19:00 Embeddings - the lesser known Hero of AI - Frank Berger

Embeddings are a model you can use right now and are part of the 'secret sauce' that make LLMs and ChatGPTs so successful in determining what you actually 'mean'. This talk wants to show you what these models do how you can use them on your own data, and some ideas what to do with that power.. in PHP
