How Large Language Models Work

Jaden was looking to give feedback to the LLM such that it learns itself. He tried using Knowledge Graphs and providing text-based feedback (but wasn’t happy about the text-based feedback, as it consumes the model’s context space).

This entire conversation always came back to requiring human intervention, software intervention, software/LLM verifiers (who need verifiers of their own, making it an infinite sequence) or consuming the model’s context length to give it clues/rules to always generate the correct answers, if one doesn’t want to re-train or fine-tune the large LLM.
