Snowflake Cortex AI
Snowflake Cortex AI is a fully managed, serverless platform that enables organizations to analyze unstructured data and build generative AI applications within the Snowflake ecosystem. It offers access to industry-leading large language models (LLMs) such as Meta's Llama 3 and 4, Mistral, and Reka-Core, facilitating tasks like text summarization, sentiment analysis, translation, and question answering. Cortex AI supports Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and text-to-SQL functionalities, allowing users to query structured and unstructured data seamlessly. Key features include Cortex Analyst, which enables business users to interact with data using natural language; Cortex Search, a hybrid vector and keyword search engine for document retrieval; and Cortex Fine-Tuning, which allows customization of LLMs for specific use cases.

Lens
Lens is Moondream’s official fine-tuning service, designed to turn a general vision-language model into a highly specialized system tailored to a specific task. It provides a simple, structured workflow where users start by collecting a small dataset of images relevant to their use case, then fine-tune the model through an API using techniques such as supervised fine-tuning (SFT) or reinforcement learning, and finally deploy the customized model either through the cloud or locally with Photon. It is built around the idea that Moondream begins as a general model trained on broad, public data, and fine-tuning adapts it to understand the exact products, documents, categories, or internal information that matter to a business, significantly improving accuracy and reliability for that domain. Lens is designed for production scenarios where performance matters, enabling teams to achieve large gains in accuracy with minimal data by teaching the model to master a defined task.

Entry Point AI
Entry Point AI is the modern AI optimization platform for proprietary and open source language models. Manage prompts, fine-tunes, and evals all in one place. When you reach the limits of prompt engineering, it’s time to fine-tune a model, and we make it easy. Fine-tuning is showing a model how to behave, not telling. It works together with prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to leverage the full potential of AI models. Fine-tuning can help you to get better quality from your prompts. Think of it like an upgrade to few-shot learning that bakes the examples into the model itself. For simpler tasks, you can train a lighter model to perform at or above the level of a higher-quality model, greatly reducing latency and cost. Train your model not to respond in certain ways to users, for safety, to protect your brand, and to get the formatting right. Cover edge cases and steer model behavior by adding examples to your dataset.

StableVicuna
StableVicuna is the first large-scale open source chatbot trained via reinforced learning from human feedback (RHLF). StableVicuna is a further instruction fine tuned and RLHF trained version of Vicuna v0 13b, which is an instruction fine tuned LLaMA 13b model.
In order to achieve StableVicuna’s strong performance, we utilize Vicuna as the base model and follow the typical three-stage RLHF pipeline outlined by Steinnon et al. and Ouyang et al. Concretely, we further train the base Vicuna model with supervised finetuning (SFT) using a mixture of three datasets:
OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset (OASST1), a human-generated, human-annotated assistant-style conversation corpus comprising 161,443 messages distributed across 66,497 conversation trees, in 35 different languages;
GPT4All Prompt Generations, a dataset of 437,605 prompts and responses generated by GPT-3.5 Turbo;
And Alpaca, a dataset of 52,000 instructions and demonstrations generated by OpenAI's text-davinci-003.
