When General Purpose Models Fail, Fine-Tune with Open Source
Join Upstage AI and Predibase with MindsDB for a panel discussion on the latest thought-leading development in AI: domain-specific and task-specific models outperforming general-purpose ones.
As AI advances, it’s becoming clear that enterprises need fine-tuned models tailored to their exact challenges, trained on their unique data. Our experts will explore how general-purpose models often fall short when faced with specialized tasks, and why fine-tuning with open-source tools is key to solving the specific problems enterprises face. Discover how this shift is shaping the future of AI, driving better results and outcomes for businesses.

About Upstage AI
Upstage is a leading, fast-growing AI company specializing in delivering state-of-the-art, pre-trained and fine-tuned LLMs for enterprises.
Upstage's flagship Solar LLM has earned acclaim for its lightning-fast performance and unparalleled cost-efficiency, powered by its unique Depth-Up Scaling (DUS) technique. The model has already delivered use cases across leading enterprises in many industrial domains. Available via on-premises as well as API integration through platforms like Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, Solar provides a versatile and accessible alternative to larger, more resource-intensive models developed by tech giants.
The company has also made significant inroads with its Document AI solution, powered by top-of-the-line OCR technology. This solution has found strong demand in high-growth industries like finance and healthcare, with clients like Samsung.
Their open source models can be found on HuggingFace.

About Predibase
Predibase is the leading developer platform for fine-tuning and serving LLMs. Built from the ground up to be fast, reliable, and cost-effective, Predibase has built a best-in-class fine-tuning experience. Predibase manages the compute resources required for fine-tuning so teams don’t need to worry about out of memory (OOM) errors and can trust that the right serverless GPU hardware will be used for the job.
Predibase also offers inference with low latency (0.20 seconds to first token) and lightning fast throughput (200 tokens per second). Plus, teams can serve hundreds of fine-tuned LLMs from a single GPU–whether it’s a high-end A100 or H100 or a commodity A10G–with LoRA eXchange (LoRAX), the open-source serving framework developed by Predibase, making Predibase one of the most cost-effective platforms for serving fine-tuned LLMs.
