In this lesson, we are going to talk about the question do it yourself or hire an external professional.
When we are talking about the LM applications.
Because this is something we get often from students.
Uh, so, um, they ask us, they ask ourselves, uh, do you recommend me to build an LM application
myself or to hire a professional?
So it is very important that from right now, you understand that building an LM application, uh,
is going to require, uh, to solve some complex issues and tasks.
So things like cost, things like security, things like a latency or speed, things like, uh, testing
things like hallucinations, things like a.
The difficulty of evaluation, etc..
Right.
So you are going to see that building a professional MLM application is a serious task.
You have three alternatives.
You can learn to do it yourself and you will.
You can hire an external professional or you can decide for a combination of both.
And this is the approach we, uh, recommend more often to our students, at least in the initial stages
of the introduction of artificial intelligence in their company.
So what we recommend is that the student take the lead, uh, with the introduction of artificial intelligence
in his or her company.
And in the initial project, uh, we recommend to use the help of a technical consulting firm or a technical
consultant.
Uh, we do that ourselves.
We have a technical consulting, uh, area in our, in our company so we can help the, the student
or the recent graduate in the introduction of MLM application in his company.
So what we usually do is we work in the first project with them.
We work in the second project with them.
They are uh, they are taking an active role in the project, but they feel more comfortable and more
secure with the help of, uh, an experienced, uh, consulting firm.
And then once they have the the enough experience, they start flying by themselves.
And we can help them in other capacities, like in innovation or maintenance or, you know, some special
projects or with the the training or the education of the team or whatever.
But our each case is different.
But usually our advice is start with a combination of, uh, a learning and hiring expert, uh, help.
Okay.
Because as you will see, to build an a professional LLM application has a lot of component, uh, components,
a lot of important things that you should, uh, solve, uh, properly and probably in your first experience.
Second experience, even third experience, you want to have the help of an expert, uh, consulting
firm with you.
Okay.
So this is a situation we find often, and this is the way we respond.
In the next lesson, we are going to start talking about this long way from the toy demo to the professional
application.
And this is the main goal of this second part of the program, going from the toy demo to the professional
application and helping you to realize all the different steps you need to cover in this in this way.
