Supervisor and Systems Analyst

Conducted extensive research on various generative AI models. This included models such as ChatGPT, Stability AI, LLAMA2, and LLAMA3. My work primarily focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of these models, their strengths, and their limitations.In addition to this, I also explored self-hosted solutions for these AI models. This involved setting up the models in a local environment and studying their performance and scalability.One of the key aspects of my internship was a comparative study of all these models. I analyzed each model in terms of its efficiency, accuracy, and applicability to different use-cases. This comparative study allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape of generative AI models.Overall, this internship provided me with a deep insight into the field of generative AI and equipped me with the skills to evaluate and work with various AI models.
