NVIDIA unveiled NeMo SteerLM, which gives developers a type of AI-powered steering wheel to drive powerful large language models (LLMs) in the ways they want. With SteerLM, users define all the attributes they want and embed them in a single model. Then, they can choose the combination they need for a given use case while the model is running.
Unlike current methods for customizing an LLM, it lets a single training run create one model that can serve dozens or even hundreds of use cases, saving time and money. For example, a custom model can now be tuned during inference to the unique needs of, say, an accounting, sales, or engineering department or a vertical market. The method also enables a continuous improvement cycle. Responses from a custom model can serve as data for a future training run that dials the model into new levels of usefulness.
TDengine announced the release of new connectors to support OPC-UA, OPC-DA, and MQTT protocols. These connectors deliver a zero-code solution to easily ingest Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data into the TDengine platform. The release of the OPC and MQTT connectors, in addition to the PI Connector released last year, enhances TDengine’s ability to work with industrial data. Enterprises can consolidate data across multiple sites into a high-performance time-series database optimized for industrial workloads in only a few minutes with the on-premises TDengine Enterprise or fully managed TDengine Cloud solutions.
