AI engineer in the LLM field and appreciate the insider's perspective. Could you provide more information about the knowledge and experience your company seeks for that position? You mentioned it's challenging to find individuals with certain skills. Could you elaborate on what those skills are?
