After one year of implementing AI features for various businesses, I share my perspective on the mistakes I see companies making with LLMs, but also which strategy to adopt.
2023 has been the year of massive achievement in artificial intelligence, especially in Natural Language Processing with Large Language Models (LLMs).
With the apparition of Generative AI and the impressive performance that came with it, most companies revised their strategy to get AI in their product.

I then explain the reality behind an LLM, how it works, and what it takes to develop AI features.
I finally propose my vision of the right strategy to adopt to make the transition to AI a success.

I started being involved in LLMs back in January 2023.
