17

You are a Generative AI architect at a large financial services firm. The firm has deployed a custom large language model (LLM) fine-tuned on proprietary financial reports to assist analysts in generating quarterly earnings summaries. The model is hosted on Vertex AI using a dedicated endpoint with autoscaling enabled. Recently, the model's output has exhibited two issues: (1) occasional factual inaccuracies about specific financial figures, and (2) a tendency to produce overly verbose and repetitive text in the summaries, sometimes exceeding the desired length of 200 words. The team has already tried adjusting the temperature parameter from 0.7 to 0.2 and increased the top-k sampling from 40 to 50, but the problems persist. The model's training data includes over 10,000 financial reports, and the fine-tuning process used low-rank adaptation (LoRA) with rank 16. The production environment uses a batch size of 1 for inference. You need to recommend a course of action that most directly addresses both the factual accuracy and verbosity issues without requiring a full retraining of the model. Which approach should you take?

A healthcare company is using a fine-tuned version of PaLM 2 on Vertex AI to generate clinical notes from doctor-patient conversations. The model was fine-tuned on a dataset of 10,000 de-identified transcripts and corresponding notes.
