Best Practices for Chat Models in AnswerAI​

1. Model Selection​

Choose the appropriate model based on your specific requirements:

  • OpenAI GPT Models: Ideal for general-purpose natural language tasks and creative content generation.
  • Google VertexAI/PaLM: Excellent for multilingual applications and complex reasoning tasks.
  • Anthropic Claude: Great for long-form content and tasks requiring strong ethical considerations.
  • LocalAI: Perfect for on-premise deployments and applications with strict data privacy requirements.
  • Hugging Face Models: Suitable for customized or domain-specific language tasks.

2. Parameter Tuning​

Optimize your chat model's performance by adjusting these common parameters:

  • Temperature: Control the randomness of outputs. Lower values (0.1-0.5) for more focused responses, higher values (0.7-1.0) for more creative outputs.
  • Max Tokens: Limit the length of generated responses to manage costs and ensure concise outputs.
  • Top P / Top K: Fine-tune token selection for a balance between diversity and coherence in responses.

3. Prompt Engineering​

Craft effective prompts to get the best results from your chosen model:

  • Be clear and specific in your instructions.
  • Provide context and examples when necessary.
  • Use consistent formatting and structure across similar tasks.

4. Error Handling and Fallbacks​

Implement robust error handling:

  • Set up fallback options in case of API failures or unexpected responses.
  • Monitor and log model performance to identify and address issues proactively.

5. Cost Management​

Optimize your usage to control costs:

  • Cache frequently requested information to reduce API calls.
  • Use smaller or more efficient models for simpler tasks.
  • Implement usage limits and monitoring to prevent unexpected expenses.
